probably adv. 大概；或许；很可能英语中表示可能的方式有许多，除使用情态动词may / might 以外，还可以通过will 以及表示“可能”的形容词和副词表达。常用的有：It is possible to do sth. .., It is possible that …, 主语 + will probably / possibly + v.等。例如：
Is it possible to visit Alaska in December? 十二月去阿拉斯加游览有可能吗？
It is possible that it’ll be snowy in the night. 晚上有可能会下雪。
It’ll probably be cold and wet天气很可能会又湿又冷。 probably 表示“很可能”，所以表示的可能性要比possible 大。 Step 9 Grammar

情态动词may和might 一、表示允许或请求
may和might表示允许或请求时，意为“可以”。其中，might表示
的语气较委婉（不表示过去）。如： May I come tomorrow?
Might I have a cup of coffee?
I asked her if I might call and see her. You may leave at any time.
You may use the room if you keep it clean. 二、表示推测
may和might都可以用来表示推测，意为“也许；可能”。它们的否
定形式分别是may not和might not。如： I think David may be at school. That woman may not be Mark’s mother. How long might the travel take? Susan might not return tomorrow. 注意：
may和might 表推测时，may比might 表示的可能性要大一些；而might 使说话的语气更加委婉，表示实现的可能性比较小。 【运用】根据括号内所给提示将下列汉语句子翻译成英语。 1. 这块手表不是你的。它可能是谁的呢？(may)
