发布时间:2018-02-23 17:08:01

广州学大教育小编认为高考口语其实是十分重要的。虽然它没有在试卷上显性出现,但却出现在我们生活的各个地方,与阅读,听力,写作,完型都息息相关,所以同学们一定要认真去记。下面小编就来为大家介绍一个英语的表达方法,主要讲的是“不确定”的五种语文表达方法,同学们和小编一起来看看吧!


很多人都喜欢用“我不知道”、“我不确定”这样的话来回答问题。如何用英语表达不确定呢?广州学大教育小编为大家整理了7种表述方式。


1. Perhaps/maybe

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

这两个词可以用在你对某事不确定的情况下,或是表达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,常用在写作中,而“maybe”更多用在口语中。


e.g. I wondered if perhaps she had changed her mind about attending the party.

例句:我在想关于参加派对这件事,她是不是改变主意了。


e.g. ‘When can you give me an answer?’ ‘I don’t know. Maybe tomorrow.’

例句:“你什么时候能给我答复?” “不知道,也许明天吧。”


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.

广州学大教育小编认为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。”


3. Apparently

It is used when what you are saying is based on what you have heard, not on what you know is true and therefore fact.当你听说了某件事而不是你自己确定这件事是真的的时候,广州学大教育小编认为你可以用“apparently”来表示这件事是事实。


e.g. There is, apparently, going to be an announcement about the new CEO tomorrow.

例句:显然,明天就会有新总裁的通知了。


4. To the best of my knowledge

This phrase is used for saying that you think something is true, but you are not completely certain. This is quite a formal expression.广州学大教育小编认为当你认为某事是真的,但又不确定的时候可以用这句话。


5. I imagine/suppose/guess

These are used when you think something is probably true, but you can’t be sure. “Guess” is more frequently used in American English, although you can hear it in British English, too. “Suppose” is more characteristic of British English and is often used in the negative.

这些词可以用在当你认为某事可能是真的,但又不确定的时候。“guess”更多地出现在美式英语中,尽管也有英国人会用。但是广州学大教育小编认为“suppose”是更加地道的英式英语,而且经常用在否定句中。


e.g. I imagine they’ve already left for the airport.

例句:我认为他们已经离开机场了。


广州学大教育小编认为学习英语就是要从一点一滴,从小积累,这样你的英语词库才会想滚雪球一样越滚越大 ,当然同学们一定要持之以恒才行。预祝同学们金榜题名,考入自己心仪的大学。
