3. likely/probable/possible

(1)likely 強(qiáng)調(diào)表面上看來有可能,與 probable 意思接近,有時(shí)可以互換,但 likely 常暗示從表面跡象來判斷。常用句型:

①Sth./Sb. be likely to do...

②It is likely that...

(2)probable 表示有幾分根據(jù)的推測(cè),比 possible 表示的可能性大。換句話說,probable的“有可能”,是指有實(shí)際的依據(jù)或邏輯上合乎情理。

常用句型:It is probable that...

(3)possible 表示客觀上潛在的可能性,也許實(shí)際發(fā)生的可能性并不大。

常用句型:

①It is possible (for sb.) to do sth.

②It is possible that...

③sth. is possible

④as quickly/much/soon...as possible
