不知不覺教堂上方的時鐘已經指向了11:30,可新郎be going to 還不見人影。維爾姑娘雖然一句話也不說,可臉上露出了焦急的神態(tài)。這時,大家又七嘴八舌猜測起了新郎的行蹤。這次,must 首先開口。 must: be going to 那么會計劃打算,平時都很少遲到,所以我認為他一定是逃婚了!他現(xiàn)在一定和別的女孩在一起! (He must run away . He must be staying with other girls.) must 的話一出口,就像一顆重磅炸彈一樣,把大家的心都炸亂了。can 姑娘馬上反對,因為她最討厭must 自以為是的樣子,明明是猜測,卻總是說“一定是如何如何了。”好像她的猜測是真的一樣。所以can 就和must 唱對臺戲,總是說“不可能如何如何!”今天可是把她氣壞了,must 這個當姐姐的,怎么能在will 的婚禮上說出這樣的話! can: 你胡說,be going to 那么愛will, 他不可能逃婚的!說完,就向could 使眼色。 could: 對對對!他不可能逃婚的。could 趕緊隨聲附和。她可不敢違抗can。 (He can't /couldn't run away.) may 姑娘一看倆姐姐吵起來了,趕緊過來圓場。她總是那么辯證客觀,一分為二。 May:別吵了,婚姻不是兒戲,他可能不會逃婚,但可能是路上堵車了。你們瞎嚷嚷什么呀。 (He may not run away. He may be on a busy traffic.) could/might: 對對對,may 說得對,也有可能他忘了領帶放哪里了,可能正在找領帶呢。她們不擅長猜測,就隨便說出個想法。 (He could/might forget where the tie is, and he could be looking for it everywhere.) 不過,這句話把will 姑娘也逗樂了。will 是個浪漫的姑娘,只憧憬未來,很少對現(xiàn)在的事進行猜測。但今天是她大喜的日子,她也堅定地說了句話。 will :他一定不會逃婚的,他一定是在忙著為婚禮儀式準備呢。(He won't run away, he will be preparing for the wedding. ) 善良的should 姑娘也說道:別著急,他應該是在路上呢。(He should be on the way to the wedding.) 到底be going to 會不會逃婚呢?我們下次再談。 關于情態(tài)動詞家的姑娘們七嘴八舌的猜測議論,語法國的王子做了如下記錄: 愛對現(xiàn)在做猜測的姑娘:must , cann't, couldn't, may, (may not), might, ( might not), could. 可以但很少對現(xiàn)在做猜測的姑娘:will (won't ) , should (shouldn't) 姑娘們對現(xiàn)在做猜測時以這樣的面貌出現(xiàn):1. modal + do, 2. modal + be doing 1. He must run away. (自信滿滿:一定是……) 2. He can't/couldn't run away.(堅決否定:不可能……) 3. He may run away. He may not run away.(辯證客觀:可能……,可能不……) 4. He might run away. He might not run away. (不擅長:也許……,也許不……) 5.
