10. be likely to do sth.很可能；有希望做….

likely 强调表面上看来有可能，与 probable 意思接近，有时可以互换，但 likely 常暗示从表面迹象来判断。常用句型：

sth./ sb. is likely to do sth. 某人可能做某事

(不能说It is likely for sb. to do sth.)

It is likely that…有可能.....

not likely (坚决不同意)绝不可能，绝对不会

【注意】likely做副词的时候多和most, very连用。

辨析：likely; probable; possible

1) probable 表示有几分根据的推测，比 possible 表示的可能性大。probable 不能是人作主语，只能用It is probable for sb sto do sth. It is probable that …“有可能…. ”。

2) 表示客观上潜在的可能性，也许实际发生的可能性并不大。possible不能用人作主语，可用于两种句型：

It is possible for sb to do sth. 某人可能做某事;

It is possible that …“有可能…. ”。

sth. is possible

as quickly/much/soon...as possible

(2)本句后半句是nor引起的倒装句，nor位于句首时，句子需要部分倒装。即把助动词，情态动词，系动词放在主语前面，而真正谓语动词在后面。

归纳拓展：含有否定意义的词置于句首往往引起部分倒装：①含有否定意义的副词放在句首，如：not, never, seldom, hardly, rarely, little 等. ②含有否定意义的连词置于句首，如： neither...nor, no sooner...than..., scarcely...when..., hardly...when...等。③含有否定意义的介词短语置于句首，如： by no means, in no time, in no case, on no account等.【直击高考】1.
