高一英語語法慣用法:英語可說someone is possible to do sth嗎
請看下面一題:
I think he is _________ to win, but Im not sure.
A. possible B. likely C. impossible D. certain
從語意上看,D肯定不能選;從英語習慣上看,A和C也不能選(原因見上一題);此題最佳答案為B。請再看幾例:
He is likely to arrive a bit late. 他可能會晚到一會兒。
Its likely that he will go abroad. 他可能會出國。
注意:雖然 possible 和 likely 均可表示可能,但兩者的搭配是不同的,即可說 someone is likely to do sth,但不能說 someone is possible to do sth。如:
他有可能會同她一道去。
正:He is likely to go with her.
正:Its likely that he will go with her.
誤:He is possible to go with her.
正:Its possible that he will go with her.
