你有過聽不懂英文的時候嗎?你知道英語不好是一種怎麼樣的體驗?理解錯了意思,真的很尷尬。
Let somebody down.
這個口語表達的意思是:to fail to help or support somebody as they had hoped or expected,也就是“讓某人失望”的意思。
下面我們再來看幾個例句:

-I promise that our new product won't let you down.
-我保證我們的新產品不會讓你失望。
-Don't let me down and I won't let you down either.
-別讓我失望,我也不會讓你失望。
A long shot.
這個口語表達的本意是打球時的“遠投”“遠射”,既然是遠投遠射,成功的機率就很小,這個口語表達的意思就是“可能性不大的事情,成功希望不大的嘗試”,an attempt or a guess that is not likely to be successful but is worth trying.
下面我們再來看幾個和這個口語表達有關的例句:
-Just hang in there. Although it's a long shot, I got your back.
-堅持下去,儘管成功的機率不大,我也支持你。
-It's a long shot, but it just might work.

-The deal is a long shot, but you have nothing to lose.
這個交易有些冒險,但你也沒什麼損失的。
