although conj.然而；尽管，引导的从句不能与but, however连用，但可与yet, still连用。

Although he was tired, he went on working.
= He was tired, but he went on working.

4. Come on, better get going! 好了，走吧！

5. It’s probably sunny and hot there. 那里的天气可能晴朗、热。

It’ll probably be cold tomorrow. 明天可能冷。

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。
