fisherman’s tale 夸张的故事；无稽之谈
【例句】
Have you heard the one about the pike that tried to eat a mule? Unlike some fisherman’s tales this one could be true, because it’s been around for 300 years. Izaak Walton told it first.
你有听过一条狗鱼要吃掉一头骡子的事吗?这可不是无稽之谈，这是真的，这事已传了三百年了，是艾扎克・沃尔顿先讲出来的。
Jack Newton won the championship last week and we then said: “This tournament is the one that got away last year.”
杰克·牛顿上周赢得冠军后说道:“这次冠军本来去年就该拿到的。”
