Catherine在面试一个大公司时一波三折，终于进了最后一关。到最后一轮面试的时候，她却被告知要进行英语综合测试。英语一直是Catherine相对薄弱的环节，Jenny知道后，叹息说：what  a  pity ,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents.Catherine心里很困惑，便问到：why should I pray?Jenny 知道她又误会了 便给她解释

J：what  a  pity ,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents
J: 真可惜，你击败对手的希望落空了
C：why should I pray? I don't think praying can help me .
C：我为什么要祈祷呢 我不觉得祈祷能帮上我什么忙
J: well,I'm misunderstood again.You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents means that you have little or no hope to beat your opponents since English is your weakness.
J：啊，我又被误解了。You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents 意思是说 英语是你的弱项，所以你打败对手的希望很渺茫
C: you're right. I don't have a prayer of beating my opponents
C：你说的是。我击败对手的希望落空了
【小编的小喇叭】

You don't have a prayer of beating your opponents你击败对手的希望落空了。

have a prayer是”对某事心存希望，祈祷某事成真“的意思。那么此处否定形式就是“希望落空，没有希望”的意思。
 

【情景剧】

carl：My opponent has the experience of studying abroad.So English is a piece of cake for hin.
卡尔：我的对手有留学经历，所以英语对他来说是小菜一碟
Amanda:Well,you don't have a prayer of beating your opponents.
阿曼达：你击败对手的希望落空了
