Chance would be a fine thing是什么意思

capricorn_ye

看了一部片子
男主角问保姆要香烟
保姆说：You never let me touch your things!
Chance would be a fine thing.
翻译写：幸好你不让

后来百度了下：
【原意】：机会

例1：Chance is a good thing. （变体——Chance would be a fine thing .）
【引申义】：此语意为一个人很难知道在有某种机会时自己会有什么行为、会采取什么行动、会做什么决定、会变成怎样的人。

例2：He has as much chance as a fart in a windstrom.
【引申义】：此语意为他根本没有机会，根本不可能成功。

还是不懂

瞎猜一下：
保姆的意思可能如下：
你从来不让我用你的东西。现在机会来了，我也不给你抽我的香烟。
