Weather Forecast

發佈時間: 2013/09/23

天兔出沒注意!請密切留意天氣預測(weather forecast)。

字首fore-解「前面、之前」,例如forehead(前額)、foresee(預知)和foreword(序).Forecast則解「預測」,Weather forecast(天氣預測)、growth forecast(增長預測))和sales forecast(銷售預測)均不是憑空猜測,而是有根有據。

要表達那時、那裏的天氣預測,forecast常接介詞for,例句:Plenty of sunshine is forecast for the weekend.(預測周末陽光充沛。)

用主動句說誰預測甚麼,forecast一字可後接名詞或子句(clause),例如:The Observatory forecast heavy rain in most areas.(天文台預測大部分地區有大雨。);The government forecast that the city's population will grow by 10%in the next 20 years.(政府預測未來20年,城市人口將增長10%.)
