詞義辨析

adv.(副詞)

perhaps, maybe, possibly, probably

這四個(gè)詞都有“可能,或許”的意思。其區(qū)別是：

1.probably指“多半”,其可能性超過一半; perhaps和maybe指“或許”,其可能性大致為一半; possibly僅指“也許”“有可能”,其可能性低于一半。例如:

Probably he will succeed.他很可能會(huì)成功。

Perhaps〔maybe〕 he will succeed.他也許會(huì)成功。

He will possibly succeed.他有可能成功。

2.maybe比perhaps更口語化,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可用于禮貌的建議或請求,另三個(gè)詞無此義。例如:

Maybe you could move the chair.也許你可以挪動(dòng)一下那張椅子。

Could you possibly lend me 1000 yuan ?你能借給我1000元錢嗎?

perhaps在句中的位置不同,句子的含義也不同,試比較：

maybe perhaps possibly probably
