2. Probably/possibly
These two words can confuse even native speakers. Probably is used for saying that something is likely to be true, and possibly that it may be true but you are not certain.
这两个词非常容易混淆。“Probably”用来表达某件事很可能是真的,“possibly”则表示这件事可能是真的,但你并不确定。
e.g. If house prices are low, it’s probably because there is a lack of demand.
例句:如果房价很低,那么很可能是因为需求少。
e.g. ‘Would you consider moving to another country for your work?’ ‘Possibly, I’m not sure.’
例句:“你会因为工作原因考虑移居其他国家吗?”“可能吧,我不确定。”
