老师好！我想问一下odds什么时候用作单数，什么时候用作复数？

odd除了可以做名词以外,还可以做形容词;而odds只有名词词性,这是在词性上的差别。

在词义上,odd有“古怪的、奇数的、零散的”等含义,而odds则表示“希望,可能性;几率,胜算;逆境”等含义。

1.古怪的

His behavior is odd.

他的行为古怪。

2.奇数的

5 is an odd number.

5是一个奇数。

3.零散的

He has worked many odd jobs.

他已经打过很多零工了。

odds的含义如下:

可能性;概率

Do you know the odds of winning this game?

你知道赢得这场比赛的可能性有多大吗?

odds 有四个常用的短语:

1. at odds (与某人不合)

He is at odds with me.

他与我不合。

2. the odds are against(某人或某事成功的可能性不大)

I think the odds are against his plan.

我认为他的计划不大可能成功。

3. against all odds(困难重重,但也发生或成功了)

在这里引用Phil Collins(菲尔•柯林斯)那首经典歌曲中的一句:

You coming back to me is against all odds.

尽管困难重重,你仍然回到我身边。

4. odds and ends(零星物品)

She packed everything in a box except some odds and ends.

除了一些零星物品,她把所有东西都装在了盒子里。

“at odds”的用法问题~

"** is at odds (with ** over sth)" means there is a big difference between each other.当两个人或双方意见不一致，有矛盾的时候，我们说Those two are at odds.At odds这个词组，用英文解释就是"in disagreement"。

He's always at odds with his father over politics.

在政治上他总和父亲意见不一.

另外一个由"odds"组成的常用短语是"odds and ends"，我们可以用这个短语来形容"零碎的东西，零星杂物"(**all articles of various kinds, without much value)。
