但是它还有一些引申义和特殊用法,学为贵帅哥给大家分享一下。
1. shot n. 努力、尝试
常用搭配:give it a shot, give it your best shot
e.g. I'm not sure if I'll succeed, but I'll give it a shot.
2. a shot in the dark 瞎猜
e.g. Oh, I had no idea you were into guys. It was just a shot in the dark.
3. a long shot 成功希望不大的尝试
e.g. I know it's a long shot, but I'll still tell her how I feel so I won't regret not doing it in the future.
4. like a shot 立刻、飞快
e.g. Once you've made up your mind, you should begin doing it like a shot. There's no time to be wasted.
