2015年职称英语考试也开始渐渐拉开序幕,网校编辑特意整理了职称英语考试相关复习内容,希望对您有所帮助,祝您学习愉快!

(1)can,could,may,might都可以表示可能性。can,could表示潜在的可能性或理论上或逻辑判断上存在的可能性;而may,might则表示事实上的可能性。此外,can还具有"有能力”的意思,而may与might则不具此意。例如:

1)According to the weather forecast,it may rain tomorrow.

2) Any man with a little sense can see that he is wrong.

(2)May I/we …?这一类疑问句的肯定回答为Yes,please.或Certainly;否定回答为Please don't.或No,you mustn't. 例如:

May we leave now?

No,you mustn't. You haven't finished your home work yet.

4. can 和 be able to

can 与 be able to 都可以表示能力,但两者在用法上有点差异:can (could)表示主观能力,不表示意愿,它的将来时用will be able to; be able to表示主观意愿,强调要克服困难去做某事。例如:

1)My grandma is over seventy,but she can still read without glasses.

2)He is able to give up his bad habits.

5. must 和 have to

must 和 have to 都可以表示"必须”,但有几点区别:

(1)must 强调"内在的职责”、"义务”,而have to 强调"外界压力”、"不得已而为之”。

(2)have to可用于多种时态,而must一般用于现在时,其过去时与将来时分别由had to与shall/will have to代替。

(3)在回答must引起的问题时,如果是否定的答复,不能用mustn't,而要用needn't或don't have to,因为mustn't是"一定不要”、"一定不能”的意思。例如:

1)You must come to the classroom before eight.

2)It is raining hard outside,but I have to leave now.

3)"Must we do it now?""No,you needn't."
