詞語(yǔ)辨析
- 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(guò)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(yǔ)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(qǐng)求,另三個(gè)詞無(wú)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 he will leave for home.
- 也許他要離開(kāi)這里回家去。
- He will perhaps leave for home.
- 他恐怕要離開(kāi)這里回家去。
- He will leave,perhaps for home.
- 他要離開(kāi)這里,恐怕是要回家去。
- He will leave for home,perhaps.
- 恐怕他要離開(kāi)這里回家去。
- 這些副詞均有“或許、大概”之意。
- maybe普通用詞，美國(guó)英語(yǔ)多用，指某事也許如此，含不能確定意味。
- perhaps普通用詞，多用于英國(guó)，與maybe同義。
- possibly指客觀上潛存著發(fā)生某種變化的可能。
- probably一般指根據(jù)邏輯推理，估計(jì)有發(fā)生的可能，把握性較大，語(yǔ)氣比possibly強(qiáng)。 返回 perhaps
