god only knows
是只有上帝知道的意思么?为什么不是only god knows?
后面没有任何句子了,如果有别的句子很明显是传统的解释:上帝只知道.....我也没必要提问了。
但我说的这个是一个短信缩写GOK=god only knows。
[McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs]
God only knows!
Inf.Only God knows.; No one knows but God.Tom:How long is all this going to take?Alice:God only knows!
Bob:Where are we going to find one hundred thousand dollars?Mary:God only knows!
God knows idiom
Also,goodness knows; heaven knows.
1.Truly,certainly,definitely,as in God knows I need a winter coat.This expression,which originated about 1300 as God wot,does not necessarily imply that God is all-knowing but merely emphasizes the truth of the statement it accompanies.The variants using goodness and heaven are euphemisms that avoid taking God's name in vain.[Second half of 1500s]
2.Also,God only knows.Only God knows,that is,neither I nor anyone else knows,as in God knows where I've stored those photos,or God only knows how many people will join the march.[Second half of 1500s]
