生活中有很多人都喜欢用“我不知道”、“我不确定”这样的话来回答问题。那么如何用英语来表达“不确定”呢?今天海词小编为大家整理了几种表述方式,绝对让您开口不重复哦!

1. Perhaps/maybe

这两个词可以用在你对某事不确定的情况下,或是表达某事可能是真的,也可能是假的。不过,perhaps更加正式,常用在写作中,而maybe更多用在口语中。

e.g. I wondered if perhaps he had changed his mind about attending the party.

我在想关于参加派对这件事,他是不是改变主意了。

e.g. "When can you give me an answer?"

"I don't know. Maybe tomorrow."

“你什么时候能给我答复?”

“不知道,也许明天吧。”

2. Probably/possibly

这两个词非常容易混淆。Probably用来表达某件事很可能是真的,possibly则表示这件事可能是真的,但你并不确定。

e.g. If house prices are low, it's probably because there is a lack of demand.

如果房价很低,那么很可能是因为需求少。

e.g. "Would you consider moving to another country for your work?"

"Possibly, I'm not sure."

“你会因为工作原因考虑移居其他国家吗?”

“可能吧,我不确定。”






3. Apparently

当你听说了某件事而不是你自己确定这件事是真的时,你可以用apparently来表示这件事是事实。

e.g. Apparently, she resigned because she had an argument with her boss.

显然,她辞职是因为和老板吵了一架。

4. As far as I know/ as far as I am aware

如果你对某个问题了解得不是很全面,就可以用这个词。

e.g. No one has complained, as far as I know.

就我所知,没有人抱怨。

5. To the best of my knowledge

当你认为某事是真的,但又不确定的时候可以用这句话。

e.g. To the best of my knowledge, no similar book has been published.

就我看来,还没有类似的书出版过。

6. Not to my knowledge

当你认为某事不是真的,但又不确定的时候可以用这句话。

e.g. "Has the report been sent yet?"

"Not to my knowledge."

“报告交上去了吗?”

“我觉得没有吧。”
