"Third time lucky" = lần thứ ba may mắn -> nghĩa là lần cố gắng/nỗ lực thứ ba chắc chắn sẽ có cơ hội thành công hơn hai lần trước; 'quá tam ba bận'.

Ví dụ
“It was always seen as a difficult business because of [BA’s] cost structure (cấu trúc),” said Chris Tarry, aviation (hàng không) consultant at Ctaira consultancy. Over the past decade, easyJet’s share of flights from Gatwick increased by 25 per cent, while BA’s declined by a third, according to Tarry.

She added: “It’s a case of third time lucky as this show has been postponed twice already. I’m really looking forward to what will be a showcase of Laurance’s work.” She adds: “Laurence was a romantic with an eager, inquiring (tò mò) mind which really translated into his art. Nevertheless, he was also quite a modest and private man which is perhaps why he isn’t as well-known as he should be.”

IT was third time lucky for a Bolton School old boy whose attempt to swim the English Channel ­went swimmingly well. Chris Fairweather, from the Class of 2009, had planned to take on the challenge the year with members of the school swim team in his final year, only for it to be cancelled due to poor weather conditions.

Jags have already lost twice to United since the summer, once on penalties in a rescheduled (sắp xếp lại) Aberdeenshire Cup semi-final from last term and again in this season's Shire Cup. Will it be third time lucky for Buckie, who have recalled Marcus Goodall from a loan spell at Huntly?
