a shot in the dark-- an attempt without much hope of success / a wild guess

盲目瞎猜或臆测（通常指碰對或猜中）

相同於口語化的說法-(瞎貓碰到死耗子)或(亂槍打鳥)

Example:

Oprah: "That was a quite difficult question. How did you get it right?"

那是個很難的問题，你是怎麼答對的？

Jimmy: well, "I just took a shot in the dark."

我只是瞎猜。

Example:

Sherry: I was amazed that how you hit the jackpot?

我很驚訝!你是怎麼中獎的?

Billy: It was just a shot in the dark. I had no idea how I exactly hit the numbers.

我也不知道，我只是瞎猜的。
