英語(yǔ)中“可能”的幾種用法

字號(hào):

句子:我們學(xué)英語(yǔ)時(shí)很可能犯錯(cuò)。
    誤譯:We are probable to make mistakes when we learn English.
    正譯:1、It is probable/Likely that we will make mistakes when we learn English.
    2、Probably/Likely,we'll make mistakes when we study English.
    3、We are likely to make mistakes when learning English.
    解釋?zhuān)河⒄Z(yǔ)表示“非??赡堋薄ⅰ笆邪司拧钡纫馑?,可用probable/probably或likely。注意,likely既是形容詞也是副詞。probable只能用在It is probable that的句型中,而不能說(shuō)We are probable to do sth。但likely既可用在It is likely that……,也可用在We are likely to do sth的句型中。
    例如:
    1、他很可能是忘了。It is probable tha the for got.
    2、他或許沒(méi)聽(tīng)懂我的話。Probably,hedidn't catch my meaning.
    3、她很可能被雨淋透了。It is likely that she got so aked through in the rain.
    注意:possible的概率小于probable,就像漢語(yǔ)中的“可能”、“大概”。possible同樣也只能用于It is possible(for sb)to do sth的句型。
    例如:
    4、這事多半如此,不只是可能。It's probable,not only possible.
