probably在否定句中的位置

下面一句中的probably won’t也可说成won’t probably吗?
I probably won’t finish the work in time, but I’ll try my best.
又如下一句中的probably didn’t也可说成didn’t probably吗?
The girl probably didn’t try hard enough.

副词 probably 与否定词连用时,习惯上是用于否定词之前,而不是用于其后。所以英语习惯上是说:

I probably won’t finish the work in time, but I’ll try my best.

The girl probably didn’t try hard enough.

而不会说:

I won’t probably finish the work in time, but I’ll try my best.

The girl didn’t probably try hard enough.

又如:

it couldn’t help, but then again, it probably couldn’t hurt.  它没什么用,不过可能也没危害。

This idea probably won’t work, but let’s try it anyway. 这个办法可能行不通,不过我们还是试试吧。

The origin of the universe will probably never be explained. 宇宙起源问题大概永远不会有答案。
