English term or phrase: Sod it!
Story background:
I had a tough relationship with my girlfriend. At this point, My friend invited me to live him for some time.

I mulled it over for a week and thought:"Sod it, it's too good an opportunity to waste."

According to dictionaries, Sod it means Damn it(该死). But I guess here it should mean Wow.

Chinese translation:也罢
Explanation:
我觉得,这里的 Sod it 似乎是经过一番犹豫后拿定主意时表示决心的感叹词,多少有点豁出去了的味道。先出去躲个清静,玩个痛快。至于女朋友会怎么样,见鬼去吧!


也罢,这么好的机会还是不要浪费了。

管它呢,这么好的机会浪费了岂不可惜。

去它的吧,这么好的机会浪费了才叫傻呢。

sod it!
哼/嘿嘿


Explanation:
Sod it只是个语气词,因使用环境不同可以有不同的意思。这里是有你说的Wow之意,但似乎还有点窃窃自喜,暗中解恨的含义。
如果翻译成“哼,我可不能错过这次好机会”是否符合你的上下文。
