在漫漫人生道路上，我们免不了要“栽跟头”。摔倒并不可怕，重要的是要学会重新站起来。

“栽跟头”，本意是“摔跤，跌跤（tumble; fall）”，常用来比喻经历失败或遭受挫折（ suffer a setback）。与英文惯用语“come a cropper”意思相近，表示“suffer a sudden and embarrassing failure”或“accidentally fall and hurt oneself”。

例句：

不老实的人到头来总是要栽跟头的。Dishonest people are bound to come a cropper in the end.

投资是一项风险事业，就是那些懂行的人有时也会栽跟头。
