大家應該知道 shot 有 ”射擊” 的意思
但什麼叫 ”很長的射擊” (a long shot) 呢?
如果在開槍射擊時, 距離目標很遠, 當然就不易打中
所以當人家說某件事是 a long shot 時
意思就是它成功的機率不高, 不太可能發生

B: Well, it’s a long shot, but you never know.
(嗯, 我看成功機會不大, 但有時也很難講)

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
