Lesson 17 Always young
    課文內(nèi)容:
    My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asked her how old she is, she always answers, ‘My dear, it must be terrible to be grown up!'
    本文語法:情態(tài)動(dòng)詞must和have to的用法
    語法歸納:must通常表示主觀上的“必須”,have to通常表示客觀上的“不得不”。
    1)has / have to = has / have got to,后者常常用于口 語中。
    2)has / have to 的過去式為had to。
    例如:You must clean your own room.你必須打掃你的房間了。
    I have to leave at 6 o’clock this afternoon.今天下午六點(diǎn)鐘我必須得走。

    1)“had to (have to的過去式)+動(dòng)詞原形”表示過去不得不做某事:had to wear (過去) 不得不穿;had to finish(過去)不得不完成
    試譯:今天早上,我不得不等了他三個(gè)小時(shí)。
