词语用法

词义讲解

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?
