凱瑟琳升職記:面試篇之你擊敗對手的希望落空了
Catherine在面試一個大公司時一波三折，終于進(jìn)了最后一關(guān)。到最后一輪面試的時候，她卻被告知要進(jìn)行英語綜合測試。英語一直是Catherine相對薄弱的環(huán)節(jié)，Jenny知道后，嘆息說：what a pity ,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents.Catherine心里很困惑，便問到：why should I pray?Jenny 知道她又誤會了 便給她解釋
J：what a pity ,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents
J: 真可惜，你擊敗對手的希望落空了
C：why should I pray? I don't think praying can help me .
C：我為什么要祈禱呢 我不覺得祈禱能幫上我什么忙
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，我又被誤解了。You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents 意思是說 英語是你的弱項，所以你打敗對手的希望很渺茫
C: you're right. I don't have a prayer of beating my opponents
C：你說的是。我擊敗對手的希望落空了
【小編的小喇叭】
You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents你擊敗對手的希望落空了。
have a prayer是”對某事心存希望，祈禱某事成真“的意思。那么此處否定形式就是“希望落空，沒有希望”的意思。
【情景劇】
carl：My opponent has the experience of studying abroad.So English is a piece of cake for hin.
卡爾：我的對手有留學(xué)經(jīng)歷，所以英語對他來說是小菜一碟
Amanda:Well,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents.
阿曼達(dá)：你擊敗對手的希望落空了
