[영어속담] A miss is as good as a mile

[ 온튜 http://www.ontue.com - 영어 공부 정보 제공 사이트 http://ontue.com/?lesson_ko ]   A miss is as good as a mile   Proverbial Meaning: If you nearly succeed but fail the result is the same as failing spectacularly. Literal Origins: Whether you miss a target you’re aiming for by one inch or one mile, you have still missed. Common Usage: This proverb’s usage is not all that common in speech, but it is still well known. It may reflect the thoughts of a disgruntled gambler, for instance, who bet his money on a football team that lost three goals to four. It was a close match but they still lost so, to the gambler, the result would be the same if they’d lost by ten goals for zero.   온튜 OnTue.COM 수 만명의 온라인 영어 강사 실시간 채팅 및 강사 정보 제공. 사진, 동영상, 이력서, 전화번호 정보 공개! http://ontue.com
