英語學(xué)習(xí)：“可能”的9種英語表達(dá)

1、英語學(xué)習(xí)：“可能”的 9 種英語表達(dá)1、probably很可能；大概 英語釋義： used to mean that something is very likely probably 是“多半”，其可能性超過一半。 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，語氣比possibly 強(qiáng)。Ill probably be home by midnight. 我很可能半夜到家。Im probably going - it depends on the weather. 我很可能會(huì)去這要看天氣怎么樣。2、maybe或許，大概英語釋義： used to show that something i

2、s possible or that something might be truemaybe 這個(gè)詞比 perhaps 更口語化，美國英語多用。指某事也許如此， 含不能確定意味。maybe 要用于句首，它和 perhaps 表示的可能性大致為一半。 Maybe theyll come tomorrow.或許他們明天會(huì)來。Maybe you were right after all.或許還是你對(duì)3、perhaps 或許，可能 英語釋義： used to show that something is possible or that you are not certain about somet

3、hing多用于英式口語，與 maybe同義。可用于句末、句中、句首。He hasnt written to me recently - perhaps hes lost my address.他最近沒給我寫信也許他把我的地址弄丟了。4、possibly可能地英語釋義： used when something is not certainpossibly 指客觀上潛存著發(fā)生某種變化的可能，其可能性低于一半。 He may possibly decide not to come, in which case theres no problem.他可能會(huì)決定不來，這樣就沒問題了。【拓展】It is

4、possible that 可能，是有可能的It is possible that some of these methods coincide with the designers needs.這些方法中有一些可能滿足設(shè)計(jì)者的需要。5、presumably據(jù)推測(cè)，大概，可能英語釋義： used to say what you think is the likely situation presume 的意思是“假定，推定，認(rèn)定”，多表示以過去經(jīng)驗(yàn)作根據(jù) 或者是合乎邏輯地推測(cè)。一般是有充分的理由，雖然結(jié)論仍可能是錯(cuò)誤的。能夠得出，presume表示的可能性較高。presumably 是它的副詞

5、形式，表示“據(jù)推測(cè)，大體上說“。Presumably the bad weather has delayed the flight. 大概惡劣的天氣使飛機(jī)誤點(diǎn)了。The stars in each given cluster presumably were formed almost simultaneously.大體上說，每個(gè)給定星團(tuán)中的恒星差不多是同時(shí)形成的。6、there is the possibility有可能There is the probability that we were wrong.有可能是我們錯(cuò)了。7、the chances are that=It is likely

6、 that很有可能Chances are (that) theyll be late anyway. 總之，他們很可能會(huì)遲到。這也是很常用的表達(dá)。 chance 除了表示“機(jī)會(huì)”，也有“可能性” ( likelihood )的意思。所以說，不可能的英語就是 Not a chance ！ 更夸張一點(diǎn)就是： not a chance in hell ！(絕不可能！) 8 、 in all probability 很有可能，十之 *英語釋義： used to mean that something is very likely She will, in all probability, have left before we arrive. 她十有 *會(huì)在我們到達(dá)之前就已經(jīng)離開了?！拘≈R(shí)】十之*還能夠是： nine times out of tenninety-nine times outof a hundredNine times out of ten, you can fix it. 你十有 *能夠修
