'Come down in the world' để nói về ai đó mất/suy giảm vị thế trong xã hội hay trong kinh tế.

Ví dụ
I found out later that when Iolas was a teenager (thiếu niên), he had met Cavafy, who was then in his 60s and living above a brothel (nhà thổ) in the center of Alexandria. His family had come down in the world, and he had been employed as a clerk (thư kí) in the Third Circle of Irrigation of the Ministry of Public Works.

They were successful Protestant (đạo Tin lành) landowners (chủ đất), merchants (thương gia) and bankers. But his branch had come down in the world, what money they had left squandered (hoang phí) by his father’s drinking (nhậu nhẹt) and business failures (thất bại kinh doanh).

The corporate-bond (trái phiếu doanh nghiệp) class system is still in place. Many types of mutual fund (quỹ tương hỗ) are barred from holding non-investment grade (mức không đầu tư) (ie, junk) bonds. But junk (trái phiếu lãi cao có nguy cơ không được thanh toán lại nhưng có thể tạo ra lợi nhuận lớn) is no longer a stunted and shameful offspring. The high-yield market in America is now worth $1.2trn. And investment-grade bonds have also come down in the world.
