在此視頻中,聖誕老人偷偷地試圖將錢交給男孩,但男孩的手太小了,無法接收。在這裡,我們說it would've worked this time if his hands weren't so damn small ,這一次是it would've worked this time if his hands weren't so damn small ,這意味著如果男孩的手更大,他會成功的。這would've worked this time ,大致可以理解為[x action] would have been successful/effective 。示例: We could've won the game if the goalie blocked the goal. (如果守門員保持了進球,他本可以贏得比賽。)示例: I would've arrived on time to school if I didn't oversleep my alarm. (如果我在設置鬧鐘時醒來,那我會準時到達學校的。)
