--could we put off the sports meet?____.This is the only day everyone is available.
1.not likely
2.not exactly
3.not nearly
4.not really
why?
答
Not really.
2和3完全不搭边;至于not likely,我只是觉得不合语感,如果是沟通,老外一定也听得懂; not really稍为委婉一点,符合西方人说话方式.中国学校的选择题就是把活生生的语言给死化了,所以你只能选一个not really;
下边是某些教科书的解释,这种解释我觉得很生硬,
not likely是“才不呢,绝对不可能,”表示强烈反对或某事不会发生,
not exactly“不完全如此,并没有,根本不”;
not nearly“远非,远不及”
not really “不太可能”
