Catherine在面试一个大公司时一波三折,终于进了最后一关。到最后一轮面试的时候,她却被告知要进行英语综合测试。英语一直是Catherine相对薄弱的环节,Jenny知道后,叹息说:what  a  pity ,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents.Catherine心里很困惑,便问到:why should I pray?Jenny 知道她又误会了 便给她解释


J:what  a  pity ,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents

J: 真可惜,你击败对手的希望落空了

C:why should I pray? I don't think praying can help me .

C:我为什么要祈祷呢 我不觉得祈祷能帮上我什么忙

J: well,I'm misunderstood again.You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents means that you have little or no hope to beat your opponents since English is your weakness.

J:啊,我又被误解了。You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents 意思是说 英语是你的弱项,所以你打败对手的希望很渺茫

C: you're right. I don't have a prayer of beating my opponents

C:你说的是。我击败对手的希望落空了

【小编的小喇叭】


You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents你击败对手的希望落空了。


have a prayer是”对某事心存希望,祈祷某事成真“的意思。那么此处否定形式就是“希望落空,没有希望”的意思。

 


【情景剧】

卡尔:我的对手有留学经历,所以英语对他来说是小菜一碟

Amanda:Well,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents.

阿曼达:你击败对手的希望落空了
