C 带星号的 have to 各形式间的区别
have to(不带 got)与否定式 don't/doesn't have to 是表示习惯性行动的正确形式,但也可以用于表示一次性行动。在美国英语中是普遍使用的。
have(got)to 和 haven't(got)to 只用于表示一次性行动:
Tom:I have to go to work every day except Sunday.But I don't have to
work a full day on Saturday.
汤姆:除了星期天外我必须每天去上班,但星期六我不必干一整天。但在星期天他可以说:
I'm glad I haven't(got to go to work today./I'm glad I don't have to go to work today.
我真高兴,今天不必上班。
过去式 didn't have to 既可表示过去的习惯,也可表示一次性行动。
hadn't(got)to 多用于表示一次性行动。
didn't have to 是较为普遍的形式。
have to 在肯定句中表示“义务”。
have to 在否定句中表示“无义务”。这种意思也可由 need not,don't need 等来表示。(参见第 149节。) |
