Must
Must 这个词的最大特点是责任 obligation 表述:你必须如此这般,比如 you must eat to live;其否定式Mustn't = 你必须不如此这般: you mustn't smoke in here!
与Must近义的有 have to。但have to 的否定式是“don't have to"--你不必如此这般。
另一个近义词是need to: 你有必要如此这般。其否定式don't need to 或 needn't 的意思是,你没有必要如此这般,不然就是多此一举。比如: you needn't hurry:
we have plenty of time. |
