in the cards

If you keep performing at this level, I think a promotion is in the cards.

They've played very well today, but it doesn't look like a championship title is in the cards for this team today.

"in the cards"这个成语来自于塔罗牌占卜（Tarot card reading）。塔罗牌占卜是一种神秘的艺术，最初在15世纪的意大利兴起在。占卜者会通过阅读翻开的塔罗牌来预测一个人的未来，所以每张卡片的出现都代表预示着未来可能发生的事情。

因此，如果一件事情说是“在卡片上（in the cards）”，就意味着根据现在的情况预测，这件事情是有可能发生的，或者说注定会发生的。

to make yourself continue to do // what you are doing / stay where you are // although it is difficult or unpleasant

hold on

If you can just hold on I'll go and get some help.
