may be和maybe的区别

区别是在may be中，may是情态动词，be是动词原形，两者构成完整的谓语形式，与主语形成系表结构，意为“也许是、可能是”。maybe是副词,意思是“也许、可能”，在句中作状语,相当于perhaps，常位于句首。

例句：

may be

1、They may be able to help with childcare so that you can have a break.

他们可以帮忙照料孩子，这样你就可以歇一歇了。

2、It may be that you will feel the exact opposite of what you expected.

可能你的感觉将和你的期盼刚好相反。

3、Logistical problems may be causing the delay.

可能是物流问题造成了延误。

4、I had an idea that he joined the army later, but I may be wrong.

我猜他后来参军了，但也可能我猜得不对。

maybe

2、Maybe we can go to the movies or something.

3、Maybe there is jealousy, but I think the envy is more powerful.

4、'Do you think that another country will step in to become the dominant military powerin the region?' — 'Maybe.'

“您认为另一个国家会介入在该地区建立军事霸权吗？”——“可能吧。”

1、用法不同

maybe这个词比perhaps更口语化，美国英语多用。指某事也许如此，含不能确定意味。maybe要用于句首，它和perhaps表示的可能性大致为一半。perhaps多用于英式口语，与maybe同义。

或许他们明天会来。

He hasn't written to me recently - perhaps he's lost my address.

他最近没给我写信——也许他把我的地址弄丢了。

2、位置不同

maybe要用于句首，perhaps可用于句末、句中、句首。

3、所用的场合不同

maybe为美国英语，主要用于非正式场合；perhaps请求及温和的命令，英国用法，用于正式场合。
