释义 | possible 1. Possible is sometimes considered to be an absolute adjective. See absolute adjectives. 2.Possible, possibly. Three or four commentators opine that may is redundant with possible or possibly. Our files show such use to be quite rare. Here are two examples to show you how utterly innocuous such co-occurrence is: • The political future of Latin America may quite possibly hinge upon the success ... —Current Biography, October 1964 • ... to see what might possibly work —Noel Farmer, Barnard Alumnae, Winter 1971 What possibly does here is reinforce the modal, underlining its seriousness. There is nothing wrong with such use. The adverb may often be omitted without loss, but need not always be omitted. |
