語法 Grammar in use
情態(tài)助動詞 must
(1) must 一般譯為“必須”,可以表示“必要”、“命令或強(qiáng)制”、“邀請”、“決心”、“不可推卸的責(zé)任”等多種含義。它沒有時態(tài)和人稱變化,通常只用于現(xiàn)在時和將來時。在其他時態(tài)中,must的有些含義可以由have to或 have got to來補(bǔ)足。這 3種形式一般可以互換,但彼此是有差別的。用于第一人稱時,have to和have got to強(qiáng)調(diào)客觀的要求或外在的原因,must則強(qiáng)調(diào)主觀的要求或表示說話的人認(rèn)為自己有權(quán)做某事:
I have to look after the baby.
我得照管這孩子。(因為客觀原因)
I must see the boss.
我必須見老板。(主觀要求)
They must leave (tomorrow).
他們(明天)必須出發(fā)。
They had to leave.
他們(當(dāng)時)不得不出發(fā)。(過去時中用 have to 代替)
They have had to leave.(2)have to和 have got to往往可以互換:
I have to/have got to leave home every morning at 7:30.
我每天早上7點(diǎn)半就得離開家。
但是,與always,sometimes 等頻度副詞連用時,用have to往往比用have got to好:
I often have to get up at 5. Do you ever have to get up at 5?
我經(jīng)常5點(diǎn)就得起床。你有時候也得5點(diǎn)起床嗎?
have got to比have to聽上去要更加口語化一些:
(3)在表達(dá)“難道你不能不(做……)”的含義時,一般用“Must you…?”句型而不用“Do you have to…?”或“Have you got to…?”句型:
(4)must還可以用來表示推測:
He must be at home now.
他現(xiàn)在肯定在家。
He must be mad to drive anywhere today!
他今天居然開車出去,真是瘋了!
