【说明】
①maybe与perhaps同义,甚至可以互换。莎士比亚曾用maybe取代perhaps,但在现代英语里尚未得到普遍承认。由于二者同义,为一个词,即副词,作状语用。
②maybe与may
be意义与用法不同:
mayb
在英国英语中限用于非正式场合,例如:
Maybe
you're
right.
may
be适合用于正式场合,其前常用it作主语,其后常带that,例如:
It
may
be
that
our
letter
never
reached
her.
且may
be为两个词,常用it作主语,为动词,作谓语用。试比较以下两例:
Maybe
it
is
right.也许这是对的。
It
may
be
right.这可能是对的。
