Lesson 17 Always young 青春常駐

My aunt Jennifer is an actress.

(我的姑姑Jennifer 是一位演員。)

She must be at least thirty-five years old.

(她至少有35歲了。must be : 一定是---對現在情況的推測,帶有一定的肯定)

In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl.

(儘管如此,她常常在舞臺上扮演小姑娘)

Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon.

(Jennifer 很快又要參加一個新劇的演出。)

This time, she will be a girl of seventeen.

(這一次,她將扮演一個17歲的女孩)

In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.

(演出時,她必須穿一條鮮紅的裙子和黑色的長筒襪。must 現在時態:表示必須、不得不)

Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress.

(去年在另外一個劇中,她不得不穿短襪和一件橘紅色的衣服。had to 過去時:表示必須、不得不)

If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she always answers, ‘Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up! ’

(如果有人問她的年齡,她總是回答:親愛的,長大成人真是可怕。)

{語法}

must: 情態動詞,常常用來表示不可逃避的義務,在說話人是沒有選擇的。

have to 或者 have got to 可以代替 must,一般可以互換。have to 可以和更多的時態連用。

比如:He said he must leave early.

可以這樣說:He said he would have to leave early.
