Meaning
« There goes » est une expression anglaise utilisée pour indiquer qu'une opportunité, un objet ou même une personne est en train de disparaître ou est déjà parti. Elle peut également exprimer une certaine résignation ou déception face à une situation qui ne peut plus être changée.
Par exemple, si vous venez de laisser tomber votre glace par terre, vous pourriez dire : « There goes my ice cream! », ce qui signifie que votre glace est perdue. De même, si vous voyez un bus partir alors que vous couriez pour l'attraper, vous pourriez dire : « There goes the bus », soulignant que vous avez manqué votre chance de monter à bord.
En résumé, « There goes » est souvent employé pour marquer la perte ou l'échec de quelque chose que vous ne pouvez plus récupérer. Utilisez cette expression lorsque vous voulez exprimer que quelque chose est hors de portée ou irrécupérable.
