今天,我们就来学一个相当好的词:shot ,有开枪, 射击的意思,同时,它还有一个更普遍的意思:试图,设法,have a shot, give a shot, 试一下,试试,最常用的一句话就是:
Let’s give it another shot. 让我们再试一次
下面,多举两个例子:
We failed because of our carelessness; why not give it another shot.
我们是因为粗心才失败的,为什么不再试一次呢。
Don’t be afraid of failure, give it a shot.
别害怕失败,去试试吧。
I am doubtful about my ability, but I’ll have a shot at it.
我对自己的能力表示怀疑, 但我还是想试试看。
最后这一句,我们看到在“shot”后还可以放一个介词 “at”,表示对某件事去试试,be doubtful about…表示对某事表示怀疑,下面我们就这两点给出更多的例句:
Your boss is doubtful about the market, but he’ll have a shot at it.
你老板对市场不太有信心,不过他还是想试试。
My mother is doubtful about the product, but she’ll have a shot at it.
我妈妈对这个产品有些怀疑,但她还是想试试
