M: Oh, Man, I hate trying to park in this city! There are never any spaces. Hey look! There's one!
L: 啊！我看到了那�位子，嗯，可是， Michael, 我不知道我�不�停那��。我的停�技�很差，我怕出差�把��撞了。
M: Ah! Don't worry about it! You have to learn this sooner or later. Give it a shot!
L: 你�什�？ Give what? 你要 我把�怎�啦？
M: I said give it a shot, that means try or give it a try. We say give a shot when we ask someone to try something they are not sure they can do.
L: 哦～，疑？ 你用的字 shot, s-h-o-t. 是不是 就像��射�的那� shot 啊？
M: That's right. For instance, when you are taking a test, and you are not sure of the answer to a question, you still have to give it a shot and try to guess the correct answer.
L: 哦～ ，give it a shot 原�指的就是�量��，即使你�有多大 的信心。
M: That's right. Now you try and use this phrase. Go ahead, give it a shot!
L: 嗯～， 如果�你想要申�一�很好的工作，可是又怕自己得不到，那你就可以�： Give it a shot! 反正你也不�有什��失的 喔。
M: You've got it.
L: 那～，�有�有其它�合可以用 shot ��字呢？
M: Well, we might also say give it your best shot.
L: 哦～， 所以我�也可以� "give it your best shot"，意思呢 就是全力以赴去�一下。
M: That's right. Now you'd better move your car into that space. We shouldn't sit here in the middle of the road. Go ahead and park, give it a shot!
L: 好，那我就��看�。
…………………………………………………………………….
L: 哎哦， 我的天啊， Michael，我撞到哪 �啦？
M: Ha, Don't worry Li Hua, it's not a big deal. The bumper just hit the parking meter.
L: 你�什�大不大的呀？不管撞倒哪�都不得了啊。
M: No , no, I said it's not a big deal. That means it's not very serious.
L: 哦～， 那， big deal � 是哪��字啊，怎�拼 呢?
M: Big, b-i-g; Deal, d-e-a-l. If something is a big deal it is very serious, or very important to someone.
L: 呀～ ，我明白了，�我撞上停���表的�候，你� it's not a big deal，你的意思就 是�什�大不了的，我�有造成 太大的 �害，�不�？
M: Yeah, at least I don't think you did. Maybe you scratched the bumper or the parking meter. You didn't really damage the car or meter, so it's not a big deal.
L: 原�如此，唉，但�你�的�。�，�有，要是不用 not ��字可不可以 啊？
M: Sure you can, for instance, it was a big deal for me when I turned 16 and got a drivers license.
L: ��，�美�青年人��啊，拿到���照真是件大事。
M: Looks like you understand how to use this phrase. Why don't you make another sentence?
L: 嗯 ，那我就用它 �造� 句子： It was a very big deal for Chinese people when Beijing got the chance to host the 2008 Summer Olympics.
M: It sure was! I remember on TV, I saw a lot of people in Beijing partying when that happened.
L: 哎呀，�多�了，我得�快把�停好。
M: Yep, if a cop sees you stopping traffic, he might think it is a big deal. Move out of the space and try to park again. Give it another shot!
今天李��到了��常用�： a big deal 和 give it a shot。 A big deal就是指很重大，或者�重的事。 Give it a shot 指的是�量去� 一�。
