表示推测的情态动词、形容词和副词
1.在英语中,有些情态动词可以用来表示“推测”,如must, can, could, may, might等。它们用在句中表推测时,没有时态的区别,只有语气强弱之分。might和could在表示推测时不表示时态,其表示的可能性不如may和can大; must意为“肯定,一定”,可能性最大; can意为“可能”,可能性比could大; may意为“也许,可能”,可能性比might大。
He must be at home.他肯定在家。
He can't be at home.他不可能在家。
He could be at home.他可能在家。
He may be at home.他也许在家。
He might be at home.他或许在家。
2.除了情态动词可以表示推测外,一些形容词和副词也可以用来表示推测,如:possible, probably, perhaps, maybe等,其中perhaps和maybe多置于句首。常见的句式有“It is possible to do sth.”,“It is possible that…”,“主语+will probably/possibly do sth.”等。
It's possible that it will be snowy.
有可能会下雪。
It's possible to swim across the river.
游过这条河是有可能的。
It will probably/possibly be cold and wet.
也许天气会又冷又潮。
Maybe we can ask for some help.
或许我们可以寻求一些帮助。
