10.perhaps,probably,maybe 三者均作副词,在意思上均表示或许、大概,用法上稍有差异。Perhaps与maybe属普通用语,前者常见于英式英语,或者多见于美式英语。 Probably稍正式,所表示的可能性比perhaps和maybe大,常译为也许:He is probably 40.他大概有40岁。 There is probably some kind of living matter on some other worlds,but we do not know yet.其他星球上很可能存在着某种生命,但我们还不知道。
11.quite,very 两者均可用来表示很、非常、全然等意义。Quite表示完全之意常用于正式问题:He murmured something she didnt quite catch.他低语了些什么,她没有完全听到。而very表示完全之意时常与形容词最高级或类似意味的词连用:Shes the very worst cook.Ive ever encountered.她是我曾遇到的最糟糕的厨师。Expenses have been reduced to the very minimun.费用已被降到最低。表示很、非常之意时,quite在程度上不及very强:She quite likes him,but not enough to marry hiim。她颇喜欢他,但还不到要嫁给他的程度。另外,quite除了可以和very一样修饰形容词或副词外,还可以直接修饰动词:She was quite recovered by supper.到吃饭时,她已完全恢复了。very要修饰动词,通常需借助much,构成very much。
