probably
★★★★★
🇺🇸 /pɹˈɑbʌblˌi/
🇬🇧 /ˈpɹɒb.li/
probably 是副词，表示“很可能、大概”，用于表达说话人认为某事发生或成立的可能性很高，但并非百分之百确定。
💡 记忆钩子
把 probably 想成“把天平压向一边，但还没有完全落下”：事情很可能如此，所以先说“很可能”，同时保留一点不确定。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“很可能、大概”这一核心意思，再注意它不是“肯定”或“必然”。
- 不要把 probably 误解成“也许”那样完全拿不准；它通常表示说话人有较强把握。

core 很可能；大概📖 表示说话人根据已有情况判断，某事大概已经发生、正在发生或将会发生；可能性较高，但仍留有不确定性。💡 常用模式是“主语 + probably + 实义动词”，以及“主语 + be + probably + 表语”；在完成时中通常放在助动词后、主要动词前。它比表示普通不确定的说法更有把握，但不能用来表达确定无疑的结论。She probably has arrived by now.她现在大概已经到了。
