the可以省略的,意思或许有些微差别.
chances are (that) 可能 The chances are that…… 很可能牛津词典上是the chances are （that）， 说明that可以省略，没说前面的the省略。不加定冠词的或许用得多一些呢。例句：Chances are that no single baby boomer read every single title on the boomer hit parade.On world markets: The chances are that Japan will fare better in 1997 than last year.
