(as) often as not

(as) often as not

释义：是不是觉得这个表达很奇葩？其实最完整的说法应该是as often as not often，字面上的意思是频繁和不频繁的时候一半一半。但是实际使用中，已经慢慢变成了“相对频繁”的意思。那么真正的“相对频繁”用英语应该怎么说？答案见下面。

例句：
When we do sleep, we as often as not have nightmares about Jayna's murder.
If he tried to run, often as not he'd trip and fall over.

同义词：more often than not
