最後一次 (last-ditch)

為了爭取保存中環天星碼頭，保育分子找到2001年政府有關中環填海的環評報告，作為保留碼頭的最後一次努力。
The report was resurrected yesterday by conservationists in a last-ditch effort at preservation as authorities prepared for demolition。在分組界別選舉前夕，支持政府和支持民主的陣營作出最後一次努力，要求23個分組界別的選民小心選擇候選人。Meanwhile, both pro-government and pro-democracy camps made lastditch efforts, calling on electors of 23 contested sub-sectors to carefully choose candidates representing their corresponding camps。
Last-ditch 是「最後一次」的意思，其他例子：The negotiators
made a last-ditch effort to reach an agreement 是「談判人員作出最後一次努力以達成協議」。In a lastditch attempt to save the company from collapsing, they asked the government to lend them money是「他們為挽救公司作了最後一次嘗試，請求政府貸款」。
