A shot in the dark
Definition: an attempt to guess something when you have no information or knowledge about it
a shot in the dark這個(gè)慣用語意思是“亂猜，臆想”, 從它的字面意思“黑暗中的一槍"也很容易理解。黑暗中開槍肯定是碰運(yùn)氣，亂射一氣，那么它就比喻沒有什么根據(jù)的亂猜、瞎蒙。比如說在QQ上聊天時(shí)，別人問你怎么知道他是男的，你也說不清楚理由，那這時(shí)你就可以回答說it was just a shot in the dark. 有時(shí)也可以表示沒有事實(shí)基礎(chǔ)的臆斷，比如The whole theory is a shot in the dark.
Example
Teacher: That was such a difficult question! How did you get it right?
這個(gè)問題真的很難！你是怎么做對(duì)的？
Student: I just took a shot in the dark
我只是瞎猜而已。
