미국 캐나다 생활 영어: Take a stab

안녕하세요

미국 캐나다 실생활 영어 알려드리는 카니잉글리시입니다 ^^

​

"Take a stab"

"Take a stab"은 보통 어렵거나 위험한 일을 시도하는 것을 의미하는 관용구입니다. 

종종 성공이 확실하지 않거나 과제가 어려운 경우에 사용됩니다. 

결과가 불확실하거나 작업이 어려운 경우에도 노력하거나 시도하는 것을 함축합니다. 

또한 문제나 질문에 직면했을 때 추측하거나 추정하는 것을 시사할 수도 있습니다.

 

한 마디로

"일단 한 번 해봐"라는 소리입니다. ^^

*추첨에 당첨될지 누가 알아? 한 번 찔러나 봐~ 요런 느낌 ㅎㅎㅎ

 

예문으로 뉘앙스 확실히 파악하고 가겠습니다.

고고!
