just this once
used to emphasize that this is the only time you are allowing something,
asking for something etc, and it will not happen again
用来强调这是你唯一一次允许或者请求做某事,并且这种事情不会再发生;就这一次,仅此一回
你可以用这个说法来表达某个例外的事情只能发生这一次,并且暗指对方或者自己不会再做。就比方说,在家中,父亲正在看球赛喝酒放松,因为他认为他工作很累,回到家里就想做点自己喜欢的事情。但是他的儿子却不停地打扰他想让他陪他玩,于是父亲大发雷霆:
I want to watch the match in peace, just this once.
我就想能安安静静地看一次比赛。
A:I know I did the wrong thing, but please don't report me. Just this
once.
我知道我做错了,但请不要举报我。就这一次。
B:OK - I won't report you. But I don't want to see you doing it again.
好的 - 我不会举报你。但我不希望再看到你做这件事。
All right, I'll lend you the money - just this once.
好吧,我把钱借给你——仅此一回。
