在雅思口語中和考官交流其實可以避免一些問題的產生,比如告別絕對性的說yes 或者no.雅思口語中可以說一些有余地的詞匯給自己留下更多回旋的可能。今天小編就為大家分享關于那些表示可能的詞匯用法。希望備考雅思口語的同學能夠用上。
四個基礎詞匯"maybe", "perhaps", "possibly","probably"
可能性程度其中的"probably"表示可能性比較大:50%以上;"Possibly"表示可能性為50%以下;
"Maybe"和"perhaps"則表示正反可能性不相上下,對半分。
使用場合"Maybe"的使用比較隨性,比如:A: Are you going to Jane's party?
簡的聚會你會去嗎?B: Maybe. You?
也許吧。你去嗎?"Perhaps"則更正式一點,比如:A: Would it be possible to change my seat number?
可以給我換個座位號嗎?B: Perhaps. Please hold while I check.
也許可以。請稍等,我查一下。
具體運用➀ 回答一般疑問句時使用:A: Do you think you'll get a chance to visit your cousin Mary while you're in town?
你進城時能順便看一下你瑪麗表姐嗎?B: Maybe. It depends on how busy I end up being with work stuff.
再說吧?次业綍r候的工作完成情況吧。
➁ 用在不定冠詞("a", "an")和定冠詞("the")前:That's probably a bad decision.
那大概率是個不怎么樣的決定。This is possibly the worst meal I've ever had.
這頓飯可能是我吃過的最差的一次。I'm maybe an inch taller than him.
我可能比他高一英寸吧。
➂ 用在情態(tài)動詞和be動詞之間("could be", "might be", "may be", "should be"):This could possibly be the last time we ever see each other.
這可能是我倆此生最后一次見面了。We should probably be thankful that it didn't turn out worse.
也許我們該感恩事情沒有向更糟的方向發(fā)展。
與上面四個詞偏口語不同,下面這幾個詞組偏書面。
➀ Weather permitting 如果天氣狀況允許的話
Weather permitting, we will be there on time.
天氣狀況允許的話,我們會按時到那兒。The plane lands at midnight, weather permitting.
天氣狀況允許的話,飛機會在午夜抵達。
➁ It is possible that 有可能……It is possible that you might feel some discomfort after the checkup.
體檢之后你可能會有點不適。
➂ Depending on circumstances 視情況而定Honda will resume production in stages, depending on the ongoing circumstances.
