adj.(形容词)

1. impossible的基本意思是“不可能的,办不到的”,修饰人时意为“难对付的”。
2. impossible作表语时常用于以it作形式主语的结构中,用作主语的动词不定式要用主动式。
3. impossible在句中一般作定语或表语,作表语时,其后接介词短语,也可接动词不定式,这时句子主语不是动词不定式的逻辑主语,是其逻辑宾语。
4. impossible作表语作“不可能的,办不到的”解时不能以人作主语。作“难以忍受的,很难对付的”解时可以人作主语。
5. impossible所跟的由that引导的主语从句中谓语动词要用虚拟式,即用动词原形或“should+动词原形”。
6. impossible是表示否定的形容词,如再用否定词修饰,则表示肯定意义。
7. You are impossible的意思是“真拿你没办法”,常用于口语中表示一种亲昵或爱抚的意思。

adj.(形容词)

根本不可能和他共事。

误 It is more impossible than to work with him.

正 It is impossible to work with him.

析 impossible意思为“不可能的”,无比较级和最高级。

今天不会下雨。

误 It is impossible to rain today.

正 It is improbable to rain today.

析 impossible含义是不可能做到的、不具备可能性的。而improbable含有不大可能发生的意思。“天有不测风云”,本句的意思并非指不能下雨,而是并无要下雨的迹象,因此要把impossible改为improbable.

• ☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的impossibilis，意为不可能的，办不到的。
