I'm gonna bet on a horse, and if it wins you can keep the dough.Mighty Aphrodite · 1995 — 第 7 / 15 章 · 4'18" · B2
伦尼带琳达去看赛马,让她押一匹六十比一的冷门马「Eager Beaver」,还说是 a long shot(希望很小的一搏)。马一路落后,最后垫底,琳达懊恼得喊自己从没走过运。伦尼没损她,只说她得学会当个 graceful loser(输得有风度的人)。想学「冷门一搏」和「输得有风度」,这段最好用。
伦尼带琳达去赛马场,说好押中了就让她 keep the dough(奖金、那笔钱)。他挑了一匹赔率六十比一、名叫「Eager Beaver」的冷门马,承认这是 a long shot(希望很小的一搏),琳达却认定这是「预兆」。她先想着买栗鼠皮大衣、按摩浴缸,马却越跑越后,最终垫底。琳达失落得说自己从没赢过任何东西;伦尼没笑她,说人得学会当个 graceful loser(输得有风度的人),还愿意借钱给她。赛完他坚持回家,说有老婆孩子,琳达问他还会不会打电话,他保证会。想学「希望很小的一搏」「输得有风度」这些说法,这段最自然。

指「希望很小的一搏」,赌马、面试、创业都能用。戏里伦尼挑的冷门马赔率六十比一,他说这就是 a long shot。

面团是它的本义,但口语里常指「钱」。戏里说 the dough 就是那笔奖金、那笔钱。
指「记下、回头再议」,常带点官腔或打趣。戏里说律师朋友会 take that under advisement,就是会斟酌这个名字。
就是在列选项时说「来一个、我给你举个」。戏里翻马册时 Here's one 引出「Eager Beaver」这匹马。
