One Chinese Sentence Every Day(2)

[William Jia]

不出……所料。

Bù chū suǒ liào.
as sb. expected; not unexpected

 

用法说明

“不出……所料” 是表示事情的结果跟某人所猜测的一致，中间一般接指人名词或代词。这个短句前面一般可以用副词修饰用来强调，如“果然”等。

“不出sb所料”indicates the fact is as the same as what someone has speculated. The prouns or personal nouns are usually in the middle of the sentence. Some adverbials are before it can emphasize, such as “果然“and so on.
