今天我们学的英文短语,跟打棒球有关系。
什么叫a swing and a miss呢?
大家想下这样一个场景:棒球运动员挥动了一下棒球棍,但是却没有击中球。
我们来看一下对应的英文解释:
an attempt to do something that ultimately fails
“尝试想要去做某事但是最终失败了”;
eg: Boy, that joke was a swing and a miss—not one person in the room laughed.
哥们,那笑话明显是失败了。房间里没有一个人笑。
eg: Ooh, a swing and a miss, huh, buddy? Well, there's plenty of other girls to hit on here—maybe one of them will give you their number.
哈,搭讪失败了吧,哥们?咳,这里还有很多其他妹子可以搭讪,也许她们当中有人会愿意给你她的电话号码。
eg: Good luck to you—my last attempt to get a raise out of the boss was a swing and a miss.
祝你好运,我上次想要老板给我涨薪水,再没有下文了。
