每日一词学英语(130): hold out

Twitter歌剧上演。I wasn't holding out much hope for Twitterdammerung: the Twitter Opera. (From Telegraph, 5 September, 2009: First Twitter opera given premier) 作者并没抱多大希望。

hold out sth: to offer a chance, hope or possibility of sth.
*Doctors hold out little hope of her recovering.

hold out有多种意思,今天讲的是它与hope搭配,表示“给予(希望)”。

旁白:本博Alexa全球排名首次突破600万,最新排名566.3368万(September 5, 2009)。
