Hello everyone.
The dialogue below is one from example sentences under the entry �should� in an English-Japanese dictionary that I�m using.
A: He might win the game.
B: He should be so lucky.
Does B�s line above make sense? If it does, would you paraphrase it for me?
Best regards,
Fw |

It generally means that whatever preceded the comment is unlikely to happen.
In this example he is unlikely to win the game but if he did it would be due to luck |
