英语中有很多“熟词偏义”的表达，似乎每个单词都知道，不知道连在一起是什么意思！

    比如我们今天要学的几个短语，看起来很简单，不要理解错了哦！

    一、 you never know

    意思是：世事难料；

    很难说;

    可以理解为

    you can never be certain;

    it's impossible to predict.

    【解释】

    You say "You never know" or

    "One never knows" to indicate ，

    that it is not definite or certain what will ，

    happen in the future,

    and to suggest that there is some hope，

    that things will turn out well.

    Don’t throw away those old stamps.

    You never know,

    they might be valuable one day.

    不要把那些旧邮票扔掉。

    谁知道呢，

    也许有一天它们会很值钱。

    I know you don't think your grades are good ，

    enough to be accepted,

    but you never know,

    maybe they'll be really impressed by your application essay.

    我知道你认为你的成绩不足以被录取，

    但很难说，

    也许他们真的会对你的申请文章印象深刻。

    二、God knows

    还有类似的表达：Heaven knows

    goodness knows

    有两层意思：

    （1）只有天知道，相当于

    No one knows (except for God/Heaven/Goodness).

    （2）老天爷知道某事是真的，

    相当于God/Heaven/goodness knows it is absolutely true,

    certain, or obvious that...

    【解释】

    1.People use expressions such as goodness knows,

    Heaven knows, and God knows ，

    when they do not know something ，

    and want to suggest that nobody ，

    could possibly know it.

    2.It is absolutely true, certain,

    or definite that; it is obvious or clear that.

    【例句】

    my application to be processed.

    天知道我的申请处理需要多长时间。

    A: How do you think you did on your exam?

    B: God knows!

    B: 不知道。

    三、 You don't know

    意思是：你想像不出/你不知道

    【解释】

    You can say "You don't know"

    in order to emphasize how strongly you feel about the remark you are going to make.

    【例句】

    it is to speak to somebody from home.

    你不知道跟家里来的人说说话有多好！

    【例句】
