新概念英语第二册lesson 16 　A polite request

If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden,I found this note on my car:' Sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking 1" area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder 2.' If you receive a request 4 like this, you can-not fail to obey it!

参考译文



一旦你把汽车停错了地方，交通警察很快就会发现。如果他没给你罚单就放你走了，算你走运。然而，情况并不都是这样，交通警察有时也很客气。有一次在瑞典度假，我发现我的车上有这样一个字条：“先生，欢迎您光临我们的城市。此处是‘禁止停车’区。如果您对我们街上的标牌稍加注意，您在此会过得很愉快的。谨此提请注意。”如果你收到这样的恳求，你是不会不遵照执行的！

He borrowed at least five books from the library.

他从图书馆至少借了5本书。

If you can't clean the car, you can at least help me to clean it.

如果你不能擦车，你至少可以帮我擦。

（2）我们已学过两种年龄表示法。一种是“数字+years old”，作表语：

My father is fifty-seven, years old now.

我父亲现在已57岁了。

另一种是“数字+ -year-old”，作定语：

Last week, my four-year-old daughter, Sally, was in

vited to a children's party.

上周，我4岁的女儿萨莉应邀去参加一个儿童晚会。

2．In spite 7 of this…

尽管如此……

（1）in spite of为固定短语，意为“不管”、“尽管”，后面可以跟名词、代词或从句：

尽管下雨，他们还是继续旅行。

In spite of what you have said about her, she is much better than Mary.

不管你说她什么，她比玛丽要好得多。

（2）this 代指上句话，即“她至少也有35岁”这个事实。

3．This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. 这一次，她将扮演一个17岁的少女。

be在这里是“扮演”的意思：

Tonight, Karen Marsh 9 is Helen.

今晚卡伦·马什扮演海伦。

4．In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings 10. 演出时她必须穿一条鲜红色的裙子和黑色的长筒袜。

有许多朋友是件令人愉悦的事。

（2）这句话的言外之意是她还没有长成大人，还是个小姑娘，因为她用的是表示推测的 must。（cf. 本课语法

　　语法 Grammar in use

情态助动词 must

（1） must 一般译为“必须”，可以表示“必要”、“命令或强制”、“邀请”、“决心”、“不可推卸的责任”等多种含义。它没有时态和人称变化，通常只用于现在时和将来时。在其他时态中，must的有些含义可以由have to或 have got to来补足。这 3种形式一般可以互换，但彼此是有差别的。用于第一人称时，have to和have got to强调客观的要求或外在的原因，must则强调主观的要求或表示说话的人认为自己有权做某事：

I have to look after the baby.

我得照管这孩子。（因为客观原因）

I must see the boss 13.

我必须见老板。（主观要求）

They must leave (tomorrow).

他们（明天）必须出发。

They had to leave.

他们（当时）不得不出发。（过去时中用 have to 代替）

They have had to leave.

（2）have to和 have got to往往可以互换：

I have to/have got to leave home every morning at 7:30.

我每天早上7点半就得离开家。

但是，与always，sometimes 等频度副词连用时，用have to往往比用have got to好：

I often have to get up at 5. Do you ever have to get up at 5?

我经常5点就得起床。你有时候也得5点起床吗？

have got to比have to听上去要更加口语化一些：

（3）在表达“难道你不能不（做……）”的含义时，一般用“Must you…？”句型而不用“Do you have to…？”或“Have you got to…？”句型：

(4）must还可以用来表示推测：

He must be at home now.

他现在肯定在家。

He must be mad to drive anywhere today!

他今天居然开车出去，真是疯了！
