Catherine在面試一個(gè)大公司時(shí)一波三折，終于進(jìn)了最后一關(guān)。到最后一輪面試的時(shí)候，她卻被告知要進(jìn)行英語(yǔ)綜合測(cè)試。英語(yǔ)一直是Catherine相對(duì)薄弱的環(huán)節(jié)，Jenny知道后，嘆息說(shuō)：what  a  pity ,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents.Catherine心里很困惑，便問(wèn)到：why should I pray?Jenny 知道她又誤會(huì)了 便給她解釋

J：what  a  pity ,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents
J: 真可惜，你擊敗對(duì)手的希望落空了
C：why should I pray? I don't think praying can help me .
C：我為什么要祈禱呢 我不覺(jué)得祈禱能幫上我什么忙
J: well,I'm misunderstood again.You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents means that you have little or no hope to beat your opponents since English is your weakness.
J：啊，我又被誤解了。You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents 意思是說(shuō) 英語(yǔ)是你的弱項(xiàng)，所以你打敗對(duì)手的希望很渺茫
C: you're right. I don't have a prayer of beating my opponents
C：你說(shuō)的是。我擊敗對(duì)手的希望落空了
【小編的小喇叭】

You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents你擊敗對(duì)手的希望落空了。

have a prayer是”對(duì)某事心存希望，祈禱某事成真“的意思。那么此處否定形式就是“希望落空，沒(méi)有希望”的意思。
 

【情景劇】

carl：My opponent has the experience of studying abroad.So English is a piece of cake for hin.
卡爾：我的對(duì)手有留學(xué)經(jīng)歷，所以英語(yǔ)對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)是小菜一碟
Amanda:Well,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents.
阿曼達(dá)：你擊敗對(duì)手的希望落空了
