Perguntas sobre exemplo de orações com, e a definição e o uso de "Chances"

A: It's a way of expressing that there is a high probability that something will (or will not) happen.

"Chances are it's going to rain tomorrow."
"Chances are it's not going to happen this year."
"Chances are our team will lose again."

It's pretty informal, but very common.

I hope this helps!

A: Yes, that is basically it. It is similar to "likely" or "probably". For example, "Chances are you don't win" means "It is likely that you will not win".

A: 大概会发生

A: Chances are "small"

Means they'll probably fail

A: Chances are, she already bought that shirt

Chances are, he’s already been fired

Chances are, my friends are throwing me surprise party

Chances are : usually means something is likely to happen but you are not sure

A:
If you mean to start the sentence with ‘chances are’ a few examples would be:

Chances are, it’ll rain tonight.
Chances are, the homework is not due today.
Chances are, she already heard the news.

^ It’s okay to use a comma but it isn’t necessary. Even without the comma, the meanings will stay the same.

A: Chances are its going to rain- grab an umbrella!

Chances are she’s right (you may hear this told to you about someone who is correct about something, but you may be unsure/doubtful)

Chances are kind of means “probably.”

Hope that helps!

A: the phrase "chances are..." indicates a high possibility of something happening..

"chances are we are going to win."

"chances are they are going to lose."

"chances are someone will post a better answer to your question."

A: Both have the same meaning. Like you said, the former sounds more sophisticated.

A: Chances are high that you WILL become homeless in the near future.
Chances are you WILL become homeless in the near future.
The chance of you becoming homeless is high.
So, I'd say they all hold almost the same meaning, just a slight difference is you using 'high' in 1st and 3rd sentence, so the possibility of that happening is a bit stronger. Also you added 'in the near future' in the first 2, while in the 3rd one there is no time mentioned, so it might happen even in far future. Other than that, I would say there is no difference except in the sentence order. Hope it helps 🙃

A: @madoka630
Chances are he has already gotten there.

Chances are it's going to rain soon.
Chances are they've already broken up.
このような例文はいかがでしょうか。
かなり自由に使えると思いますし、意味は全然伝わります。"likely"と同じですから

A: Chance like the chance of something happening. The sentence is saying that there is a higher chance that no one would notice (versus the chance that someone does notice).

The meaning is similar to "It is more likely than not..." or "It's probably true that..."


Maybe 很可能 or 十有八九 but my Chinese is not good enough to really say 😥

A: If I sleep during the daytime, chances are I'll get my days and nights mixed up.

It sounds ok the way you wrote it, but you need to include the part about sleeping in the daytime (for context).

A: Without further ado.

It means "without delay / immediately."

A: Chances are that they were just focusing on another qualification. It’s not because you’re insufficient.

^ I think “focusing on” is more natural and comforting in this case.

A: It sounds more natural if you say "he was in a hurry".

"[The] chances are [that] he left home empty-handed because he was in a hurry."

[ ] = optional (but recommended in formal/written English)
