  • 词义辨析

    possibly, maybe, perhaps, probably

    这四个词都有“可能,或许”的意思。它们的区别是:

    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。

    词源词根法

    词根-poss-能,能够+-ible形容词词尾(e略)+-ly副词词尾。

    注意:为什么poss是能、能够的意思,请参考如下记忆法:

    因为poss=pass=通过。你通过,你成功一件事情了,说明你具有这种能力,你能够达成一件事情,从而引申能、能够。
