Do a Devon Loch

Devon Loch was a racehorse that collapsed just short of the winning line of the 1956 Grand National race in the UK. If someone does a Devon Loch, they suddenly fail when everybody expects them to succeed or simply crumble at the very last minute when they were almost winning.

Devon Loch是一匹賽馬,在1956年英國賽馬大賽上,它在離終點線只剩一點距離的時候摔倒了,與冠軍失之交臂。從此之后,常常被用來形容某人差一點就能做成功某事,功虧一簣。

It was shocking how Manchester United did a Devon Loch in the last minutes of the match against Arsenal.

曼聯(lián)竟然在與阿森納比賽的最后幾分鐘功虧一簣,真令人震驚。
