大家好，欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目，我是佳莹。

… and I'm Rob. We're going to look at an idiom that's about the possibility of winning – it's 'be in with a shout'.

Jiaying
Be in with a shout. 虽然名词 “shout” 指 “喊叫”，但习语 “be in with a shout” 的意思并不是 “大喊大叫”。

Rob
It's not. 'To be in with a shout' means to have a good chance of winning something or succeeding in something. And there's no need to shout if you want to win!

Jiaying
没错，“be in with a shout” 是一句非正式的英式习语，它表示 “有望获胜或成功”。举一个和体育运动有关的例子，我最喜欢的足球队在联赛中排名第二，如果他们再多进几个球，就 “有望取胜”。They're in with a shout.

Rob
Hmm… But only if there is a realistic chance or probability that they will do it. And this idiom is not just used for sport. It's for any situation in which winning something is a possibility.

Jiaying
OK. 再举一个例子，我要参加一场升职面试，如果一切顺利，我就 “有望晋升”。I'm in with a shout if the interview goes well.

Rob
Good luck with that! Let's hear some more examples of this idiom, shall we?

Examples
According to your teachers, you could be in with a shout of getting top grades in all your exams.

The athlete was in with a shout of winning a gold medal, until he tripped over at the last minute and only came third.

I think we're in with a shout of raising enough money to build the new children's playground.

你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。上面我们介绍了习语 “be in with a shout” 的含义和用法，它的意思是 “有望、有机会获胜或成功”。

Rob
Yes, as I say, it's when there is a good chance you will win. If it's unlikely you're going to achieve something, then we don't use it. I would like to climb to the top of Mount Everest – but let's be honest, I'm not in with a shout of doing that!

Jiaying
True. 对了，我刚买了一张彩票，我觉得 “我很有可能中奖，成为百万富翁”。I'm in with a shout of becoming a millionaire.

Rob
I don't think buying one lottery ticket means there's a good chance of winning millions of pounds – sorry. But hopefully you're in with a shout of getting a promotion and maybe more money!

Jiaying
Wish me luck.

Rob
Good luck, Jiaying. Bye for now.

Jiaying
Bye!
