Every dog has his day. Every dog has its day.的意思是“凡人皆有得意时；每个人总会有实现自己愿望的一天”。
比如，一个公司的职员很想被提升，但是，他的愿望没有实现，而另一个同事却被提升了。回到家里，他的妻子听到这一消息后对他说：
Darling, I know how upset you are that you didn't get the promotion. But don't take it too hard-your turn will #e. You know what they say—every dog has his day!
亲爱的，我知道你因为没有被提升而感到很不开心。你可别把这件事看得太重了。你以后会有机会的。就像他们说的：人人都有得意之时嘛。
下面的例子是一个作家因找不到出版商出版他的作品而感到烦恼，他的朋友劝他说：
Okay, so this publisher sent back your manuscript, there are plenty of other publishers. You'll
find one who'll buy it—remember, every dog has his day!
行了，就算这个出版商把你的手稿退了回来，那还有好多出版商呢。你会找到一个愿意接受你作品的出版商的。别忘了，人人都会有机会的。
