習(xí)語(yǔ)：a chance in a million

講解：這是一個(gè)名詞性短語(yǔ)。Chance的意思是“機(jī)會(huì)”。A chance in a million 意為白萬(wàn)年的一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，意為“很小的機(jī)會(huì)”。

支持范例：She thought that there was a chance in a million that she might be right.

但她仍然認(rèn)為自己的想法仍有百萬(wàn)分之一的可能性。

We haven' t a chance in a million ( ie We have almost no chance ) of winning.

我們勝利的機(jī)會(huì)微乎其微。

It was a chance in a million that he should have broken his leg on that day.

真是走狗屎運(yùn)，他就是在那一天沒(méi)摔斷了他的腿。

迷你對(duì)話：

A :Do you think you'll get the project?

你認(rèn)為你能得到這項(xiàng)工程嗎?

B :It'sa chance in a million. I hear Johnis interested init.

機(jī)會(huì)很小，我聽(tīng)說(shuō)約翰也對(duì)它感興趣。

A :I see.After all, he's boss's son.

我明白了，畢竟他是老板的兒子。

B :But anyway, I'llhave a try.

但無(wú)論如何，我也要嘗試一下再說(shuō)。

詞海拾貝：

be interested in 對(duì) ... 感興趣

Eg. Bob mentioned the class presidency to Ted as a trial balloon to see if Ted might be interested in running.

鮑勃向特德提到班主席職位以試探特德是否熱衷于參加其競(jìng)選。

Eg. It occurs to me that he might be interested in the problem we had discussed.

我想起來(lái)了他也許對(duì)我們討論過(guò)的那個(gè)問(wèn)題感興趣。

Eg. I think you may be interested in our new product.

I see. 我明白了。

after all 畢竟，到底，究竟

Eg. After all, it was the father's place to bring up his son.

不管怎么說(shuō)，教養(yǎng)兒子的事應(yīng)該由父親來(lái)作主。

Eg, After all, you could hardly ask for a more challenging job.

不管怎么說(shuō)，你總不能為他要求一個(gè)更加稱心如意的職位了吧。

Eg. After all, France-Soir is known for aggressive reporting.

畢竟，《法蘭西晚報(bào)》以報(bào)道聳人聽(tīng)聞的消息著稱。

It seems three good methods, I will have a try.

貌似不錯(cuò)的三種方法，改天我嘗試下。
