二、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(shí)際依據(jù);likely是從外表跡象判斷有可能發(fā)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(zhǔn)來。
She is likely to ring me tonight. 今晚她很可能給我來電話。
(2)possible 不能用人作主語。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 也不能用人作主語。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,也可用物作主語。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(shè)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。

(1)本句是一個復(fù)合句。When I got my master’s degree 為時間狀語從句,修飾主句謂語動詞wanted。wanted和couldn’t find為并列謂語動詞,由并列連詞but連接。where I could use what I had learnt為定語從句,修飾先行詞company。what I had learnt 為賓語從句。
(2)a master’s degree 碩士學(xué)位 a doctor’s degree 博士學(xué)位
a bachelor’s degree 學(xué)士學(xué)位
又如:Master of Arts 文學(xué)碩士 Doctor of Law 法學(xué)博士

(1)此句為復(fù)合句。it為形式賓語,代表that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。
(2)rely on/upon信賴,依賴 eg: He can always be relied upon or help. 他的幫助是永遠(yuǎn)可依賴的。
You may rely on my early arrival. 你放心好了,我會早到的。
