重點(diǎn)解說(shuō):
★ root for ~ 是「為~加油」的意思,也可用cheer for ~, cheer on ~, pull for ~等語(yǔ)。
★ be likely to ~「有可能~」此語(yǔ)用于預(yù)測(cè)一種可能發(fā)生的狀況。It is likely that Jim will quit the job.「吉姆有可能辭職不干。」這句話可以改寫成"Jim is likely to quit the job." It seems ~, It appears ~, It looks (like) ~ 等的意思是「似乎~,好像~」,所以也可用來(lái)預(yù)想某種可能的狀況,如It seems that Mary will win the game. = Mary seems to win the game.「瑪麗似乎會(huì)贏得比賽。」此外,類似的表達(dá)法 還有Chances are (that) ~「很有可能~」一語(yǔ),Chances are (that) the company will withdraw from the project.「該公司很有可能取消這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃?!乖诳谡Z(yǔ)中Fat chance! 的意思是「哪有可能!」
★sh 一語(yǔ)用于請(qǐng)人不要作聲。
