Grammar
情態(tài)動(dòng)詞本身有一定的詞義,為謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞增添情態(tài)色彩,
表示說話人對(duì)有關(guān)行為或事物的態(tài)度和看法,認(rèn)為其可能、
應(yīng)該或必要等。我們學(xué)習(xí)過的can和may都屬于這類詞。
may/might
情態(tài)動(dòng)詞may/might,沒有人稱和數(shù)的變化,在句子中不能單獨(dú)作
謂語(yǔ)。后面直接跟動(dòng)詞原形(即不帶to的不定式)構(gòu)成合成謂語(yǔ),
常用于下列幾種情況:
1.may/might表示請(qǐng)求許可時(shí),譯為“可以”。might表示的
語(yǔ)氣更加委婉、客氣。雖然may有自己的否定形式may not,
但否定回答常用cannot、must not來表達(dá)否定意思。
May I leave the book with you?
我可以把這本書交給你嗎?
Yes,you may/can.(No,you can't/mustn't.)
可以。(不可以)。
The manager told me I might have a vacation.
經(jīng)理告訴我,我可以休假。
Might I use your pen for a while?
我能用用你的鋼筆嗎?
2.may/might表示推測(cè),常譯成“也許,可能”等,might
的可能性比may要小。否定形式常用may not/might not.如:
She may/might go to Shanghai next week.
下周她可能到上海去。
He may/might be writing a letter.
他可能正在寫信。
He may(may not)come here tomorrow.
他明天也許會(huì)(不會(huì))來這兒。
3.表示可能的方式有很多,除使用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞may/might以外,
還可以使用表示可能的形容詞和副詞。
maybe,perhaps和possibly都可以表示“大概,也許”,此時(shí)
程度相似。但maybe和perhaps常位于句首,possibly常位于句中,
maybe主要用于非正式場(chǎng)合,較口語(yǔ)化。如:
Maybe I will go with them.
也許我會(huì)和他們一起去。
Perhaps they don't know.
可能他們不知道。
There's possibly something wrong with the machine.
這臺(tái)機(jī)器可能出問題了。
possible意為“可能的”,常用于句型:
It is possible to do sth.意為“做某事是可能的”。如:
It is possible to the airport before seven.
七點(diǎn)前可能到達(dá)機(jī)場(chǎng)。
It is possible+that從句。如:
It is possible that I tell him the wrong time.
可能我告訴了他錯(cuò)誤的時(shí)間。
probably意為“很可能、大概”,可能性在這幾個(gè)詞中最大。
如:
There's probably life on other planets,but we haven't
known yet.
也許其他星球上有生命,只是我們尚不知道。
中考鏈接
1.You mustn't go off on your own,because you_D_get lost
in the mountains.(2013山東濰坊)。
A.should B.must C.need D.might
【解析】考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的用法。根據(jù)句意“你不許一個(gè)人去,因?yàn)槟?br>
可能在大山里迷路”,might意為“可能”,表猜測(cè)。故選D.
2.--Look at the boy playing basketball on the ground.
Is it George?
--It_D_be him.He told me he would play basketball after
class,but he's not sure.(2013甘肅蘭州)
A.mustn't B.must C.can't D.may
【解析】考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞表推測(cè)。上句句意:看正在操場(chǎng)上打籃球的那個(gè)男孩,
他是George?下句后一分句意思:他告訴我他下課后會(huì)去打籃球,但他不確定。
由此推斷George可能去打籃球。A不允許;B一定,表推測(cè)的可能性很大;C不
可能,表示否定猜測(cè);D可能,也許。故選D。
3.--Have you decided where to go for your summer vacation?
--Not yet.We_A_go to Qingdao.It's a good place for vacation.
(2013福建泉州)
【解析】本題考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。句意:—你已經(jīng)決定到哪里過暑假了嗎?—
還沒有呢,我們也許去青島。那是個(gè)度假的好地方。情態(tài)動(dòng)詞表示推測(cè)時(shí),
may表“可能”,must表“一定”,can't表“不可能”。
