| 用法说明 | Use when suggesting a possibility, but not guaranteed. Casual, often used in conversation or informal writing. | 在讨论概率时使用“likelihood”。它比较中性，适用于学术和日常语境，但在非常随意的谈话中要避免使用。Use 'likelihood' in discussions of probability. It's neutral, suitable for academic and everyday contexts, but avoid it in very casual conversations. | 在正式和非正式场合都可以使用。适合讨论职业机会、事件或可能性。避免在过于随意的场合使用。Used in both formal and informal contexts.
