Just as I was getting better, what must I do but break my leg.

4) must have done 对过去事情的一种肯定性判断

. 我找不到我的包了，它一定是已经被偷了。I can’t find my bag. It must have been stolen.

4. could和might (注：不是can和may的过去式)

1) could比较委婉客气地提出问题或陈述看法，不是can的过去式。

. 我能看你的执照吗Could I see your license (更委婉) Can I see your license 你能借我你的自行车吗Could you lend me your bike (更委婉)

Can you lend me your bike

2) might代替may, 表示可以做的事或可能发生的事，语气更客气些，委婉些。

. 我能要一张你婴儿的照片吗Might I ask for a photograph of your baby (更委婉)

May I ask for a photograph of your baby

你不妨把心里的话都说出来好了。You might as well speak your mind.

注：might用来表示现在时，还可表示“规劝”。如：

. 你要更多地注意英语口语。You might pay more attention to spoken English.

关上窗户吧。外面风很大。You might shut the windows. The wind is blowing so hard outside.

3) might as well/may as well 还是…的好

may as well/might as well + do意思是“还是…好，不妨”较勉强，不是非常乐意，不得不选一个。两者一般可以互换。

. –Do you think you’ll pass the exam 你认为你会通过考试吗

--I’ll never pass. I might as well give up.我决不会通过考试的，我还是放弃的好。

--Do you want to come to the cinema with me 你想和我一起看电影去吗

--I haven’t got anything to do, so I may as well / might as well come with you.

我没什么事可做，还是和你一块去吧。

注：

can/could/may/might表示请求或允许，多用于口语中，意为“可以、能”等。

这里could / might 是代替can/may 的一种比较委婉地提出请求的方法。时间上是现在时。如：

You can/could/may/might go home now. 现在你可以回家了。

You can/could/may/might go to the cinema this evening. 你今晚可以去看电影。-- Can/Could/May/Might I use your ruler 我可以用一下你的尺子吗

--Of course, you can/may.你当然可以。（不可用could或might）

--Yes, please. / Certainly [?s?:tnli] / Of course. 等。

这些肯定答语显得热情、客气。

否定：No, you can’t/may not. 不，你不可以。（不用could not或might not）

拒绝对方时，其答语可以用 No, you mustn’t. / No, you can’t. 或 Sorry，you can’t. / No, please don’t. 等说法。

. 我可以把这本书拿出阅览室吗---不行。

May I take this book out of the reading-room—No, you mustn’t.

Lesson 26 The best art critics最佳艺术评论家 Who is the student's best critic? I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday. 'What are you doing?' she asked. 'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?' She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?' I looked at it again. She was right! It was! 参考译文 我是个学艺术的学生，画了很多画。有很多人装成很懂现代艺术的样子，总是告诉你一幅画的“意思”是什么。当然，有很多画是什么“意思”也没有的。它们就是些好看的图案，我们喜爱它们就像我们喜欢漂亮的窗帘布一样。我觉得小孩子们往往比任何人都更能欣赏现代绘画，他们观察到的东西更多。我的妹妹只有7岁，但她总能说出我的画是好还是坏。昨天她到我房里来了。 【New words and expressions】（13） art

Lesson 19 A very dear cat 一条贵重的宝贝猫 Listen to the tape then answer the question below. Why was Rastus 'very dear' in more ways than one? Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals, but they recently took considerable interest in Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay's cat. Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady, has shared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years. Rastus leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the evenings and is always home by seven o'clock. One evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs. Ramsay got very worried. She looked everywhere for him but could not find him. Three days after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous letter. The writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs. Ramsay paid a ransom of ￡1,000. Mrs. Ramsay was instructed to place the money in a cardboard box and to leave it outside her door. At first, she decided to go to the police, but fearing that she would never see Rastus again -- the letter had made that quite clear -- she changed her mind. She withdrew ￡1000 from her bank and followed the kidnapper's instructions. The next morning, the box had disappeared but Mrs. Ramsay was sure that the kidnapper would keep his word. Sure enough, Rastus arrived punctually at seven o'clock that evening. He looked very well though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a bottle of milk. The police were astounded when Mrs. Ramsay told them what she had done. She explained that Rastus was very dear to her. Considering the amount she paid, he was dear in more ways than one! 1.dear adj. (dearer, dearest) 1. (~to sb.) loved by or important to sb. 亲爱的; 宝贵的；珍视的 e.g.（1）他是我最亲密的朋友之一。 He is one of my dearest friends. (2) 他的女儿是他心爱的宝贝。 His daughter is very dear to her. 2. (Dear) used at the beginning of a letter before the name or title of the person that you are writing to(用于信函抬头的名字或头衔前)亲爱的 3. [not usually before noun] (BrE)expensive; costing a lot of money 昂贵，价格高 e.g.现在什么东西都那么贵。 Everything is so dear now. n. 1. used when speaking to sb. you love (常作称呼所爱的人)亲爱的 e.g. 喝点什么吗，亲爱的？ Would you like a drink, dear? adv. (at a high price)高价地,昂贵地 e.g. (1) 他的错误使他付出很高的代价。 His errors cost him dear. (2) 贱买贵卖

She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post office.

Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady, has shared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years. Rastus leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the evenings and is always home by seven o'clock. One evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs. Ramsay got very worried. She looked everywhere for him but could not find him. Three days after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous letter. The writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs. Ramsay paid a ransom of $1,000.

At first she decided to go to the police, but fearing that she would never see Rastus again-the letter had made that quite clear-she changed her mind.

The police were astounded when Mrs. Ramsay told them what she had done. She explained that Rastus was very dear to her. Considering the amount she paid, he was dear in more ways than one!
