Catch
1、領(lǐng)會，領(lǐng)悟，理解；聽懂：

你聽明白我的意思了嗎?
2、[口語]看到；聽清；嗅到：
I didn't catch what the chairman said.
我沒聽清主席說的話。
Did you happen to 你是否、你碰巧、你有沒有
=Did you by chance
Do you happen to know… 的意思是“你碰巧知道……”嗎？其實，它是口語中一句委婉表達，用于客氣地打聽情況，比用 Could you tell me……? 更委婉。如：
Do you happen to know her telephone number?
你知道她的電話號碼嗎?
A：Excuse me, but do you happen to know where the railway station is?
對不起，請問知道火車站在哪兒嗎?
B：I’m sorry. I’m a stranger here.
對不起，我對這兒不熟。
A：Do you happen to know her telephone number?
你知道她的電話號碼嗎?
B：Sorry, I don’t know. 對不起，我不知道。
以下各句中用 happen to do sth 也是為了使語氣委婉：
You don’t happen to be free tonight, do you?
你今晚大概沒空，是吧?
If you happen to see Joan, ask her to phone me.
你要是見到瓊，讓她給我打電話?！ ?/p>
If you happen to be in town, would you ask about it?
你要是有機會進城，可否問問此事?
