你晚上要去哪里吃饭?“你猜”;你要唱什么歌?“你猜”……哈哈,有时候,当小伙伴们问你问题的时候,你也会用“你猜”来逗逗他们吧。今天来看看英文里的各种“猜”如何来表达吧。
1、At a guess 人家一开口,你听到了at a guess,就知道对方是在猜测了。这个短语要表达的是“大约、估计”的意思。 例:At a guess, there were forty people at the party. 我猜,有40人参加了派对。
2、Take a guess 单说Take a guess,英文里就是让别人来猜猜看。你也可以把它用在你的回答中,表示只是一种猜测,别太当真就好~ 例:If I had to take a guess, I'd say he's 40. 如果一定让我猜的话,我觉得他有40岁了。
3、Shot in the dark 大黑天的乱放一枪,你击中目标的可能性太小了。这个短语借此比喻碰运气、是瞎猜哒! 例:We had nothing to go by. It was a shot in the dark, but it turned out right. 我们没什么根据,不过是瞎猜,结果还猜对了。
4、Chances are... 猜测总会有很多种可能,想要说出你认为的那种可能,就用Chances are来引导吧! 例:Chances are she has already heard the news. 我猜她八成已经听说了。
5、(Right) off the top of one's head 木有多想,也不用知道太多,一个猜想就直接冒出来了,灵光乍现的赶脚,有木有?这时你可以使用上面这个短语。 A:How much do you think this car would be worth on a trade? 你觉得这车要是卖的话多少钱? B:Well, right off the top of my head, I'd say about a thousand. 呃... 我猜大概1000块。
