Most likely he will disagree with you. ???? 2. likely, possible, probable用法辨析:???? 虽然这三个词均可作形容词表示可能的,但其确切含义和具体用法不尽相同。???? ①likely与probable意思相近,有时可以互换,但likely常暗示从表面迹象来判断。如:???? It’s not likely for them to finish the task within a week.???? ②possible强调经过反复权衡后相信某事大概会发生,但也许实际发生可能性并不大。如:????

It is possible that it will rain, but with such a blue sky it doesn’t seem probable.???? 【词条3】connection???? 【点拨】connection为名词,意为联系；关系,连接。如:???? There was no connection between the two events.????
