1、suppose 用法例析suppose 一詞于 15世紀初期進入英語， 直接源自古法語的 supposer ，意為“假設” 。在當代美語語料庫( Corpus ofContemporary American English )的詞頻統(tǒng)計中， suppose 處 于第 21 80 位，是常用英語詞匯。在英國大文豪莎士比亞的悲劇特洛伊勒斯與克芮絲德(Troilus andCressida)中，特洛伊戰(zhàn)爭 (Trojan War) 希臘軍隊統(tǒng)帥阿伽門農(Agamemnon )對希臘王子說道： “ Nor， princes ， is it matter new to us/Thatwe come sh
