ought to+原形動詞表示義務(wù)、勸告或推測等意義,意思是"應(yīng)該…". I am tired. I ought to sit here for a while. 我累了,我應(yīng)該休息一會兒。 表示否定時,not放在ought之後。在美語中,在否定句中,ought之後的不定詞符號to??墒÷?。 Hey, boy, you oughtn't (to) sleep here. Get up! 嘿,孩子,你不應(yīng)該躺在這兒。起來! 在美語中,在疑問句中,ought之後的不定詞符號to常可省略。 Ought you (to) do it? 你應(yīng)該這麼做嗎? had better衹有一種形式,不是表示過去,而是指現(xiàn)在或未來,表示曏對方提出勸告或警告。had better+原形不定詞表示"最好……". You had better give up smoking. 你最好把菸戒掉。 had better的否定形式是had better not. You had better not throw it on the ground. 你最好別把它扔在地上。 had better很少用於疑問句,但有時爲(wèi)了表示忠告或建議而用否定疑問句,這時否定副詞not位於主語之後。 Had you better not talk to yourself? 你不要自言自語好不好?
