在word families中有几个例句的翻译想和各位请教，如下
1. Any association with the former company will put us in a negative light.
问题:in a...light根据Longman线上字典的说明是:
"if someone or something is seen or shown in a particular light, people can
see that particular part of their character"
有点像是指事物的某一面相或角度，也有字典翻作从...的角度/观点。
不过用在此句感觉很怪，in...a light有其他更适合的翻译吗?
2. Do you think customers will associate the failed upstart with ours?
问题:ours翻做我们的(东西)，但从句子中看不出是指什么东西。翻成
"你认为顾客会把我们的和失败的自大狂联想在一起吗?"适合吗?
3. The associated costs will put this project out of our reach.
问题:out of one's reach可以翻作"非某人能力所及"，此句翻成
"相关的花费使这个计画超出我们能力所及。"适合吗?
以上三句请各位不吝指教，谢谢。
