看绝望的主妇学英语习语：Nice try

Nice try: used for saying that someone has not been successful in doing something, especially in persuading you or in tricking you; used in an ironic way to say that an attempt at something was not very good or was not a nice thing to do.

中文释义：“Nice try!”是一句非常高频的口语，但是不少人经常会用错。它通常被用于讽刺性的方式，来说明对某件事的尝试不是很好（或不是该做）的选择。由此可见，“Nice try!”不是称赞别人的一句话, 反而是嘲讽别人企图达到某种目的却以失败告终。所以，大家不要光看字面上 Nice try 好像在说别人“做得好”，实际上 Nice try 最常用来讽刺别人“你想得美”。例句: Umm…Nice try! Do you take me for a fool?
