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

A: There is a common phrase that says "hindsight is 20/20". 20/20 is the perfect vision that human eyes can have. Hindsight means looking back at the past. The phrase means that when you look back at the past, there are always things you wish you could've done better since you now know more than you did back then.

"Hindsight is anything but 20/20" means that this person disagrees with the above phrase.

A: Hindsight is 20/20 is a proverb that refers to having a good understanding of what they should have done for a past event only AFTER it has happened. It's usually used when a person makes a decision they later regret because of the consequences.

Hindsight = Looking back
20/20 = perfect vision

It does not mean predicting the future.

e.g.
A: "I shouldn't have cheated on the math test! My teacher called my parents and I'm stuck with detention for 2 weeks."
B: "Hindsight's always 20/20. Don't do it again next time."

其實基本意思大概就是說，人只有在事情發生後才明白應該怎麼處理/解決一件事。因為事情發生前人沒有能力看透一切嘛，事情發生後才知道哪裡做對，哪裡做錯。希望這個解釋對你有幫助！

A: This is not something that you saw happening in the future based upon the past

A: hindsight= when you understand something after it happens.

for example: if you were wondering why someone yelled at you, only to find out they had lost their pet dog the day before.

“i wish i knew about her dog in hindsight, i wouldn’t of got angry that she yelled.”

A: It means that it is easy to know the right thing to do after it has happened, but hard to know before( hard to predict the future)

hindsight = thinking back on something after it has happened
20/20 = when someone has perfect vision

A: "Hindsight is 20/20" is an expression someone would say when thinking on something they regret. Like, "My grandmother died, I should have spent more time with her when she was alive. Hindsight is 20/20." It means you can only see things clearly after they have passed.

A: Hindsight is most commonly used in a sentence such as:

'In hindsight, that was probably a bad move.'

Or 'In hindsight, I should have replied sooner'

A: This expression is used when you realize your mistake after you have already finished the task.
example. The paint on your black car is cracking. Someone says well you should have been waxing it.
it would be okay to say "well hindsight is 20/20"

anything that is done wrong then realize why after it is completed and pretty much unfixable, use this phrase

A: There aren't too many expressions with this word because it's used pretty consistently in the same ways.

Examples:

"In hindsight, the plan could have gone better."

"We look back on those days with perfect hindsight."

It's pretty difficult to use this word incorrectly hehe. Yes, you can replace it with"in retrospect" when you start the sentence, but it cannot replace the noun itself.

You can say:
"In retrospect, the plan could have gone better."

but

"We look back on those days with perfect retrospect," sounds a bit weird

A: In hindsight I probably should have just stayed home

An expression: "hindsight is 20/20" (this means that when you look back on something you will always be able to say what should have been done differently)

A: yes, you can use either one you like. They are both correct and natural, and they both mean the same thing.

A: Hindsight is when you gain understanding of a situation only after it as occurred.

Eg: In hindsight, it would have been better to buy the tickets earlier.

An afterthought is exactly that: a thought that comes after something has passed and is often of lesser consequence.

Eg: She began to walk away, only to turn around and say goodbye as an afterthought. (I don’t know if this is good, maybe look up some more online!)

Second guessing is when you take a decision and then question it once you start following it through. It can also mean to criticise someone after a decision has been made and the outcome is known.

Eg: Instead if second guessing his plan, maybe you should have contributed more when we were discussing it together.

A: I was going to enter a hotdog eating contest, but on reflecting of all the things that could go wrong, I didn't.

I entered a hotdog eating contest and vomited everywhere, in hindsight it was a bad idea.

A: "Hindsight" is usually used when someone is wiser than they were in the past, and they realize something they didn't realize then.
"Retrospect" is usually used when one is thinking about or analyzing something in the past.

A: In hindsight and in retrospect share the same meaning. It is when you think back about something in the past.

"In hindsight, I really should have studied harder for my exams"
"In retrospect, I really should have studied harder for my exams"

A: "hindsight" I believe comes from hind (behind) and sight (to see). When you put them together it means to see behind. It is used to refer to "looking at the past". "Hindsight is a wonderful thing", means "the ability to know and understand what happened is a wonderful thing"

A: × Then hindsight, I realized that those were all triggered by emotions.
✓ In hindsight, I realized that those were all triggered by emotions.

× I’m not a robot so I can’t just be “onto next’ but I had broken out from that mindset that two people will be together forever.
✓ I’m not a robot so I can’t just be “onto the next one" but I had broken out from that mindset that two people will be together forever.

× There are some reasons that things can not work out even though you try the best.

Wow, really well written Rory!! So impressed with how much you've improved!!

A: Yes! Actually, someone said it to me a few days ago at work. "Okay, well, in hindsight, I probably shouldn't have said that."

A: "In hindsight, having a lot of work during the Corona period was kind of lucky to me in the sense that I'm caught up finally. It also might have been really tempting to hang out if I had had the time."
I corrected your sentence to what I think you’re describing. I hope I was right 😬. Also had had is grammatically correct even though it looks odd.

A: You use "in hindsight" as if to say "looking back" (usually about a decision that you made). Examples:

-In hindsight, buying a 70 inch TV might have been a bad idea.

-In hindsight, I would have ordered a large popcorn.
