课文详注 Further notes on the text 1.Can't you come in and have tea now, Peter?彼得,你现在能进来喝茶吗?这是否定疑问句,表示邀请。请参见第77-78课_Terrible toothache语法部分。
2.Don't you remember?你不记得了吗?
这也是否定疑问句。
3.don't need to= needn't。
表示“不必”,是 must和 have to的一般现在时否定式。
4. a pleasant surprise,意想不到的好事,令人惊喜的事。
语法 Grammar in use
must, have to和 needn't
这3个词都表示必要性。在前面已对 must和 have to介绍过。
must是情态助动词,而have to是普通动词,二者在肯定句中一般可以互换,表示不可逃避的义务或责任。must更带有说话人的主观色彩,而have to则更强调客观要求和外界影响。
must一般只能表达现在的必要性,而have to则可以表达过去或将来的必要性。对比例句:
Must you go now?
