请看下面一题:
I think he is _________ to win, but Im not sure.
A. possible B. likely C. impossible D. certain
从语意上看,D肯定不能选;从英语习惯上看,A和C也不能选(原因见上一题);此题最佳答案为B。请再看几例:
He is likely to arrive a bit late. 他可能会晚到一会儿。
Its likely that he will go abroad. 他可能会出国。
注意:虽然 possible 和 likely 均可表示可能,但两者的搭配是不同的,即可说 someone is likely to do sth,但不能说 someone is possible to do sth。如:
他有可能会同她一道去。
正:He is likely to go with her.
正:Its likely that he will go with her.
误:He is possible to go with her.
正:Its possible that he will go with her.
