holdの使い方

I don't know what the future will holdのholdは,non-nativeである私たちにはなかなか使えないのではないでしょうか。英語は無生物主語を取れますが,人ではなく未来自身がholdするなんて,日本よりluckの存在意義が大きい英語圏ならではの表現方法ですね。(Sugiuchi)
On Lampard, Di Matteo added: "I am not surprised other managers like him, but we are very happy Frank is in our team. He is a fantastic player and has been for season after season for many many years, for club and country.
"I can't see him leaving this club. He has been here for ten years and he is part of the successful history of this club. I don't know what the future will hold, but at the moment I can't see him going anywhere. He is part of our plans and he will be very important for us."
