Lesson 19 Sold out 票已售完

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

When will the writer see the play?

'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.

'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.

I hurried to the ticket office. 'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.

'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.

'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.

Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.

'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.

'Certainly,' the girl said.

I went back to the ticket office at once.

'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.

'Certainly,' the girl said, 'but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still want them?'

'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.

參考譯文

“對不起, 票已售完. “那位姑娘說.

“真可惜!” 蘇珊大聲說.

正在這時, 一個男子匆匆奔向售票處.

“我可以退掉這兩張票嗎?” 他問.

我馬上又回到售票處.

“我可以買那兩張票嗎?” 我問.

“當然可以, 不過這兩張票是下星期三的, 您是否還要呢?”

“我還是買下的好, “我垂頭喪氣地說.

【課文講解】

at any moment : 在任何時候, 隨時

at the moment : =now

at that moment : =just then 就在那時

I will help you at any time.我隨時都會幫你

may+動詞原形　 “可能”

may (must,can't) have done……對過去的推測

must,can't,may+動詞原形, 表示對現(xiàn)在、未來的推測

must : 一定, 很可能　　She must be a model.

may : 有可能 She may be a model.

can't : 不可能 She can't be a model.

She must(may,can't) have been a model.

I must have watched TV.

I may have watched TV.

I can't have watched TV.

I hurried to the ticket office. 匆忙地

May I do...? 我可以嗎?(用 “may” 表示 “我可以嗎?” , 只能與第一人稱相連)

have 是最活躍的詞, 可以指任何的意思.

have coffee : 喝咖啡

have ticket : 買票　(習慣用法)

I'll have/take sth.　我買...(一般不用 “buy” , 習慣用法)

sell out : 賣完了

what a pity!　真令人遺憾!

Can(May) I...? 我可以...嗎?

Can you...? 你可以...嗎?(第二人稱不能用 “may” 來表示 “你可以....嗎?” , 只能用 “can you....?” )

Could I...? 我現(xiàn)在可以...嗎?(在問句中更委婉的說法, 比can I 更禮貌些)

they指tickets

for next Wednesday's performance

用名詞所有格來取代時間 : “...時間的”

用介詞for, 起修飾作用

ticket for+事情

ticket to+地點

May I have a ticket to Tianjing?

May I have a ticket for the sports meeting?

May I have a ticket ? (英文中的問句, 常常起禮貌作用)

May I have your name? 比 “What’s your name?” 更有禮貌些

still : 還……可以和任意時態(tài)連用

still, yet……都和完成時態(tài)連用(原先認為)

want them 注意連讀

might as well,may as well+動詞原形, “還是...好” (無可奈何)

had better : “最好” +動詞原形(積極心態(tài))

I might as well take the umbrella with me.

共有的概念 “推測”

十七課 : 對現(xiàn)在的推測

十九課 : 對現(xiàn)在和過去的推測

不在于must,may,can't是什么時態(tài), 而在于后面加的是原形還是have done.

加原形是對現(xiàn)在的推測, 加have done對過去的推測.

may : ⑴推測 “可能”

⑵ “可以” May I do sth.? 我可以做某事嗎?

⑶ may,might(can,could) 對語氣的強弱

I. 除了 “might” “could” 是 “may” “can” 的過去式的概念外

II. 在表達 “可以... 嗎?” 時, 可以用 “might” “could” 替換 “may” “can” , 而區(qū)別在于語氣上更委婉些

III. 在表示 “推測” 句型中, 并不用 “might” “could” 來表示對過去的推測, 只能是 “推測” 的可能性比 “may” “can” 更小些的意思, must->may->might->can’t(推測的可能性語氣下降)

may as well=might as well “還是...好”

上述所講是對現(xiàn)在和未來的推測, 對過去的推測要用虛擬語氣
