In this lesson
這節課
we will be focusing on Intermediate Level
我們主要來講一下中級教程
Modules 9 to 12
第9至第12單元的內容
Today we will start by thinking about making predictions
首先，我們來討論一下"預測"的表達方法
A prediction is a guess about what will happen in the future
"預測"就是對未來將要發生的事情進行猜想
We use the words
人們進行預測時
"will" "won't"
通常都會使用"will" "won't"
"may", "might" and "could"
"may" "might" "could"等詞
For example, "all housework will be done with computers"
例如 "所有家務活都將通過電腦來完成"
Adverbs like "probably", "definitely"
"probably""definitely"
and "certainly" go after "will"
"certainly"等副詞一般都會用在"will"之后
but before "won't"
"won't"之前
"We will probably live in big apartment buildings"
例如 "我們可能將會住在大公寓樓里"
"We certainly won't live underground"
"我們一定不會住地下室"
In predictions, "may" and "might"
在預測時 "may" 和"might"
can be used in the negative form
可用于否定形式
but "could" cannot be used in the negative form
而"could"不能用于否定形式
May not and might not
來看看"may not"和 "might not"的例子
"We may not have cars in twenty years time"
"二十年內我們可能不會有汽車"
We can also say "may well"
如果我們想說某件事很可能會發生時
"might well" and "could well"
我們還可以用"may well" "might well"
if we want to say that something will probably happen
和"could well"等詞來表達
"There may well be no crime
例如 "50年內那里很可能
in 50 years time"
不會再有犯罪活動"
Dialogue 1 will probably have
下面我們來聽聽對話1 在這個對話中

If you listen well, you may well hear some
仔細聽，你就能聽到一些情態動詞
We will all play with one hundred percent
我們將全力以赴
We will definitely destroy the other team
我們一定會摧毀對方
We certainly won't take defeat as an option
我們一定不會輸
Winning will probably come through big hits and sensible decisions
通過這次猛烈攻擊和明智決定可能會獲勝
We may not get another chance
我們可能不會再有其他機會了
grrrrr...
呃……
There may well be two teams on the field today
今天的戰場上很可能會有兩支隊伍
but on the field of victory, there can be only one
但戰場上的勝利者只能有一個
I think we will definitely need to see that again
我想大家肯定需要再看一遍

今天的戰場上很可能會有兩支隊伍
but on the field of victory, there can be only one
但戰場上的勝利者只能有一個
As well as predictions
說到預測
we should also consider hypothetical possibilities with the word "if"
我們還應想到用"if"來表示的假設可能性
A hypothetical possibility is an imaginary situation
假設可能性是一種
that could happen in the future
在將來可能會發生的假想的情境
For this we use "would" or
這時候，我們會用"would"或
"wouldn't" plus the verb
"wouldn't"+動詞的形式
"If I went to Rome, I'd visit the Coloseum"
例如 "如果我去羅馬，就會去參觀角斗場"
Notice that even though we use past forms like "went"
注意，雖然我們使用的"went"一詞是過去式
we're not referring to past time
但該動作并不表示過去發生的
Instead, they refer to a general imaginary time
相反，它們指的是一種假想的情況
Usually, we would use "were"
通常，我們都會用"if"從句
instead of "was" and the "if" clause
并用"were"代替 "was"
"If I were in France
例如 "如果我在法國
I would see the Eiffel Tower"
我就會去看看埃菲爾鐵塔"
"If Anna were in Japan, she would see Mount Fujiyama"
"如果安娜在日本，她就會去看富士山"
"Might" can be used instead of "would"
如果你不確定自己將要做什么
if you're not sure what you would do
那就可以用"might"代替"would"
"I might spend lottery winnings on overseas travel"
例如 "我可能用買彩票贏到的錢來環游世界"
I'm pretty sure
我非常確定
I would spend lottery winnings on overseas travel
我會用買彩票贏到的錢來環游世界
What about you?
你呢？
I wonder
我想知道
what hypothetical possibilities the team have got for us this time
這次這組給我們帶來的假定可能性都有哪些
