课程摘要
可想而知 means “one can imagine.” It is used after context that makes a degree, difficulty, or result easy to infer.
This idiom often follows a cause or situation and comments on the resulting degree: 多累, 多难, 压力之大. It is not the same as 可见, which draws a logical conclusion. 可想而知 stresses imagination from circumstances.
