同、近義詞辨析
1.likely, possible 與probable
(1)三者均表可能性,但意思有別。possible指客觀上有可能性,但往往含有希望很小的意味;probable比possible可能性稍大,有“較為可能、大概”,指有實際依據;likely是從外表跡象判斷有可能發生的事。 eg:
it’s possible, though not probable, that he will come tomorrow. 他明天可能來,但也不一定準來。
she is likely to ring me tonight. 今晚她很可能給我來電話。
(2)possible 不能用人做主語。possible 常用于下列句型:
it is possible to do sth. it is possible for sb. to do sth.
it is possible that … eg:
is it possible to say so?可能這樣說嗎?
it is possible for me to do it. 我可能做那件事。
(3)probable 也不能用人做主語。一般只用于下面句型中:
it is probable that … eg:
it is probable that he will come. 他很可能要來。
(4)likely 既可用人作主語,也可用物做主語。通可用于“it is likely that …”句型中。 eg:
he is likely to come. = it is likely that he will come. 他可能要來。但不能說:it is likely for him to come.
(5)impossible, improbable, unlikely 用法與上述類似。
2.catch, grasp, seize 與snatch
catch是普通用語,用“設法抓住,捉住”的意思; grasp表示牢牢地“抓住”;seize指“突然用力抓住使不逃脫”;snatch 表示迅速的拉扯動作、出其不意地“抓取”。 eg:
the police caught the thief as he ran. 小偷逃跑時被警察抓住了。
he grasped his gun and rushed out. 他抓起槍就沖了出去。
he seized the gun from the enemy soldier. 他從敵人士兵手中奪過了槍。
the thief snatched her handbag and ran off. 小偷搶走了她的手提包就跑了。
