TODAY'S IDIOM: A SLIM CHANCE

"A SLIM CHANCE"
Very little chance, not likely to happen.

Example: Is it going to rain today? Maybe; there's a slim chance.

Una pequeña posibilidad.

  • There is a slim chance that I will arrive on Monday, but Tuesday is more likely / Hay una pequeña posibilidad de que llegue el lunes, pero el martes es más probable.

  • If your baby is not responding to treatment, there is only a very slim chance of survival / Si el bebé no reacciona al tratamiento, hay una probabilidad muy baja de que sobreviva.

Additional examples:

  • These girls and women have a slim chance of escaping extreme poverty or of giving their children a better life.

  • Why make films at all, if there's such a slim chance of having them seen?
