[ˌpɒsəˈbɪləti] n.

其中一个方法(one possibility)

possibility语境含义

英语中很多抽象名词可充当具体名词使用,如entertainment, competition等。possibility除了表示“可能性”外,还可以表示“可能的方法;选择”。比如,给学生提供的各种选择,a range of possibilities offered to students; 降低成本的方法, possibilities of reduce costs等。写作中,谈到解决问题时我们可使用possibility这个词汇。

雅思话题及运用

1 犯罪与惩罚

谈到青少年犯罪时,若想表达:打击青少年犯罪可以有多种方法。其中一种时常被提及的方法就是建立更加严格的惩罚制度以防止青少年走上犯罪的道路。

英语可以表述为:There are a variety of potential ways of combating youth crime. One possibility that is sometimes suggested is a much stricter system of penalties and punishments to deter young people from a life of crime.

2 教育

谈到读书,若想表达:认为书籍过时了的理由并不明显。之所以这样认为可能是现在以读书为乐的人少了,人们更喜欢现代科技带来的即时满足感和兴奋感。

英语可以表述为:It is perhaps less obvious why books are said to be out of fashion. One possibility is that fewer people choose to read for pleasure nowadays because they prefer the instant gratification and thrills of modern technology.

3 房屋建筑

谈到历史建筑,若想表达:可能没有任何一个方法可以确保历史建筑得到保护。不过,可能采取的措施之一是由市政规划部门罗列出那些他们认为具有历史意义的建筑,并避免对它们作出任何改变。另一种方法是为了后代,至少要保证这些建筑物的外观不会受到破坏。

英语可以表述为:There is probably no solution to ensure that these buildings are preserved. One possible step though would be for the civic planning authorities to list certain buildings that they consider historic and prevent any alterations being made to them. Another possibility would be to ensure that at least the facades of these buildings were preserved for posterity.
