You never know. I have seen upsets in elections before.
这里的 upset 是 "意外的击败" 的意思。而不是" 恶心" 的意思。

  I9 }3 f' h' K2 \9 C1 ~  M: Yeah! It's real lemon. 是的,真是部烂车 ...

你这一句里可能有错误, " a lemon" 是个成语，不能说成　＂lemon".
英语的成语和中文成语很不一样，＂小词＂（a, an, the, 's , ...) 是很重要的．

比如：They work like a dog, 不能说成：They work like dogs.
