(他什麼事都幹得出來。) 此句含有明顯得貶義。此外，作表語時，able接不定式，capable接of. capable還有一意思是“有可能 的”，例如：The car is capable of being repaired .（這輛汽車是有可能修好的。）用於此義時，be capable of 後常接被動語態動名詞或有動作意義的名詞：The situation is capable of improvement .possible 強調客觀可能性，“可能的”程度比probable"大概的，很可能的低一些。

[注意] likely與possible在結構搭配上的區別。Likely可用於下列句型中：1) It is likely that...例如：It is highly likely that he will succeed.（很可能他會成功。）2) think (feel, consider) it likely ...例如：I think it likely that we will ultimately get a certain amount of money.3) be likely to do sth.例如：He is likely to see you again .但下面的句型是錯誤的，It is likely for sb to do sth.所以think it likely for sb. to do sth.也是錯誤的，故本題不能選likely.
