guess
1.I guess是美国英语,作“我想”或“我以为”解,用来使语气婉转些,如I guess he cannot do it比He cannot do it婉转。
2.guess有时作“猜”解,不一定猜着,后面加上了at便含有“猜猜看”的意思,如I cannot even guess (at) his age和I can only guess (at) the height of the pagoda。但guess用在answer, riddle, thought等词的前面作“猜着”解。例如:She guessed the right answer at once. He failed to guess the riddle. 和I am sure I can guess your thoughts.
