我们来看看《星际之门亚特兰蒂斯》第一季第一集中的一些句子：

1. Oh, clearly I am overcome with envy.

噢，显然我嫉妒得不得了。

be overcome with sth means to be overpowered or overwhelmed in body or mind, as does liquor, a drug, exertion, or emotion

Dr. McKay说这句话的时候明显带有一种自我解嘲的意味在里面，如果我没记错的话，好像他自己没有古人的基因，无法使用这个古人的控制椅，而Dr. Beckett又不愿意合作，Dr. Weir说他因这个基因的问题而烦恼，所以他说了这样一句话，开玩笑说他非常嫉妒那些有古人基因的人。

Simple sentence, right? Now, let's try to use it.

Mary's grandma passed away yesterday. She was overcome with grief, and almost ate nothing for a whole day.

2. Well, with the amount of power you'll need to make this trek, odds are it'll be one way.

好吧，（你要知道）你们的这次旅途需要大量的能量，很有可能你们就回不来了。

Still remember the expression "chances are ..."? "odds" here means chances, so "odds are ..." means "chances are ...", which means it is likely that (there's no way back).

Ready to use it?

It is cloudy. The odds are that it will rain today.

先写到这儿，明天再继续哈！
