句型解剖:sb’s chances of doing sth are good 某人做某事的可能性很大
该例句的后半部分,即“that引导的宾语从句部分,意思就是:他能离开医院回去过新年的可能性很大。其中“chances一词解释为“可能性;很有可能发生的事情,一般作复数。而句末的“good是修饰“chances一词,在这里作表语,引申为“(可能性)很大;如果是“可能性不大可以把“good 改成“remote或者是“slim。整个短语还能变形为:The chances that ……are good. 或者The chances are good that…… (其中that引导的是“chances一词的同位语从句)。
另外再补充些有关“chance作为“可能性的短语:
There is a chance of / that ……. 某事很有可能
There is a remote chance of / that……. 某事不大有可能
Chances are that……某事发生很有可能
The chances are ten to one that 事情十有八九会……
sb have a chance of doing sth 某人很有可能做某事
sb have no chance of doing sth 某人不大有可能做某事
sb’s chances of…… are greatly improved / increased某人做某事的可能性大大地增加了
