adj.(形容词)

1. possible的基本意思是“可能的”“潜在的”,指某事可能做、可能存在或可能发生,也可指某事可能是真实的、正确的,引申可表示“可接受的”“合适的”。
2. possible还可作“也许的”解,指某事物或大或小、或有或无的、或发生或未发生的可能性,作此解时,只用作表语。
3. possible在句中用作定语时,可前置,也可后置。修饰anything, something, everything, all, every, the only或最高级形容词时常后置。
4. possible可用作先行主语it的表语,后面跟动词不定式或that从句作真实主语。
5. possible是绝对形容词,没有比较级和最高级,也不受very修饰。

adj.(形容词)

as ... as possible, as ... as sb can

这两个短语的意思都是“尽可能地”“尽力地”。前者的语气比后者更有礼貌。例如:

He sat as far away from the others as possible./He sat as far away from the others as he could.他尽可能地和其他人坐得远一些。

possible, likely, probable

这三个词均表示“可能”。

1.probable常指有较大的可能性,表示客观上潜在的可能性,较有根据和充分理由而值得相信的事,意味着经过权衡正反两方面的理由后而相信的事大概会发生的,常译作“很可能”。

2.possible指有可能小,但强调客观上有可能性,且常有可能性较小的暗示。

3.likely作形容词时意为“很可能,大概,也许”,侧重表示从表面迹象看来某人有可能做某事或某事有可能发生。

下面两句意思相同:

Is it possible to rain today?

Is it possible that it will rain today?

今天可能下雨吗?

adj.(形容词)

可能发生…

误 It's possible to happen ...

误 It's possible to be done ...

正 It's possible ...

析 possible本身就意味着that may happen或that can be done,故不能说It's possible to happen...或It's possible to be done...。

他认为她那天有可能回来。

误 He thought it was possible that she should come back that day.

正 He thought it was possible that she would〔might〕 come back that day.

她可能会把我忘了吗?

误 Is it possible that she may have forgotten me?

正 Is it possible that she can have forgotten me?

你不可能需要经济上的援助。

误 It is impossible that you shall need any financial support.

正 It is impossible that you should need any financial support.

析 it is possible that后面通常接will〔shall〕, may, would或might,很少接should或could〔can〕,因为所表示的或者就是事实或者可能性较大。当用于否定句或疑问句时,后面则接should或can/could,对事实或可能性提出质疑或根本不相信。

我会尽快来。

误 I'll come as soon as possibly.

正 I'll come as soon as possible.

析 as...as possible是as...as it is possible缩略形式,只能用形容词possible,不可用副词possibly。

你今晚能来吃饭吗?

误 Are you possible to come to dinner this evening?

正 Is it possible for you to come to dinner this evening?

析 当表示“某人有可能做某事”时,须用It is/was possible for sb to- v 结构,不能用sb is/was possible to- v 结构,即possible不能以人作主语。
