2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）
我们很熟悉“judge”可以作为名词表示“法官”，作为动词表示“评定”“判断”。今天我们学习一个它的常见搭配用法 judging by/from，是一个在写作和口语中都非常实用的表达。judging by/from 表示“根据…判断”，如它的英文释义所示，当我们在阐述为什么有某个观点时，就可以用到它。
注意：judging 后面可以接 by 也可以接 from，两者没有什么区别，更多是个人偏好。
美剧《别对我说谎》（Lie to Me）中，心理学家擅长透过人体的肢体语言，特别是面部的“微表情”来判断对方是否在撒谎。我们想表达“从他的面部表情和肢体语言可以判定他在说谎”，就可说成：
Judging by/from his facial expressions and body language, he’s lying.
我们常常因为看了一部电影的预告片而决定去看这部电影。当我们想说，从预告片来看这部电影值得一看，就可以说：
