почему никто не использовал глагол "would"

Elena Bogomolovaadicionou o comentário 8 years ago

Uly, why did you use the verb "to score"? It seems to have another meaning than needed here.

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 8 years ago

Elena, we also use score when someone manages to find or acquire something valuable, rare or just hard to get for their "team," (an analogy to scoring points in a game). In this example, the subject sometimes SCORED cool things for his museum.

Look at this article. Second paragraph, third line: http://whennerdsattack.com/2011/03/06/how-to-get-into-comic-con-parties/

The author "scored a pass" meaning that he got his hands on a ticket that is normally very hard to find.
