(单词翻译:单击)
possibly; probably; perhaps; maybe
这几个副词都有“可能”的意思,用法如下:
possible“或许;也许”,所指的可能性较小,为加强语气,可与can或could连用;与may连用,表示的可能性更小。例如:
It may possibly be true.也许是真的。
Please call me as soon as you possibly can.请尽快给我打电话。
Could you possibly tell me the answer﹖你能告诉我这个答案吗?
probably“很有可能;十之八九”,其语义较强,可能性较大。在否定句中,probably不能紧跟在否定词之后。例如:
It will probably be fine tomorrow.明天大概会是晴天。
译:她大概不会来这里。
正:Probably she won’t come here.
正:She probably won’t come here.
正:She won’t come here probably.
误:She won’t probably come here.
perhaps“或许”,含有“可能这样,也可能不这样”之意,其含义和用法与maybe一样,多用于口语。maybe多用于美国英语。在这几个单词中,语义最强的是probably,其次是perhaps和maybe,最弱的是possibly。例如:
Perhaps we will be late for work.或许我们上班会迟到。
Perhaps we’d better take a bus.也许我们最好乘公共汽车。
