一、that可以用来表示时间,方式,地点,理由的名词之后,取代when where, why和"介词+
简而言之:that不仅仅是关系代词,同时也可以作关系副词用,可以代替when,where,why。不过这时的先行词只可以是way, time , place等。
二、the odds are that是什么意思
这是英语中(特别是口语)惯用的表达方式,意思是that后面跟的事情或者情况比较有可能发生。
The odds are that he won't come tomorrow. “他明天大概是不会来了。”
类似的表达方式还有Chances are. 上面一句话可以改写为:
Chances are that he won't come tomorrow. 中文意思不变。
