CET4TEM8IELTSGRE考研TOEFL中低頻詞常用詞匯
助記提示
1. 正因為是奇數，所以才不平等、不對等，所以才會有幾率、勝算的可能性存在，如果平分秋色的話，就沒有幾率、勝算可言了。

英文詞源
- odds (n.)
- in wagering sense, found first in Shakespeare ("2 Henry IV," 1597), probably from earlier sense of "amount by which one thing exceeds or falls short of another" (1540s), from odd (q.v.), though the sense evolution is uncertain. Until 19c. treated as a singular, though obviously a plural (compare news).
