Close but no cigar.
/kloʊz bʌt noʊ ˈsaɪɡɑr/
Close but no cigar.
/kloʊz bʌt noʊ ˈsaɪɡɑr/
「緊係但未點」其實係一個相當有意思嘅表達方式,用嚟形容某人或某事非常接近成功,但最後就係未能達標。透過呢個短語,我哋可以感受到達成目樣之際嘅那種遺憾。例如,一個籃球隊喺比賽中以一分之差輸咗比賽,他们可以用「緊係但未點來形」容呢種情冨。或者係一個求職者喺專業大公司嘅面試中表現得非常好,但最後未能獲得職位,都可以話佢「緊係但未點」。透過理解「接近成功但未能成功」嘅短語,我哋唔應該感到灰心或放棄,因為即使失敗,我哋也曾是如此接近成功。透視呢種情況,可以鼓勵我哋繼續努力,用更積極嘅心態面對生活同工作中嘅挑戰。
