同近义词辨析

possible, probable, likely

possible 强调客观上可能性，但常带有“实际可能性很小”的暗示。如：It’s possible, though not probable, that he will accept these terms. (他有可能接受这些条件，但希望很小。)

probable 很可能的，大概的，语气较possible强。如：It is probable that the cost will be greater than we think.(花费很可能比我们料想的要多。)

likely 暗示从表面迹象来判断“有可能的”。如：It is likely that he will come.(他多半会来。)

possible, feasible, practicable

这组词都有“可行的”的意思，其区别是：

possible多用来消除对某事的怀疑，侧重从客观上看有存在或发生的可能。

feasible指完全可行，切实可行，强调成功的较大可能性。

practicable强调经过证明是有效的，合乎实际，行得通的。
