Window of opportunity 稍纵即逝的好机会

The playing season usually lasts from August to next April. The transfer window usually lasts a month. For 2020, it opened on January 1, closing at the end of January 31.

Like a regular window, it opens and it closes. While it's open, there is the opportunity for everybody.

As opportunities go, the window of opportunity is temporary. It doesn't last forever. Hence, carpe diem. Seize the day. Grab the opportunity while it's there.

Alright, here are recent media examples of "window of opportunity":

1. Can the state tell your favorite local restaurant to close, or tell you that you must stay at home unless it’s absolutely necessary to leave, because of an emergency? The governors of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have closed down bars, movie theaters and dine-in restaurants. Six counties in the San Francisco Bay Area have imposed a shelter-in-place order that allows people to leave their homes only for essential activities.

In response to these drastic measures intended to slow down the spread of coronavirus, there are plenty of voices on social media, and even some in government, denouncing such measures as unprecedented, un-American and unconstitutional. Most of us have never imagined such impositions outside of a situation of armed conflict, but allegations that those measures in the current circumstances are unlawful are wrong. And this is a case where legal misinformation can exacerbate a public health crisis.
