我们队有希望赢得这场比赛并得块奖牌。
“We are sure that we can finish the task in a day or two” they said hopefully.
他们倍心十足地说：“我们肯定能在一两天内完成这项任务。
hopefully在本句中是美国口语的用法，意思是It is hoped that…。
b）句中的turn out是一个多意词组，它的语义要根据上下文来决定，可以作“结果是……”解，也可以作“最后情况是……”解。例如：

I seldom go out on Sundays. 星期日我很少外出。
We seldom see him do his homework when he is at school.
我们很少看见他在学校做作业。
seldom视为否定词，因此句子一般被视为否定句，若后面跟反意疑问句时，应用肯定式。例如：

他的妻子很少花钱买衣服，是吗？
注意：类似的词还有hardly, rarely, never等。
b）句中的difficulty为可数名词，作“难事”、“难做的事”解，但在句型 “have difficulty (in) doing sth.中，difficulty是不可数名词，意思是“困难”、“艰难”、“费力”解。例如：
