These?two?words?are?used?for?saying?that?you?are?not?certain?about?something,?or?that?something?may?or?may?not?be?true.?

這兩個(gè)詞可以用在你對(duì)某事不確定的情況下，或是表達(dá)某事可能是真的也可能是假的。??

Perhaps?is?more?formal?and?is?used?in?writing?while?maybe?is?used?more?in?spoken?English?

Perhaps更加正式，常用在寫作中，而maybe更多用在口語(yǔ)中。???

例句：?

2.?Probably/possibly??

These?two?words?can?confuse?even?native?speakers.?即使是以英語(yǔ)為母語(yǔ)的人也會(huì)混淆這兩個(gè)詞。??

Probably?is?used?for?saying?that?something?is?likely?to?be?true,?and?possibly?that?it?may?be?true?but?you?are?not?certain.?

Probably用來表達(dá)某件事很可能是真的，possibly則表示這件事可能是真的，但你并不確定。???例句：?

If?house?prices?are?low,?it's?probably?because?there?is?a?lack?of?demand.?

Apparently,?she?resigned?because?she?had?an?argument?with?her?boss.?
