昨天是我们的外教Tony的生日，我们几个要好的同事商量着要给他办个惊喜Party，于是下班后大家就找了个借口硬拉着Tony不让他回家，没想到大家蹩脚的演技被他识破了，张嘴就来了一句:"What's in store this time?"......不明白的会计小刘又发问了:"这老外没头没脑地提什么商店啊？难道他知道我们要给他买礼物吗？" 呵呵，说到这儿大家肯定也都猜到了，这里老外所说的"in store"可不是我们以前在外国街头常看到的"in-store", 可别小看了中间的那一道横杆儿，两个词儿的意思可是千差万别呢！
"in-store"的意思是"在店内或店内专柜"，就像" Ask in-store for details"是"详情店内咨询"；"an in-store bakery/café"是"店内面包房／咖啡馆"。而"in store"则是"什么事儿将要发生"和"为将来贮藏准备什么"的意思，所以刚才Tony的那句话的意思是"这次会发生什么事?" 就像那句名言所说的一样: "You never know what's in store for you."~你永远不知道等待你的是什么。
na. 即将发生; 将要发生；准备着; 贮藏着；必将发生; 避免不了
【En】Going to happen soon. 很快就会发生。If something is in store for you, it is going to happen at some time in the future. 如果某事为你准备好了(in store for you)，那么它将在未来的某个时间发生。
得嘞，还是老规矩，先来听几句例子吧，这可都是日常生活中经常能听得到的话哟~
