No pains,no gains.
不入虎穴，焉得虎子。

1）Perhaps和Possibly大体同义，它表示的意思是“也许如此，也许不如此”。例如：

Perhaps the letter will come today.

It is possibly true.

2)Probably的肯定店气最强，有most likely的意味，表示某事可能发生。例如：

The singer will probably succeed.

John will perhaps succeed.

I think maybe they don't want him,he's so cross.

Maybe it is true.
