Cách sử dụng
The phrase "a long shot" is used when you want to say that something is very unlikely to happen or very difficult to achieve. This expression comes from the world of shooting, where a long shot refers to a shot taken from a great distance, which is unlikely to hit its target. So when something is a long shot, it means it's like trying to hit a bullseye from very far away. For example, if someone says "I'm going to apply for that job, even though I don't have all the qualifications," you can say "That's a bit of a long shot, isn't it?" or "That's a long shot, but it's worth a try." Essentially, "a long shot" means something that is possible, but not very likely.
