【词汇】“as good as”原来还有这么多意思！

在英语中有一个结构是“as..... as ”,可以翻译为“和...一样”。“as good as”这个短语从字面意思来看，即是“和...一样好”。

但是，在以下短语中，“as good as”却与其本来的意思大相径庭。我们一起来学习一下吧！

Your guess is as good as mine .

Guess 意思为猜测，猜想。这句话的本意为“你的猜想和我一样”。



不过这个习惯用语的意思是 you do not know anymore about a subject than the person that you are talking to .也就是 "我和你一样不知道"、"我和你一样心中无数"。



例句

A: "Where s Mr. Smith?"

B: "Your guess is as good as mine.

He didn t say anything to me."

史密斯先生在哪？

我也不知道，他什么也没和我说。

我们再来拓展两个同义短语来表示“我也不知道”。01

not have a clue

You don t have a clue when

that meeting starts, do you?

你也不知道那场会议什么时候开始，是吗？



02

it beats me

It beats me—I really have no idea

how to get to the library from here.

这可难倒我了-我真不知道从这如何到达图书馆。
