Possible表示某事可能发生的可能性。但是potential是指通过一些工作或发展可以成为其他东西的东西,即潜力。也就是说, potential的不同之处在于它需要某种媒介来进行变革或发展,而possible并没有具体说明这种特定的进步。示例: She could possibly win the competition. (她可能会赢得比赛。) 示例: There's potential for her to win if she trains well. (如果训练得好,她有可能获胜。) 示例: What's the possibility of leaving tomorrow? (明天离开的可能性?) 示例: We could potentially leave tomorrow, but we need to finish some work first. (可能明天离开,但还有一些工作要做。)
