"odds" in Chinese (Simplified)

可能性几率

Definition

某件事发生的可能性，尤其用于有风险、运气或不确定性的情况。它常用来比较一种结果相对于另一种结果有多大机会发生。

常见于 'the odds of'、'the odds are' 和 'against all odds' 这些表达中。日常英语里，'odds' 通常表示可能性；在博彩语境中，它也可以指赔率这样的数字比率。不要和表示“奇怪的”的 'odd' 混淆。

今天下雨的**可能性**很大。

**形势**对我们不利。

尽管困难重重，她受伤后还是完成了比赛。

The odds are we won't get there before dark.

我们很**可能**天黑前到不了那里。

If I had to guess, I'd say the odds are about fifty-fifty.

如果让我猜，我会说**几率**大概是一半一半。
