回复 186楼noshock的帖子你说probable 和 possible吗?Plausible 意思是,听起来有道理、服人、可信,跟“可能性”只有一点点关系

英语教师(本人不是)的典型回答如下:
Plausible v.s. Possible
The word "possible" doesn't really imply "truth" or "certainty" at all. It gives a stronger sense of doubt and skepticism than that. However, "plausible" doesn't imply that doubt.
For example...
It's possible that you are correct = I don't know if you are correct, but you might be.
It's plausible that you are correct = It's reasonable to think that you are correct, so you probably are.
