用a long shot表达“可能性不大的事情,成功希望不大

本文和大家分享的口语表达是:a long shot。这个口语表达的本意是打球时的“远投”“远射”,既然是远投远射,成功的机率就很小,这个口语表达的意思就是“可能性不大的事情,成功希望不大的尝试”,an attempt or a guess that is not likely to be successful but is worth trying。



  • My favorite basketball team is in the final at the weekend. I hope they could win, but it‘s a long shot.
    我最喜欢的篮球队周末要打决赛了,我希望他们能赢,但是赢的几率不太大。
  • I don‘t have a clue where he is, but as a long shot I‘d say he‘s gone to see his girlfriend.
    我并不知道他在哪儿,但我猜他可能去见他女朋友了。

下面我们再来看几个和这个口语表达有关的例句:

  • Just hang in there. Although it‘s a long shot, I got your back.
    坚持下去,尽管成功的几率不大,我也支持你。
  • It‘s a long shot, but it just might work.
    没有什么把握,但也许行得通。
  • The deal is a long shot, but you have nothing to lose.
    这个交易有些冒险,但你也没什么损失的。
