用法讲解
adv. (副词)
- possibly的基本意思是“可能地”,这词表示对某事不敢肯定或知道得不太清楚,多用于肯定句; 有时还作“无论如何”“不管怎样”“万万”解,多用于否定句。
- possibly还可作“也许”“或许”解,也可指用来表示非常有礼貌地请别人做某事,提出要求。
- possibly在肯定句里多与may或will连用,在疑问句和否定句中多与can连用。
- possibly是强化副词,没有比较等级。
adv. (副词)
- possibly, maybe, perhaps, probably
-
- 这四个词都有“可能,或许”的意思。其区别是：
- 1.probably指“多半”,其可能性超过一半; perhaps和maybe指“或许”,其可能性大致为一半; possibly仅指“也许”“有可能”,其可能性低于一半。例如:
- Probably he will succeed.他很可能会成功。
- Perhaps〔maybe〕 he will succeed.他也许会成功。
- He will possibly succeed.他有可能成功。
- 2.maybe比perhaps更口语化,且要用于句首; perhaps可用于句末、句中、句首; probably多用于句中。
- 3.maybe和possibly可用于礼貌的建议或请求,另三个词无此义。例如:
- Maybe you could move the chair.也许你可以挪动一下那张椅子。
- Could you possibly lend me 1000 yuan ?你能借给我1000元钱吗?
- 下面两句意思不同:
-
- They can't possibly come today.
- 他们今天不可能来。
- They can't, possibly, come today.
- 他们今天也许不能来。
- maybe，perhaps，possibly，probably
-
- 这些副词均有“或许、大概”之意。
- maybe普通用词，美国英语多用，指某事也许如此，含不能确定意味。
- perhaps普通用词，多用于英国，与maybe同义。
- possibly指客观上潜存着发生某种变化的可能。
- probably一般指根据逻辑推理，估计有发生的可能，把握性较大，语气比possibly强。
