1）翻译下面的句子：
丑闻曝出后，股价急剧下跌。
After the scandal was exposed, the stock price went into a tailspin.
The exposure of the scandal sent the stock price into a tailspin.
（参考翻译：Share prices went into a tailspin after the scandal broke. 或者 The scandal sent share prices into a tailspin. 或者 The scandal erupted, sending share prices into a tailspin.）
评注：第二句是有歧义，到底是丑闻的爆出造成了股价下跌，还是丑闻本身造成了下跌，并不一样。
the stock price特指一个股票，stock prices/share prices是大的股市。
erupt/break 和be exposed都可以用来表达爆发/暴露的意思。
