词组 supposed to
释义 supposed to
      Supposed to is indistinguishable in speech from suppose to—the d is not pronounced. For this reason the unwary sometimes omit it in writing as well. Many commentators warn against this error, and we imagine that its occurrence in casual writing is not rare, but we have only one example of it from a published source:
      "He's suppose to make us respect our city's Finest " —Media & Methods, November 1968
      Even here, it is likely that the d was deliberately omitted to suggest nonstandard speech (somewhat pointlessly, since, as noted above, suppose to and supposed to sound alike when spoken). See also used to, use to.
