单词 | ought to(should) |
释义 | ought to : should — 646 表达责任和义务,这两个情态动词几乎是同义并可通用,只是前者的语气要比后者强势一些——当然,其它如音韵、节奏、习惯用法等方面也应加以考虑。 例如: George irritated him by saying he ought to see a doctor. 乔治说了一句他应该去看医生,这句话就惹他生了气。 ( ought to 要重读) His people shouldn't have put him into this particular regiment. 他的部下不该拥戴他到特种兵团那里去。 ( should 不一定要重读) Well, he ought to be ashamed of himself. 可是,他总该感到羞耻吧。(态度比较严正) People who live in glass house should not throw stones. 责人须先责己。(态度比较温和) I feel that I ought to apologize. 我总觉得我理应道歉。(语气较强) Children should be seen, not heard. 对孩子要观其行,不要听其言。(语气较弱) |
