喜樂美語
  1. 1

    The downside is the bad part of something that also has good parts. Cheap rent has a downside: the train is far. Working from home has a downside: you miss people. Speakers often pair it with the upside, the good part. You will hear “the downside is…” in everyday talk and in business English (“downside risk” means how badly a plan could go). It is a noun: a downside, the downside. Though actually the word can also mean the under-face of an object, that is not this sense — here it is always about a disadvantage, not a physical bottom.
