   - = It's possible that he isn't busy.

3. **He may have been busy.**

## 五、课文翻译

1. 他很忙。（有可能）→ 他可能很忙。
2. 他很忙。（有可能他不忙）→ 他可能不忙。
3. 他当时很忙。（有可能）→ 他当时可能很忙。
4. 他当时很忙。（有可能他不忙）→ 他当时可能不忙。
5. 他们很累。（有可能）→ 他们可能很累。
6. 他们当时很累。（有可能）→ 他们当时可能很累。

## 六、语言点精讲

1. **may have been**：对过去情况的推测。结构：may + have + been + 形容词/名词/介词短语。如：He may have been at home yesterday.（他昨天可能在家。）

2. **may not have been**：对过去情况的否定推测，"可能没有"。注意这不是"不许可"，而是表示"有可能不是那样"。

3. **推测语气由强到弱**：must > should > may > might > could。如：
   - He must be right.（他一定是对的。）
   - He should be right.（他应该是对的。）
   - He may be right.（他可能是对的。）
   - He might be right.（他也许是对的。）

4. **may be与maybe的区别**：may be是情态动词+be动词，作谓语；maybe是副词，相当于perhaps，修饰整个句子。
   - He may be right.（他可能是对的。）
   - Maybe he is right.（也许他是对的。）

## 七、课后练习要点

1. 将It's possible句型改为may/might推测句型
2. may be与maybe的用法区别
3. 对现在和过去情况的推测练习
4. may, might, must, can't推测语气的程度对比

## 八、本课小结
