语法知识情态动词表推测 更新于:2023-12-23 06:45:45

情态动词是一类特殊的助动词，用于在句子中表达推测、可能性、必要性、许可等含义。可以表示对某件事情的猜测、假设或推断，而没有直接的证据或确切信息。
现在时(一般)过去时(委婉)
Can（70-80% 能够，可能）Could（50-60% 可能）
  • He can be at home.（他可能在家。）
  • She can't have forgotten about the meeting.（她不可能忘记会议。）
  • It could rain later.（天可能会下雨。）
  • They could have left already.（他们可能已经离开了。）
May（30-40% 可能）Might（20-30% 可能）
  • He may arrive late.（他可能会迟到。）
  • It may not be as difficult as it seems.（这可能没有看起来那么困难。）
  • She might be busy with work.（她可能因工作很忙。）

Must（100% 肯定，一定）
He must be tired after such a long journey.（经过这么长的旅程，他肯定累了。）They must have arrived by now.（他们肯定已经到达了。）
这些情态动词可以根据语境和时态的改变来表示不同的推测含义。在使用情态动词表达推测时，需要注意与实际证据或确切信息之间的差异，并用适当的情态动词来表达对事实的估计或猜测。
must be 一定是may be 可能是
表达对某件事情的强烈推断或肯定推测。它表示根据现有的证据或逻辑推理，某件事情几乎可以确定或非常有可能是真实的。表达对某件事情的推测或可能性。它表示根据现有的情况、证据或推理，某件事情有可能是真实的，但不像 "must be" 那样表示肯定或强烈的推断。

  • She said she would come, but she may be running late. （她说她会来，但她可能要迟到。）
"must be" 常常基于观察、推理或逻辑推断，用来表达某种程度的肯定和确定性，表达了对事情的一种开放态度。它可以表示根据目前的情况或推理做出的合理猜测，但并没有确凿的证据来支持。

can't be 不可能是（否定推测）

表达对某件事情的否定推测或不可能性。它表示根据现有的情况、证据或逻辑推理，某件事情几乎可以确定地是不真实或不可能发生的。

  • The store closes at 9 PM, and it's already 10 PM. It can't be open. （商店晚上9点关门，现在已经10点了。它不可能开着。）

扩展知识与“名字”相关的固定表述 更新于:2024-07-18 14:34:53

与上一节课的的“lazy Susan”一样与“名字”有关却和名词“完全没有关系”的固定表述，类似于中文里的“炒鱿鱼”、“搬砖”、“冷板凳”。如果需要深入了解英文的文化，我们需要更加深入的去了解这里与“名字”相关却又与“名字”无关的固定表述。

Dear John letter 分手信（男生给女生 dear Jones letter）

这种名称最初源于美国军队中的一种现象，当士兵在服役期间，他们的伴侣会以写信的方式与他们分手。这些信件通常以“亲爱的约翰（Dear John）”的称呼开头。

Adam’s apple 男士的喉结

Wilson has got a huge Adam's apple. 威尔逊有超大的喉结。

Roger that 收到（国际通用的通讯用语）

Ok, Roger that.(receive) 好的，收到。

源自于军事通信中的用语。“Roger”在这里表示“收到”、“明白”或“了解”，而“that”则是指前面所说的内容或指令。因此，“Roger that”意味着接收到消息、理解了指令或同意之前所说的内容。

rob Peter to pay Paul 挖肉补疮，无济于事/拆东墙补西墙

If you are in the English classroom to prepare for the math test, it is rob Peter to pay Paul. 如果你在英文课准备数学考试，这样根本是舍本逐末、打马虎眼、缘木求鱼、投桃报李。

英语俗语，意为 "剥夺彼得以支付保罗"。它用来描述通过对一个人或事物施加负面影响来满足另一个人或事物的需要。

这个俗语可以用来形容一种权衡取舍的情况，其中一个人或事物受损，以满足另一个人或事物的需求。通常情况下，这种做法并不可持续或理想，因为它只是将问题转移或延迟解决，而不是真正解决问题。

例如，如果一个人从一个项目中取走资源来支持另一个项目，那么就可以说他在"rob Peter to pay Paul"。这意味着他剥夺了一个项目的资源来满足另一个项目的需求，可能导致两个项目都无法完全成功。、
