情態(tài)動(dòng)詞shall與should的用法
情態(tài)動(dòng)詞shall與should的用法
我們已經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)過了幾個(gè)情態(tài)動(dòng)詞,如can,may,must,need以及have to.實(shí)際上,shall不只是助動(dòng)詞,它也是情態(tài)動(dòng)詞,表示“征求對(duì)方的意見”.例如:
Shall we clean the classroom now?現(xiàn)在我們可以打掃教室嗎?
這種用法和may相似,但不盡相同.試比較:
May I play soccer after supper?晚飯后我可不可以踢足球?(請(qǐng)求許可)
Shall I play soccer after supper?晚飯后我要不要踢足球?(征求意見)
should是shall的過去式,它可以用于過去時(shí)態(tài)中,但更多的是用作情態(tài)動(dòng)詞,意思是“應(yīng)當(dāng);應(yīng)該”,用來表示義務(wù)或責(zé)任.此時(shí),它不再局限于和第一人稱的代詞連用,而是三種人稱都能使用.例如:
They shouldn't be so careless.他們不該如此粗心.
You should answer my question in English.你應(yīng)當(dāng)用英語回答我的問題.
It's raining hard.You should drive slowly.雨下得很大.你開車要慢些.
should還可以用在提供幫助、提出建議、要求、給予指示的句子中.例如:
What should I do for them?我應(yīng)當(dāng)為他們做些什么?
Should I help you carry the basket?要不要我?guī)湍闾峄@子?
應(yīng)當(dāng)注意的是,當(dāng)should表示上述兩種意思時(shí),要重讀.
Will和Shall的用法
Will這個(gè)字與Future Simple Tense有很密切的關(guān)系,因?yàn)樵贔uture Simple Tense里,一定有“will”這個(gè)字存在.
(+)She will go to the club tonight.今晚她會(huì)去俱樂部.
(-)She will not go to the club tonight.今晚她不會(huì)去俱樂部.
(+?)Will she go to the club tonight?今晚她會(huì)不會(huì)去俱樂部?
Will的用法
(1)當(dāng)我們剛決定或剛想到會(huì)做一些事情∶
例(一)I will switch on the air condition,it is hot here.我會(huì)去開冷氣,因?yàn)檫@里很熱.
例(二)A∶Have you sent the cheque?你寄了那張支票嗎?
B∶I will send it now.我現(xiàn)在會(huì)寄那張支票.
(2)當(dāng)我們用到I think I will(我想我會(huì))或是I don’t think I will……(我不認(rèn)為我會(huì))∶
例(三)I think I will go out tonight,I feel bored.我想今晚我會(huì)出去,因?yàn)槲矣X得很悶.
例(四)I do not think Jenny will come.我不認(rèn)為Jenny會(huì)來.
(3)當(dāng)我們講出來,將會(huì)協(xié)助別人做的事情∶
例(五)A:The door is stuck.那個(gè)門塞著了.
B:I will help you.我會(huì)幫你.
(4)當(dāng)我們同意要做一些事情∶
例(六)I will reture the book to you next Friday.我在下個(gè)星期五會(huì)把書本還給你.
(5)當(dāng)我們要求別人幫助我們處理事情∶
例(七)Will you help me to close the door?你可以幫我把門關(guān)上嗎?
注∶通常在講英語方面,“不會(huì)”這一詞,我們可以用won’t.
例(八)I have asked her to do this many times she won’t Iisten to me.
我已經(jīng)叫她做這個(gè)很多次,但她不會(huì)聽我說.
Shall的用法
Shall只提供給I(我)和We(我們)用.現(xiàn)時(shí),我們多數(shù)只用Shall I 或是Shall we 來問一些人的意見或是允許,而且翻譯成華語是帶有應(yīng)該的意思∶
例(九)Shall we go now?我們應(yīng)該走了嗎?
例(十)What shall we do to her?我們應(yīng)該如何對(duì)待她?
(7)Shall I……?與Will you……?的分別∶
(a)Shall I clear the table?(你要我收拾桌子嗎?)
(b)Will you clear the table?(我要你收拾桌子.)
以上的兩個(gè)句子,可以證明Will you……帶有比較認(rèn)真和直接的意思.
翻譯∶
用適當(dāng)?shù)挠⑽膚ill或是shall翻譯以下的句子∶
(1)A∶你有打電話給老板嗎?
B∶哦!我忘記了,我現(xiàn)在會(huì)打電話給他.
(2)我想我會(huì)關(guān)上窗.
(3)我們今晚應(yīng)該做些什么?
(4)我會(huì)在樓下的大廳等你.
(5)那輛車不能駕,我不知道發(fā)生了什么事?
(6)你要我開門嗎?因?yàn)檫@里很熱.
(7)這是一個(gè)秘密,我答應(yīng)不會(huì)告訴別人.
(8)謝謝你借我汽車,我下個(gè)星期會(huì)歸還給你.
經(jīng)過這一項(xiàng)練習(xí)“will”或“shall”,您將更清楚未來詞的用法了.
