今天是美国第81届奥斯卡颁奖礼的日子，不知道在今天的颁奖礼上，会不会有什么冷门片子成为黑马，黑马一词在汉语中已经立住了脚，它是从dark horse引进来的，意思是“爆冷门”，指一件事情的结果大大出于人们的意料之外，使人大吃一惊。如
Every once in a while a dark horse candidate gets elected President.
每过一段时间，就会跳出一匹黑马当选为总统。
然而若是某人的取胜在人们的预料之中，而且最后他也真的大获全胜，就不能称其为dark horse了，而应是shoo-in 如
He had never aeld any public office besides country election commissioner.His opponent in the Republican primaty seemed a shoo-in.
他除了县选举委员外，没做过任何官。共和党初选中他的对手似乎稳操胜券。
那么下面这个句子是什么意思呢？
Chris is a shoo-in to win a scholarship.
就是说：“Chris 准能申请到一份奖学金。”
