peer agreement (net): +1Δεν έχει μείνει τίποτα για να κερδίσεις. Explanation: Answers.com: Brass ring=- A person or thing worth catching. - An opportunity to achieve wealth or success; a prize or reward: “missed the brass ring of American success” (Lewis H. Lapham). "A chance to achieve wealth or success; a prize or reward. For example, "As a businessman he let the brass ring go by too many times. And it got him." This quotation from the Boston Globe (July 31, 1995) refers to an executive who was forced to resign. The term comes from the practice of giving a free ride to the person who succeeded in picking a ring out of a box while riding a merry-go-round. [ Slang; late 1800s]" Οπότε θα το έλεγα περιφραστικά. Υπάρχουν άπειροι τρόποι να δώσεις το νόημα. Εγώ έτσι θα το έλεγα: "Δεν έχει μείνει τίποτα για να κερδίσεις/παλέψεις" |

έπαθλο /βραβείο /μεγάλη ευκαιρία για επιτυχία Explanation: brass ring noun Definition: opportunity for success: the opportunity for success, or hard-earned success ( informal ) to have a shot at the brass ring at last [< the custom of giving a free ride to any child who grabbed one of the rings hung around a carousel] http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861686660/brass_ring.html Ευδοξία, καλημέρα και καλή βδομάδα! Θα πρότεινα να ακολουθήσεις πιστά τον ορισμό των λεξικών, δηλαδή «Ξέρεις ότι δεν έχεις να περιμένεις έπαθλα/βραβεία/επιβράβευση/μεγάλες επιτυχίες/μεγάλες ευκαιρίες». |
