工作出现严重失误,老板想要炒了你。你虚心承认错误,保证自己以后不会再犯,老板考虑了一下,说,好了,给你最后一次机会。I offer you a last shot at working here.我给你最后一次在这里工作的机会。【上期回顾:你已经无路可逃了You've reached the end of the line.】
其中last shot用来表示最后的机会。而你则要把握住最后一次机会,get the last shot,尽最大努力做到最好,I am going to give it my best shot. 例如:
That was our last shot.
刚才的行动就是我们最后的机会。
影视情景再现:
《生活大爆炸》中,漫画男在书店向雷纳德请教,这是他和佩妮最后的机会了,第二次约会应该怎么做才不会搞砸。
音频:
-Man:This is probably my last shot with Penny and I don't want to screw it up.
总之,这是我和Penny的最后机会了,我不想搞砸了。
-Leonard:Nobody wants that.
谁想搞砸啊。
-Man:So, here's my question: It's the second date,
所以我的问题就来了,第二次约会
you think she'll be expecting things to get physical?
你觉得她会不会想来点…身体接触?
-Leonard:Gee…
哎呀……
My initial reaction is "no,"
我第一反应是“不想”,
but let me think about it and get back to you.
但还是让我想想吧,回来告诉你。
-Man:So, you'll give me a call?
那你打给我?
-Leonard:Yeah, or you call me.
嗯,你打给我也成。
-Man:Great.
好。
-Leonard:Or nobody calls anyone.
谁也不给谁打更好。
