可能近义词

[同义、近义词、词组]难点分析

同义、近义词、词组范围很广,涉及到各种词类,我们在以上有关章节中已谈到这方面的内容,这里我们

仅举数例同义、近义词、词组的辨析。

,probable,possible

1)likely意为"很可能的";probable一般指有"较大的可能";possible仅指"有可能",不管可能性大小。例

如:Hilectionispossible,butnotprobable.(他有可能当选,但是可能性不大。)Thepoliceconcludedthat

theprobable(notpossi-ble)cauofthefirehadbeenacigarettebutt.(警察得出结论,火灾很可能是由烟蒂

引起的。)Sheislikelytosucceed.(她很可能成功。)

2)likely之后常跟不定式,也可接从句,而probable之后通常接从句,不跟不定式。possible作表语时,

主语用it,或something,一般不用人作主语。例如:

Heislikelytocome.

Itislikelythathewillcome.

ItispossiblethatImightbeofsomeuinthatpartofthework.

注意以下句型:Itislikely/probable+thatclausb./sth.+be+likely+不定式

3)likely,probably,possibly作副词时,含义和用法略有不同,likely多和most或very连

用;probably=mostlikely,意为"很可能"。Hemaypossiblysucceed.(他或许会成功。)含有"不会成功"的意味

较多。

,missing,gone

1)lost用于修饰物时是"丢失了的"之意。例如:alostpen,one'slostyouth;用于修饰人时是"迷途的"之

意。例如:alostchild

2)missing有"失踪的,行踪不明的"之意,因此,"小孩失踪"应用missing。修饰物时,意为"缺少的,不在的"。

例如:

Thereisapagemissingfromthisbook.

3)gone意为"离开的"。例如:Heisgone.也可作"丧失的,用光的"解。例如:
