"Chance would be a fine thing" nghĩa là gì?

"Chance would be a fine thing" = cơ hội cũng có thể là một điều tốt -> nghĩa là tôi muốn làm điều đó nhưng chẳng bao giờ có cơ hội.

Ví dụ
Stewart is sufficiently polite (đủ lịch sự) not to snort derisorily (khịt mũi chế giễu) at a question about planned breaks or the naïve (ngây thơ) idea that a quick 40 winks (chớp mắt) would be necessary to get through a full day on your feet. Chance would be a fine thing.

There are players and figures (nhân vật) from game doing all kinds of similar things, and we’re sure we’ll see more and more of it. Perhaps some will even deign to give up their monster wages (lương khổng lồ) for these months where they’re not playing? Chance would be a fine thing…

As he quite rightly says, this has proved to be a failure (thất bại). The Transport for London engineers (kỹ sư) who pushed this through at Highbury Corner should consider their positions and resign (xin thôi việc) – and Cllr Richard Watts could also consider doing the same thing. Chance would be a fine thing. No doubt they will be given a promotion (thăng chức) as well as a hefty pay rise (tăng lương mạnh) to boot.
