本課您將學(xué)到：nine out of ten times（十之八九），副詞else的使用
你覺(jué)得現(xiàn)在的生活很乏味？你想到外面的世界尋找機(jī)會(huì)？看了今天的文章，也許你會(huì)有對(duì)“機(jī)會(huì)”有全新的理解。
Opportunity never seems to be where we want it to be at the time. It always “ appears” to be somewhere else. Yet, the truth is that nine out of ten times opportunity is right in your own backyard.
We are like the young man who sold the old family farm, because he could see no future in owning it, and wandered the world seeking his fortune. Years later he returned, old and poor, for a last look at the old place and found that the new owner had discovered oil!
「讀書(shū)筆記」
機(jī)會(huì)似乎從來(lái)不會(huì)在我們需要它時(shí)出現(xiàn)。（Opportunity never seems to be where we want it to be at the time）它總是在別的什么地方"出現(xiàn)".（It always “ appears” to be somewhere else）
看到opportunity很自然就會(huì)想到chance，它們都可以表示“機(jī)會(huì)”，但chance還有“某件事發(fā)生的可能性”的意思，比如：
There's a chance that I'll see him.
我大概能見(jiàn)到他。
然而，（Yet）事實(shí)是十之八九機(jī)會(huì)剛好就在你家的后院。（the truth is that nine out of ten times opportunity is right in your own backyard）
nine out of ten times=nine times out of ten，意思都是almost always，有時(shí)times還可以去掉，比如：
Nine out of ten people agreed with me. 有十分之九的人同意我的意見(jiàn)。（而不是說(shuō)在場(chǎng)的十個(gè)人中九個(gè)人同一我的意見(jiàn)。）
要表達(dá)“十之八九”“幾乎全部”的意思，還有其他說(shuō)法，比如Ten to one和ninety-nine out of a hundred都可以。來(lái)看兩個(gè)例子：
He talks about you ten to one when we have a chitchat.
每次我們閑聊他幾乎都談及你。
Ninety – nine out of a hundred， his comments are not to the point.
他的評(píng)論幾乎全部都是未擊中要害的。
我們像那個(gè)把老家農(nóng)場(chǎng)賣掉的年輕人，（We are like the young man who sold the old family farm）因?yàn)榭床坏綋碛修r(nóng)場(chǎng)有什么前途，（because he could see no future in owning it）他便去闖蕩世界尋找發(fā)財(cái)機(jī)會(huì)。（and wandered the world seeking his fortune）
多年后他回來(lái)了，（Years later he returned）又老又窮，（old and poor）想后看看自己的老家，（for a last look at the old place）卻發(fā)現(xiàn)新的主人在那兒發(fā)現(xiàn)了石油?。╝nd found that the new owner had discovered oil）
「語(yǔ)法小教室」
今天的語(yǔ)法小教室，我們來(lái)講一個(gè)副詞else.
else常用在疑問(wèn)代詞（who/what/why etc.）不定代詞（anything/someone/anywhere etc.）后面，表示“其他、另外”，比如：
I've said I'm sorry. What else can I do?
我已經(jīng)說(shuō)對(duì)不起了，還能做什么？
Do you want anything else to eat?
你想再吃點(diǎn)什么嗎？
今天的基礎(chǔ)英語(yǔ)輕松學(xué)就到這里，我們學(xué)了一個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ)nine out of ten times（十之八九）和副詞else的使用，你都記住了嗎？
我們下次再見(jiàn)！
