解答
意味:英辞郎によると、
問題文の場合は、当然最初の訳です。ただし、下記英語の定義1のように、start from scratchの中に「ゼロからやり直す」というニュアンスの時があります。
- ゼロ[一]から始める[スタートする]
- ハンディーなしに走る
Answer
According to The Idioms:
- to start doing something over from the beginning
- to begin something from nothing
- restart
Etymology/語源
The Idiomsによると、このイディオムは、徒競走において全ての競技者が同じスタート・ライン(scratch line)から走る競技に由来する。
According to The Idioms:
The origin of the phrase comes from running races where the scratch line was the starting point and would offer no advantage to any person.
