May
May 强调表达可能性 possibility:
词义相当于perhaps,即“或许”的意思。
比如,今天James缺席,老师问:Where is James?
甲同学回答:I don't know. He may be ill. 乙同学心里想:or he may be too
lazy to come to school.
May 时常用于表述未来事件的可能性:
It may rain tomorrow, but I hope it will be sunny.
注意与can 比较:
The weather can be very hot in Delhi.
这里,can 所表达的,乃是一般的可能性。 |
