may 表示让步
may...but 结构

we may have our differences from time to time,but basically we trust one anther's judgment. 可改为：
we admit that we have our differences,but basically we trust one another's judgment.
或although we have out differences,basically we trust one another's judgment.
不能改成it is possible that we have our differences,but basically we trust one another's judgement.
这时的may已经失去"可能"的含义，认为是真实的陈述.
