'Anyone’s guess' có từ guess nghĩa là đoán. Thành ngữ này có nghĩa là một điều gì mà không ai biết chắc chắn.

Ví dụ
“After 30 years, my uncle had to close his construction company because there wasn’t enough business. I really feel badly for him. He’s almost 65 years old and had bills to pay. My aunt’s poor health doesn’t allow her to work anymore. It’s anyone’s guess (Không ai biết chắc) how he’s going to survive.”

“The sports stadium downtown has been abandoned for years. So far, no developers have made any offers to buy it. Whether (Không ai biết chắc là liệu rồi đây) it will eventually be renovated (tu bổ lại) or torn down or turned into something completely different like a night club or shopping center is anyone’s guess. At this point, there hasn’t been any clue as to what might be its future.”
