    You use doubtless你會用 doubtless when you want to say當你想表示 that something is almost certain某件事幾乎是肯定的 — you are very sure你非常確定, or you want to sound sure或是你想聽起來很確定.

    It often sits before the main idea: “Doubtless they will come,” or after the person: “She will doubtless be late.” Though actually, it is not as hard as “no doubt at all.” Speakers often use it when they feel almost sure, or when they want to sound calm and certain, even if a little room for surprise is still there.
