每日一詞 206 odds 可能性

今天我們要學(xué)的詞是odds。 Odds是可能性的意思。"The odds are very much in the home team's favor," 就是說(shuō)主場(chǎng)球隊(duì)勝利的機(jī)會(huì)很大。很多人都幻想著中彩票發(fā)大財(cái)，可是"What are the odds to win the lottery?" 中彩的機(jī)會(huì)又有多大呢?

我們還可以說(shuō)"against the odds," 就是說(shuō)困難重重。美國(guó)參議院星期一開始討論一項(xiàng)極具爭(zhēng)議的移民議案。美聯(lián)社報(bào)道說(shuō)，即使議案在參議院勉強(qiáng)獲得通過(guò)，"the measure would face long odds in the House," 意思是這項(xiàng)議案在眾議院也會(huì)遇到很大的阻力。好，今天我們學(xué)習(xí)的詞兒是odds...
