must的否定形式must not表示“不應該”或“不許可”，而不表示“不必”。語氣比較強烈。如：

e.g.我們不應該浪費我們的時間。We mustn?t waste our time.旅客不要橫穿鐵路。Passengers must not walk across the railway line.不要錯過那部電影，它好極了。You mustn?t miss that movie, it is extremely good.12 [注]說“不必”須用need not。如：

e.g.我們必須今天交練習嗎？Must we hand in our exercises today? 不，不必今天交。No, you needn?t.must用在一般疑問句中，表達“難道你不能不(做?)的含義”，這時肯定回答用must，否定回答用needn’t 或don’t have to，不用 mustn’t。如：

e.g.“這些房間我都得清掃嗎?” “Must I clean all the rooms?”

“不必。” “No, you needn?t.” 2.must只有現在式，主要表示現在或將來，但有時也可以表示過去(多用于間接引語中)(=had to)。如：

e.g.他告訴我們在九點鐘以前都得準備好。He told us we must all be ready by nine.太晚了，回不去了，我們只有繼續往前走。It was too late to go back, we must go on.[注]have to(必須)則可以表示各種時間。如：

e.g.我看你得等一會兒。I am afraid you will have to wait a while.我每走一步都得將雙腿從雪中拔出來。At every step I had to pull my legs out of the snow.3.must也可表示說話人對事物的推測，但比may肯定得多，相當于漢語的“一定”或“準是”。通常只用于肯定句。若用于否定句或疑問句，則用 can 代之。如： e.g.那不是解決問題的唯一辦法，肯定有另外的辦法。

That can?t be the only way.There must be other ways of solving the problem.簡的房間里開著燈。她一定在家，不會出去的。Jane?s light is on.She must be at home.She can?t be out.他現在準是在圖書館。He must be in the library now.那老人準有七十多歲了。The old man must be over seventy now.她一定懂得怎樣干農活。She must know how to do farm work.你今天早餐吃得很少，現在一定餓了。

You ate very little at breakfast today.You must be hungry now.[注]must加動詞原形的進行式，也可表示對現在發生的動作的推測，有“一定”、“準是”的意思。如：

她現在一定在圖書館里看書。She must be reading in the library now.4.must加動詞原形的完成式 must+have+過去分詞，說明對過去事物的推測，表示“一定”、“準是”的意思。如：

e.g.你一定是誤會了我的意圖。You must have mistaken my intention.She must have been very young when she got married.她結婚時一定很年輕。

我是兩星期以前發的信，她一定已經收到了。

I mailed the letter two weeks ago.She must have received it.她以前一定學過英語。She must have studied English before.你怎么知道這事的？一定有人告訴你了。

How did you know about it? Somebody must have told you.5.表示“偏偏”

有時must可表示某事發生得不早不遲，就在某個當緊的時候，多指某些不受歡迎的事情的發生。如：

e.g.The car must break down just we were starting our holidays.我們剛剛開始休假，汽車偏偏壞了。(break down(機器或車輛)出故障；壞掉)Must you worry her with questions, just when she is busy cooking dinner? 她正忙著做飯你干嗎偏偏問她問題?

Just when I was busy, the neighbor must come and chatter.(['t??t?] vi.喋喋不休；嘮叨)正當我忙碌的時候，鄰居偏偏過來聊天。有時還可指主觀上的偏執或固執，常可譯為“偏”“偏要”。如： e.g.After I gave her my advice，she must go and do the opposite.在我給她出主意之后她偏要反著干。(opposite n.對立的人(或物)；對立面；反面)Must you make so much noise? 你就非得弄出這么大的聲音嗎？

have to 的用法

have to 表示“不得不”、“必須”的概念。它比must更含有“客觀條件使得必須如此做”的意思，并有較多的時態。如：

e.g.格林先生為了謀生不得不拼命干活。Mr.Green has to work very hard to earn a living.昨晚我只得早點離開晚會，我不大舒服。

I had to leave the party early last night.I wasn?t very well.我們明天必須起得很早。We will have to get up very early tomorrow.我咳嗽的厲害，今天必須去診所看看。

I shall have to go to the clinic ['klinik] today for my bad cough.[k?f] [注]口語中的I have got to, you have got to 等=I have to, you have to.Have I got to? 和 Do I have to?這兩種疑問形式均可用。

在口語中，have got to 也可以表示義務和需要。e.g.He has got to go right now.他必須馬上去。

Have you got to leave now? 現在你必須走了嗎？

have got to與have to 基本同義，兩者往往可以互換: e.g.我每天早上7點半就得離開家。I have to/have got to leave home every morning at 7:30.但是，與always, sometimes等頻度副詞連用時，用have to往往比用have got to好： e.g.我經常五點就得起床。你有時候也得5點起床嗎？

I often have to get up at 5:00.Do you ever have to get up at 5:00? have got to比have to聽上去要更加口語化一些：

e.g.你真的現在就得上床睡覺嗎？Have you really got to go to bed now? 恐怕我必須得去睡了。我明天必須一早就出發。

I?m afraid I?ve got to.I have to leave early tomorrow.must 與 have to的區別

1)兩者都表示“必須”，但must 側重于說話者的主觀看法，認為有必要或有義務去做某事；have to 則重于客觀需要，含有“不得不”“被迫”之意。如： Everyone must keep the law.人人都要守法。

The last train has gone.We?ll have to walk home.最后一班車已經開了，我們得走回家了。2)從時態方面看，must 只有現在時一種形式(在賓語從句中可以表示過去)，而 have to 則有多種時態形式。如：

我們明天必須起得很早。We will have to get up very early tomorrow.他們不得不出發。They have had to leave.另外，have to 可以有分詞、動名詞、不定式等形式，而 must 則沒有這些形式。如： It?s annoying to have to get up early on Sundays.星期日必須早起，令人惱火。

You should offer to help without my having to ask.你應該不用我請求就提供幫助。3)用于否定句時，must 的否定式 mustn?t 意為“一定不要”“不允許”；而have to的否定式don?t have to 意為“不必”(=needn?t)。比較：

You mustn?t tell him about it．你一定不要告訴他這件事。(可能是秘密)

You don?t have to tell him about it．你不必告訴他這件事。(他可能知道了)4)在表達“難道你不能不(做?)”的含義時，一般用 “Must you??”句型而不用 “Do you have to??”或 “Have you got to??”句型：

e.g.難道你非得現在就走嗎？Must you leave now? 恐怕是的。我得準備一個考試。I?m afraid so.I have to study for an exam.5)must 還可以用來表示推測：

e.g.他現在肯定在家。He must be at home now.她以前一定學過英語。She must have studied English before.15

Lesson 72

A car called bluebird

“藍鳥”汽車

First listen and then answer the question.聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。

What mistake was made?

The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour.He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah.Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him.It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine.Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run.After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour.However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made.His average speed had been 301 miles per hour.Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour.Following in his father's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up a world record.Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.New words and expressions 生詞和短語

racingn.競賽

perprep.每Utahn.猶他（美國州名）

參考譯文

杰出的賽車選手馬爾科姆.坎貝爾爵士是第一個以每小時超過300英里的速度駕車的人。他于1935年9月在猶他州的邦納維爾鹽灘創造了一項新的世界紀錄。他駕駛的“藍鳥”牌汽車是專門為他制造的。它的車身長30英尺，有一個2,500 馬力的發動機。盡管坎貝爾達到了每小時超過304英里的速度，但他很難把汽車控制住，因為在開始的行程中爆了一只輪胎。比賽結束后，坎貝爾非常失望地得知他的平均時速是299英里。然而，幾天之后，有人告訴他說弄錯了。他的平均時速實際是301英里。從那時以來，賽車選手已達到每小時600英里的速度。很多年之后，馬爾科姆爵士的兒子唐納德踏著父親的足跡，也創造了一項世界紀錄。同他父親一樣，他也駕駛著一輛名叫“藍鳥”的汽車。

Notes to the text 1.The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning.過去進行時

1.過去進行時的定義

過去進行時主要表示過去某一時刻正在進行的動作，或表示過去某一階段一直在進行的動作。如：

I was having a talk with Li Hua at that time.那時，我正在跟李華談話。

I was watching TV at home last night.昨晚我一直在看電視。2.過去進行時的結構

過去進行時由“was / were + 現在分詞”構成。如：

I was doing my lessons then.那時，我在做功課。

We were cleaning the house.我們在打掃房子。3.使用過去進行時應注意的幾點

(1)過去進行時可表示按計劃、安排過去某時刻將要發生的動作。如：

He said they were leaving for Beijing this afternoon.他說他今天下午要去北京。

(2)動詞hope, wonder等的過去進行時常用來表示提出要求，雖然表示現在的內容，但語氣比一般現在時或一般過去時要委婉。如：

I was wondering whether you could come to join us.我想你能否過來跟我們一起活動?

(3)過去進行時中有always, forever, continually, constantly修飾時，表示說話人的贊賞或厭煩的感情。如：

He was always thinking of others.他總是想到人家。4.過去進行時與一般過去時的區別

(1)過去進行時強調動作在過去某時刻正在進行或持續，而一般過去時表示動作的完成。如：

He was writing his composition last night.他昨晚在寫作文。(不一定寫完)

He wrote his composition last night.他昨晚寫了一篇作文。(已經寫完)

(2)表示過去的狀態、感覺及心理活動的靜態動詞(如be, like, love, hate, fear, own, hear, see, know, want, notice)可用于一般過去時，但通常不用于進行時。如：

I hated it when a man spoke with his mouth full of food.我討厭人們說話時口里含著食物。

(3)一般過去時與always, constantly, forever, continually等連用，表示“過去經常性、習慣性的動作”;而過去進行時與always, constantly, forever, continually等連用，表示動作的重復，常帶有感情色彩。如：

He always got up at six.他過去總是六點起床。

He was always thinking of his work.他總是一心想到工作。

(4)有時過去進行時可以用來替換一般過去時，但一般過去時表示主語的行為是經過認真考慮的;而過去進行時表示一種較隨便或沒有進行仔細考慮的行為。如：

I thought that he would agree with us.我原以為它會同意我們的。

I was thinking of persuading him to follow my advice.我想到了要說服他接受我們的建議。
