重点解说：

★ root for ~ 是「为~加油」的意思，也可用cheer for ~, cheer on ~, pull for ~等语。

★ be likely to ~「有可能~」此语用于预测一种可能发生的状况。It is likely that Jim will quit the job.「吉姆有可能辞职不干。」这句话可以改写成"Jim is likely to quit the job." It seems ~, It appears ~, It looks (like) ~ 等的意思是「似乎~，好像~」，所以也可用来预想某种可能的状况，如It seems that Mary will win the game. = Mary seems to win the game.「玛丽似乎会赢得比赛。」此外，类似的表达法 还有Chances are (that) ~「很有可能~」一语，Chances are (that) the company will withdraw from the project.「该公司很有可能取消这项计划。」在口语中Fat chance! 的意思是「哪有可能！」

★sh 一语用于请人不要作声。
