释义
v.
To think that something is probably true; to assume
假设，认为，料想
v.
To be expected or required to (be supposed to)
应该，理应（be supposed to）
词根拆分
词根派生sup-（sub- 的变体，"在下面"）+ pose（放置）="放在下面"。当你 suppose 某事时，你把一个假设垫在推理底下作为根基——在往下论证之前先"垫上"它。
词根 pos 还连着 66 个词使用指南
- I suppose = 软化的"我想/我猜"（常是勉强同意）。
- be supposed to = 应该/被要求，或据说：You're supposed to wear a helmet（你应该戴头盔）；It's supposed to be a great film（据说是部好电影）。其中 /d/ 常弱读，连入下一个词。
- suppose / supposing (that) 可引出假设，相当于"要是……"。
