四个基础词汇"maybe", "perhaps", "possibly","probably"

　　可能性程度其中的"probably"表示可能性比较大：50%以上;"Possibly"表示可能性为50%以下;

　　"Maybe"和"perhaps"则表示正反可能性不相上下，对半分。

　　使用场合"Maybe"的使用比较随性，比如：A: Are you going to Jane's party?

　　简的聚会你会去吗?B: Maybe. You?

　　也许吧。你去吗?"Perhaps"则更正式一点，比如：A: Would it be possible to change my seat number?

　　可以给我换个座位号吗?B: Perhaps. Please hold while I check.

　　也许可以。请稍等，我查一下。

　　具体运用➀ 回答一般疑问句时使用：A: Do you think you'll get a chance to visit your cousin Mary while you're in town?

　　你进城时能顺便看一下你玛丽表姐吗?B: Maybe. It depends on how busy I end up being with work stuff.

　　再说吧。看我到时候的工作完成情况吧。

　　➁ 用在不定冠词("a", "an")和定冠词("the")前：That's probably a bad decision.

　　那大概率是个不怎么样的决定。This is possibly the worst meal I've ever had.

　　这顿饭可能是我吃过的*差的一次。I'm maybe an inch taller than him.

　　我可能比他*英寸吧。

　　➂ 用在情态动词和be动词之间("could be", "might be", "may be", "should be")：This could possibly be the last time we ever see each other.

　　这可能是我俩此生*后一次见面了。We should probably be thankful that it didn't turn out worse.

　　也许我们该感恩事情没有向更糟的方向发展。

　　与上面四个词偏口语不同，下面这几个词组偏书面。

　　➀ Weather permitting 如果天气状况允许的话

　　Weather permitting, we will be there on time.

　　天气状况允许的话，我们会按时到那儿。The plane lands at midnight, weather permitting.

　　天气状况允许的话，飞机会在午夜抵达。

　　➁ It is possible that 有可能……It is possible that you might feel some discomfort after the checkup.

　　体检之后你可能会有点不适。

　　➂ Depending on circumstances 视情况而定Honda will resume production in stages, depending on the ongoing circumstances.
