shot

I got some good shots of people at the party.

If the camera shot is of the listener rather than the speaker that's nonsynchronous.

The team are looking good for a shot at the title.

I know it's a long shot, but my friend Susanne, she takes photography classes in Harrison Hall and...um...

Though it's a long shot, we can look at the schedule.

And well, if you volunteer, you get first shot at everything in advance.

Among the most elegant and enduring of Roman structures based on the arch is the Pont du Gard at Nimes, France, built about 15 c.e. when the empire was nearing its farthest expansion. At this time, industry, commerce, and agri­culture were at their peak. Roman engineering was applied to an ambitious system of public-works projects, not just in Italy but in the outlying areas as well. The Pont du Gard functioned as an aqueduct, a structure meant to trans- port water, and its lower level served as a footbridge across the river. That it stands today virtually intact after nearly two thousand years (and is crossed by cyclists on the route of the famous Tour de France bicycle race) testifies to the Romans’ brilliant engineering skills. Visually, the Pont du Gard exemplifies the best qualities of arch construction. Solid and heavy, obviously durable, it is shot through with open spaces that make it seem light and its weight-bearing capa­bilities effortless.

I heard a shot.

He had murdered Peter at point blank range with a single shot.

She's a good shot.

He had only one shot at goal.

The space shot was shown live on television.

He administered a shot of Nembutal.

She admits her confidence is totally shot.
