prophet n.预言者；先知 (1) 偶尔，那个预言家会纵情于幻想。(2) 先知预言战争将爆发。(3) 先知在自已家乡从来不被认可。(4) 我不是先知，也不是先知的儿子。(5) 他讲起话来像个受到神灵启示的先知。 The future is a foggy mystery, but a prophet sees beyond that fog to speak about what’s to come. A fortune teller is a prophet, and so is a savvy computer designer who knows how technology will change in ten years. Prophet comes from the Greek word for “spokesman,” which explains another definition of prophet: someone who speaks on behalf of God. Prophet is pronounced the same as profit, and some prophets use their talents to earn lots of profit.
