讲解
Nice Try
表面上好像是在夸别人“做得好、干的漂亮”,而多数情况下意思是“想得美、得了吧”,是一种反讽。另外,当别人很努力做某事却失败的时候,你也可以拍拍肩膀对他说Nice try,这时就有鼓励、安慰的意思了。所以大家要把握好说话的语境。
例句:
Nice try. I wasn't born yesterday, you know.
想得美.我又不是三岁小孩儿.
Nice try, but do you think I would believe that?
得了吧,你觉得我会相信吗?
I/he/she wasn't born yesterday!
解释:我又不是三岁小孩,我没那么好骗,我没那么容易上当
something that you say in order to tell someone that a person is not stupid and cannot be easily deceived
