45.maybe ,possibly ,perhaps
这三个词都可表示"可能性"。
﹡ maybe"可能,也许",比其余的几个词更为随便和不正式,可能性不大,也可以表示一种非常委婉,礼貌的建议或要求。如:you could put it over there,maybe.也许你可以把它搁在那边。He didn't feel quite right;maybe he got sunstroke.他觉得不太好,也许是有点中暑。The doctor thinks maybe we'd better have a minor operation.医生认为我们最好做个小手术。
﹡ possibly"可能地,或者,也许",可能性较大用于否定句和疑问句时表示"无论如何"之意。如:She expressed regret for any inconvenience which might possibly be caused.她为任何可能造成的不便而深表歉意。I couldn't possibly have finished typing such a long document in such a limited period of time.无论如何,我也不可能在如此有限的时间内打完这么长的文件。
﹡ perhaps"可能",较为常用也较为正式的词,可能性也不十分大。它可以表示建议或要求,也可以表示以礼貌的方式下命令。如:I thought perhaps it was the letter you had been expecting. 我想这大概是你一直盼望的那封信。Perhaps you will kindly give us a hand when we are in trouble.当我们陷入困境时,也许你会善意地帮我们一把。

46. most ,mostly
﹡ 无限定词搭配的most可用作形容词和名词。前者通常修饰复数可数名词或不可数名词time,表示"大多数的,大部分的"意思;后者常接of引起的介词短语或定语从句,表示"大多数人(东西,时间)"的意思。此外,most还可作副词,用来修饰副词,形容词或动词,表示"最,十分,非常,很"的意思。如Most students like English.大多数学生喜欢英语。I was in Shanghai most of the time.。我大部分时间在上海。The present world situation is the most favourable for the people.当前世界形势对人民非常有利。
﹡ mostly是一个副词,只用作状语。一般放在所修饰的词或短语之前,主要表示"主要地;多半;大部分地"意思。如She is mostly out on Sundays.星 期天她多半不在家。She uses her car mostly for going to the shops.她用车多半是去商店买东西。

47.though,although
这两个词都有"虽然"之意,均不能与but连用,但可加yet,still等词以加强语气。
﹡ although:"尽管;虽然",只作连词,较正式,一般情况下可以用though替代。如:He passed the exam although illness prevented him from attending class.虽然他曾因病耽误了学习,但他考试还是及格了。Although he was seriously wounded, he still held out on the battle-field.他虽然身负重伤,但坚持不下火线。
﹡ though:"虽然,尽管,即使",还可以与even连用,even though即使,纵然。作副词时,一般不能置于句首,译作"然而,不过",相当于nevertheless.如:I can see that New York must seem dull to her,though the family won't admit it.我看得出来纽约对她来说一定很单调乏味,虽然家里人不愿承认这一点。She won't leave the TV set,even though her husband is waiting for his supper.即使丈夫等着吃饭,她也不愿意离开电视机。

48. even,even though,though
这一组词十分容易混淆。
﹡ even是副词,作"甚至"解,用来强调语气。它在句中的位置应靠近所强调的词或短语,否则会引起歧义。体会以下各句意思:She would not even enter my room.她甚至不进我的房间。Even she would not enter my room.甚至连她也不进我的房间。She would not enter even my room.她甚至连我的房间也不进来。
﹡ even though(=even if)和though都为连词,前者为"即使,纵使",表示退一步设想,引导一个条件状语从句,含有不肯定的意味;后者为"虽然",引导一个让步状语从句,表示的是一种事实。参见下列两个例句,前一句表示一种设想与假设,后一句表示"他确实知道"的事实。如He will not tell us the secret, even though(even if) he knows it.即使他知道这个秘密,他也不肯说出来。He will not tell us the secret though he knows it.虽然他知道这个秘密,但却不肯说出来。
..........................................................................
49. till ,until
﹡ till和until都可以用作连词和介词,用于肯定句和否定句。用于肯定句时,只与持续性动词连用,表示"到……为止"。用于否定句时,通常与瞬间动词连用,也可与持续性动词连用,表示"直到……才"的意思。这两个词一般情况下可以相互使换用。如:We waited for him until/till six o'clock.我们等他一直等到六点钟。The pupil will not begin the meeting till/until their class supervisor comes.学生们等到班主任一到就开始开会。They didn't talk until/till the interpreter came.知道译员到,他们才交谈。He did not go to bed until/till he had made sure that nothing was wrong with the pipes.他检查水管,确准它们没有毛病,才去睡觉。当until用于句首时,一般不能用till代替。在以not开始的从句或短语时,till一般也不可代替until,而且这种句式要用倒装语序。如Until the last minute of the match we kept playing.直到比赛的最后一分钟,我们仍然坚持奋战。Not until he had finished his work did he go home.他直到把工作做完,才回家去。
