同一件事有兩次機會；同一件事的第二次機會。
例句：
- One is not often given two bites at the cherry in the world of business. (在商界，倘若失去一次機會，很可能就沒有第二次機會了)
- He failed the exam last summer, but fortunately he gets two bites at the cherry and will do the re-sit in September. (他今夏的考試沒有過關，但幸運地他獲得了第二次機會，將在九月再考一次)
- He’s very lucky – he gets a second bite at the cherry in October if he fails the exam in June. (他非常幸運 — 如果六月的考試沒有過關，他十月還有機會再考一次)
