今天小编就为给大家分享关于那些表示可能的词汇用法。希望能帮到各位考鸭,更多雅思考试干货敬请关注新航道雅思考试频道
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最差的一次。I'm maybe an inch taller than him.
我可能比他高一英寸吧。
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.
这可能是我俩此生最后一次见面了。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.
视情况发展而定,本田可能会恢复阶段性的生产。
