Oh, man, I hate trying to park car in this city. There are never any spaces. Hey, look, there's one. Au, don't worry about it. You have to learn this sooner or later. Give it a shot. I said give it a shot, that means try or give it a try. We say give a shot when we ask someone to try something they are not sure they can do. That's right. For instance, when you are taking a test, and you are not sure of the answer to a question, you still have to give it a shot and try to guess the correct answer. That's right. Now you try use the phrase. Go ahead, give it a shot. You've got it. Well, we might also say give it your best shot. That's right. Now you'd better move your car into that space. We shouldn't sit here in the middle of the road. Go ahead and park, give it a shot. Don't worry, Li Hua, it's not a big deal. The bumper just hit the parking meter. No, no, I said its not a big deal. That means it's not very serious. If something is a big deal it is very serious, or very important to someone. Yeah, at least I don't think you did. Maybe you scratched the bumper or the parking meter. You didn't really damage the car or meter, so it's not a big deal. Sure you can, for instance, it was a big deal for me when I turned 16 and got a drivers license. Looks like you understand how to use this phrase. Why don't you make another sentence? It sure was. I remember on TV, I saw a lot of people in Beijing partying when that happened. Yep, if a cop sees you stopping traffic, he might think it is a big deal. Move out of the space, try to park again. Give it another shot.
M: Oh, man, I hate trying to park car in this city. There are never any spaces. Hey, look, there's one. L: 啊!我看到了那个位子。 Um, Michael, 可是我不知道我该不该停那儿。我的停车技术很差,我怕出差错把车给撞了。 M: Au, don't worry about it. You have to learn this sooner or later. Give it a shot. L: 你说什么?Give what? 我该把车干吗? M: I said give it a shot, that means try or give it a try. We say give a shot when we ask someone to try something they are not sure they can do. L: 噢,你用的字 shot, S-H-O-T. 就好像开枪射击的那个shot,是不 是? M: That's right. For instance, when you are taking a test, and you are not sure of the answer to a question, you still have to give it a shot and try to guess the correct answer. L: 奥,give it a shot原来指的是尽量试试,即使你没有多大信心。 M: That's right. Now you try and use this phrase. Go ahead, give it a shot. L: Hmm, 如果说你想要申请一个很好的工作,可是又怕自己得不到,你就可以说:Give it a shot! 反正你也不会有什么损失的。 M: You've got it. L: 那还有没有其它场合可以用shot这个字的? M: Well, we might also say give it your best shot. L: 好,所以我们也可以说"give it your best shot", 意思就是全力以赴去试一下。 M: That's right. Now you'd better move your car into that space. We shouldn't sit here in the middle of the road. Go ahead and park, give it a shot. L: 好,我就试试。 L: 我的天, Michael,我撞到哪里了? M: Don't worry, Li Hua, it's not a big deal. The bumper just hit the parking meter. L: 你说不大什么?不管撞倒哪儿都不得了啊。 M: No, no, I, I said its not a big deal. That means it's not very serious. L: Oh, 那"big deal"是哪两个字,怎么拼? M: If something is a big deal it is very serious, or very important to someone. L: 奥,我明白了,当我撞上停车计时表,你说 its not a big deal,你的意思是说没什么大不了的。我并没有造成多大损害。 M: Yeah, at least I don't think you did. Maybe you scratched the bumper or the parking meter. You didn't really damage the car or meter, so it's not a big deal. L: 原来如此,但愿你说的对。哎,还有,要是不用 not 这个字可以 吗? M: Sure you can, for instance, it was a big deal for me when I turned 16 and got a drivers license. L: 对。对美国青年人来说,拿到驾驶执照可真是一件大事。 M: Looks like you understand how to use this phrase. Why don't you make another sentence? L: 好,我就用它造句子: It was a very big deal for Chinese people when Beijing got the chance to host the 2008 Summer Olympics. M: It sure was. I remember on TV, I saw a lot of people in Beijing partying when that happened. L: 哎呀,别多说了。我得赶快把车停好。 M: Yep, if a cop sees you stopping traffic, he might think it is a big deal. Move out of the space and try to park again. Give it another shot.
