College lecturer:You needn't type your essays but you must write legi… bly.
大学教师:你们不必把文章用打字机打出来,但必须字迹清楚。
2 其他表示外界权威的形式:
Tom doesn't have to wear uniform at school.
汤姆在学校不一定要穿校服。
We don't have to type our essays but we have to write legibly.
我们的文章不一定要打出来,但字迹一定要清楚。
When I'm an old age pensioner I won't have to pay any more bus fares.
等我到领取养老金的时候,我坐公共汽车就不用买票了。
Ann hasn't got to go/doesn't have to go to this lecture.Attendance is op… tional.
安不一定非去听讲。那讲座是可去可不去的。
When I have a telephone of my own I won't have to waste time waiting outside these wretched telephone boxes.
等我自己有了电话,我就不用等在讨厌的电话亭外而浪费时间了。
Ann doesn't have to cook for herself.She works at a hotel and gets all hermeals there.
安不用自己做饭吃。她在一家饭店工作,在那里用餐。
3 然而,有时need not也可以用于表示外界权威,以代替won't/ don't need to或won't/don't have to等各种形式。这种用法尤其普遍地用于第一人称:
I needn't/won't/don't have to type this report today.Mr Jones said that there was no hurry about it.
我今天不必把这个报告打出来。琼斯先生说这份报告不急着要。
请注意,虽然 need not可用来表示将来的习惯性动作:
I'm retiring.After Friday I need never go to the office again.
我就要退休了。星期五之后我就再也不必到办公室去了。
但不能用 need not表示一个现在的习惯性动作:
I don't have to queue for my bus.I get on at the terminus.
我用不着排队等公共汽车。我在首发站上车。(这里不能用need
not。)
B 过去时
如need用于过去时,说话人的权威和外界权威之间的差别就消失了,因而我们可任意运用以下三种形式:didn't have to,didn't need to和hadn't got to。这几种用法不存在含义上的差别,但 hadn't got to不常用于表示习惯性动作。 didn't have to 是最常用的:
I didn't have to wait long.He was only a few minutes late.
我没等太长时间。他只迟到了几分钟。
When he was at university he didn't have to/need to pay anything for his keep,for he stayed with his uncle.
他读大学时不需要付食宿费用,因为他与他的叔父住在一起。

151 must,have to和 need用于疑问句

==================================
  ABC Amber CHM Converter v6。22
  Trial version
==================================
need?和must?都意味着说话的对方是有关的权威。need?还包含着说话人希望得到否定回答的含义:Must I go,moth… er?和Need I go,mother?含义相同,但在后一问句中,说话人希望他的母亲回答说“不”。need的另一种疑问式do I need?等也有同样的用法。注意以下各种可能的回答:
—Shall I have to go?
—Yes,you will./No,you won't.
—我必须去吗?
—是的,必须去。/不,不必去。
—Have I got to go?
—Yes,you have./No,you haven't.
—我必须去吗?
—是的,必须去。/不,不必去。
—Does he have to go?
—Yes,he does./No,he doesn't
—他必须去吗?
—是的,必须去。/不,不必去。
—Need I go?
—Yes,you must./No,you needn't.
—我需要去吗?
—是的,必须去。/不,不需要去。
—Must I go?
—Yes,you must./No,you needn't.
—我必须去吗?
—是的,必须去。/不,不需要去。

152 needn't+完成式

这个结构用来表示虽然不必要但却已完成的动作:
I needn't have written to him because he phoned me shortly afterwards.
我本来不需要给他写信,因为不久之后他就给我打了电话。(但我的确写了,因而浪费了时间。)
You needn't have brought your umbrella for we are going by car.
你本来不用带雨伞,因为我们将要坐车去。(但是你却多余地带了伞。)
He needn't have left home at 6:00;the train doesn't start till 7:30.
他本不必6点就离开家;火车7点30分才出发。(因此他要等一个小时。)

153 needn't have(done)和didn't have/
need(to do)的比较

A needn't have done意指没必要干某件事但多余地干了,即浪费了时间:
You needn't have watered the flowers,for it is going to rain.
你本不必浇那些花,因为就要下雨了。(你浪费了时间。)
You needn't have written such a long essay.The teacher only asked for
300 words,and you have written 600.
你本不必写这么长的文章。老师只要求写300个字而你却写了600个字。
He needn't have bought such a large house.His wife would have been quite happy in a cottage.
他没必要买这么大一所房子。他的妻子住在一个小房子里也会感到很满意的。(浪费了钱)
You needn't have carried all these parcels yourself.The shop would have delivered them if you had asked them.
你本来没有必要自己拿着这些大包小裹的。要是当时你跟商店说一声,他们就会把东西送来的。
B didn't have/need to do意指不一定非干某事,而通常也并没有这样做:
I didn't have to translate it for him for he understands Dutch.
我用不着替他翻译,因为他懂荷兰语。
I didn't have to cut the grass myself.My brother did it.
我用不着自己修剪草坪。我的兄弟修剪过了。(无义务,而且无行动)有些人的确把didn't have to/didn't need to用于表示已完成的动作,这时 have或 need都要加以重读:You didn't 'have to give him my name通常意味着没有必要告诉他我的姓名,但是你却告诉了他。但当一个不必要的动作实际已完成了时,还是用needn't have+过去分词为好:
You needn't have given him my name.
你本来没必要把我的姓名告诉他的。

154 needn't,could和should+完成式

A needn't+完成式常常和could+完成式结合使用。这种用法最好通过例句来说明:
—I wanted a copy of the letter,so I typed it twice.
—You needn't have typed it twice.You could have used a carbon.
—我需要那封信的副本,所以我打了两遍字。
—你没必要打两遍。你当时本可以用复写纸打。
—I walked up six flights of stairs.
—You needn't have walked up;you could have taken the lift.
—我爬了六层楼梯。
—你没必要走着上去;你本来可以乘电梯的。
—She stood in a queue to get an Underground ticket.
—But she needn't have stood in a queue.She could have got a ticket from the machine.
—她排队买一张地铁车票。
—可她本来不需要排队。她本可以在售票机那儿买票。
B needn’t have和 should have的比较
should或ought to在以上A的例句中都可以代替need或could:
She shouldn't have stood in a queue.She should have got tickets from the machine.
她本来就不该去排队。她应当在售票机那儿买票。
但这里存在着含义上的差别:
She shouldn't have stood in a queue.
她本来就不该去排队。(她排队是错误的或愚蠢的。)
She needn't have stood in a queue.
她本不必去排队。(这样做是不必要的,但她却排了队。)
shouldn't have(done)有批评之意。
needn't have(done)不含有批评之意。

155 need意指require(需要)

如第149节所示,need可以像普通动词那样变化。此时它有
通常的各种规则的变化形式,但没有进行式。
need可以和带to的不定式连用,或者和作宾语的名词/代词连用:
I need to know the exact size.
我需要知道确切的尺寸。
How much money do you need?I need £
5.你需要多少钱?我需要五英镑。
need可以和不定式的被动式或动名词连用
Your hair needs to be cut/needs cutting.
你需要理发了。
The windows need to be washed/need washing.
这些窗户需要擦洗了。
这里可以用want+动名词代替:
Your hair wants cutting.
你需要理发了。

157 must与may/might的比较

它们之间的差别最好通过实例来了解:
(a)设想一个钥匙环上有三把钥匙,而且知道其中一把钥匙是开地下室的门的。可能选出一把钥匙说:
This may/might be the key.
可能就是这一把钥匙。(也许这是那把钥匙。)
但一连试了两把钥匙都没打开锁,就会拿起第三把钥匙说:

一定是这把钥匙。(不存在别的选择了。)
