<< review queue entry 36747 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Additional sense for constructions like 让人始料未及 "surprised by a turn of events": (1) 伦敦的时装商店也从人们对学生时代的怀旧情节中受益，百褶裙和束腰无袖老式外衣会令的受欢迎程度让人始料未及。 (2) 这只狗在我们生活中，占据了一块很大的地方，这是我始料未及的。 (3) 報載一位六十多歲的老婦人，因不願意接受次子過世後遺留下來的非婚生子，在確認身份的訴訟中，竟提供長子的檢體 與小孩鑑定比對，企圖否認親子關 係；自認從一而終的女方無法接受比對結果，調查局鑑識人員再度以老婦次子生前的 癌組織切片進行比對，結果證明孩子的確是其次子的骨肉，反倒老婦人 的兩個兒子卻「同母異父」，意外地揭露了老婦 人三十多年前的一段婚外情，讓她始料未及。 Newspapers reported the travails of a woman in her sixties who was not willing to recognize the illegitimate child of her deceased second son. In the court case to determine the child's parentage, she provided a DNA specimen from her first son to match against the child's, in an attempt to disprove a familial relationship. Convinced she was in right, the child's mother refused to accept the test result. Forensics experts from the Bureau of Investigation repeated the analysis using a cancer biopsy taken from the second son before his death. The new results showed that the child's father was indeed the woman's second son--and that her two sons had been fathered by different men, revealing an extramarital affair that the woman had had more than 30 years before. |
