When you listen to American English, you might hear this: Last-Ditch Effort
当你听美语时，你可能会听到这个短语：最后的努力
Let's find out what it means. Listen:
让我们来看看这是什么意思。一起听一下：
Did you watch that basketball game last night?
你看了昨晚的篮球比赛了吗？
Yeah, that shot at the end of the game was a real last-ditch effort to try and win.
看了，比赛最后阶段的那记投篮，是为了赢球做出的最后的努力。
But it's hard to make the basket from that far away!
但是在那么远的距离是很难投进的。
Too bad he didn't make it. He could've won the game for the team.
太糟糕了，他没能投进。他本来可以为球队赢得比赛的。
A last-ditch effort is a final attempt to succeed at something.
最后的努力是指为某事的成功做出得最后一搏。
It is a difficult thing to do. It may or may not work.
通常这比较困难。也许会成功，也许不会。
In our example, the basketball player's last-ditch effort to make a basket did not work, and his team lost the game.
在我们的例子中，那名篮球运动员的最后一投没有投进，而他的球队也因此输了比赛。
And that's English in a minute.
