中国人常说，人生不如意之事“十之八九”，咱们要学会平常心面临日子。“十之八九”，亦作“十有八九”，常常用作润饰的成分，字面意思是“nine times out of ten”，比方绝大多数，有极大的可能性（very likely），与英语短语“ten to one”意思相同，表明“it is very likely that...; very probably”。

例句：

他们十有八九会输。

Ten to one they'll lose.

没有人切当地知道他们将怎么样处理这些出售问题，但十有八九是由职工来承当价值。

No one knows for sure how they're going to deal with these sales issues, but ten to one it's the employees who have to suffer the cost.
