输定的局面
Rob: Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English. Im Rob.
Li: And 大家好 Im Li.
Rob: Shh shh Li keep the noise down! I need to concentrate, the race is about to finish and Ive got a bet on.
Rob: Yeah! Ive won. Ive actually won. Im rich!
Li: Well done Rob. Rob 赌马赢了钱? 不过赢了多少? So what have you won Rob?
Rob: Ten pounds!
Li: Oh just ten pounds. Ah well, thats quite useful actually.
Rob: Is it?
Li: Well, you owe me five pounds and you did say you would buy me a glass of champagne if you won a race.
Rob: Oh right, so that will leave me. fifty pence. Maybe Im not a winner after all. Honestly! Every time I make some money I have to give it away .
Li: Sorry Rob, its a no-win situation. 你怎么都不会赢,这样也是输,那样也是输,输定了. Its a no-win situation Rob. You cant gain any money because youll always lose it on something else .
Rob: So even though I did win something, I have also lost . Thats a no-win situation is it?
Li: Im afraid it is. 这个短语不仅仅可以用来形容与钱相关的事情,其他一些场合也可以 ,请听例句:
I can get the bus or train to work either way Im going to be late. Its a no-win situation.
The cafe only served ham or beef sandwiches but as a vegetarian I was in a no-win situation.
If she helps in the garden, Mum wont be pleased and if she helps in the kitchen, Dad wont be pleased. She really is in a no-win situation.
Li: 故名思意,输定的局面意味着没有成功的可能。So Rob I can see you are disappointed because you have spent your winnings on me.
Rob: I am. It seems impossible to win some money just for myself.
Li: Actually I also won some money fifty pounds so Ill buy you a drink, in fact Ill buy you something to eat tooand you dont need to pay me back that five pounds.
Rob: Oh really? Oh Li thats really kind of you. Now Im in a win-win situation!
Li: Oh, 现在你高兴了吧。 我们学一个反意词 a win-win situation 就是赢定的局面,双赢。请听例句:
The house buyer got a good price and the seller was happy to sell quickly so it was a win-win situation.
If I get to invest your money in the company and you get to share the profits, its a win-win situation.
Rob: So in a win-win situation everyone is happy! Just like our situation now. So where are you taking me for dinner Li?
Li: Did I say dinner? I was just going to buy you a sandwich.
Rob: Oh. Thats not such a good win-win situation, is it?
Li: Maybe Ill buy you some chips too!
Rob: OK great. Lets go. Bye.
Li: Bye bye.
