“That ship has sailed.” 是個還蠻常用的美式英文成語
也有人說 The ship has sailed.
它字面上的意思是說 ”船已經開走了”
用在指一個人已經錯過了某種機會的時候
(只好眼睜睜看著船越飄越遠......)
比如:
A: Hey, what happened to the girl you wanted to fix me up with last time?
B: Dude, that ship has sailed. She’s got a boyfriend now.
或是:
A: If your boss offers you a raise, will you stay on the job?
B: The ship has sailed. He should have offered me a raise last year.
總之要指別人已經錯失良機時, 就可以說: That ship has sailed.
(影集中常用在指已分手的男女朋友或離婚的另一半又想回頭的時候......)

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.
