记忆方法
解释:为何poss是能够的意思?因为poss=pass=通过。你通过,你成功一件事情了,说明你具有这种能力,你能够达成一件事情,从而引申能、能够。
末尾的ibility是名词后缀,表示能够和可能的一种名词概念。
双解例句
小知识
If something could realistically happen, it's a possibility. So winning the lottery is a slight possibility, but becoming king of the world is not even a remote possibility.
In one sense, a possibility is an option: “One possibility is that the UFO is just a shooting star.” It can also mean more of a potential: “This house might look like an abandoned shack, but it's got so much possibility!” All meanings of possibility share the sense that something is able to happen, or is possible. The Latin root is possibilis, “that can be done.”
