情态动词 一．情态动词的现在完成式的用法 情态动词现在完成式主要有两个功能：表示已经发生的情况和表示虚拟语气。在这两个方面must/mustn’tcan/cann’t；need/needn’t；may/mayn’t；might/mightn’t；should/shouldn’t；ought等情态动词＋完成式表示的意思是有一定区别的1．表示已经发生的情况。1）must have+过去分词，表示对已发生情况的肯定推测，译为“（昨天）一定……”。如：My pain apparent the moment I walked into the room, for the first man I met asked sympathetically:” Are you feeling all right?”[A] must be [B] had been [C] must have been [D] had to be （答案为C） 2）can’t / couldn’t have+过去分词，表示对已发生情况的否定推测，译为“（昨天）一定没……”。如：Mary my letter; otherwise she would have replied before now. [A] couldn’t have received [B] ought to have received [C] has received [D] shouldn’t have received （答案为A）3）may / might have +过去分词，表示对已发生的事情做不肯定、可能性很小的推测，或事实上根本没发生，译为“也许……”。如：At Florida Power’s Crystal River plant, a potentially serious leakage of radioactive water may have been unknowingly caused by an electrician. 2．表示虚拟语气。1) needn’t have + 过去分词，表示做了不必做的事，相当于”didn’t need to do”,译为“其实没必要……”。如： You needn’t have come over yourself. As it turned out to be a small house party, we so formally. [A] needn’t dress up [B] did not need have dressed up [C] did not need dress up [D] needn’t have dressed up (没有必要穿的那么正式，体现是说话者的建议，实际结果是否真的穿的很正式没有确定，答案为D) 2）should have +过去分词，表示应该做某事但实际上未做，译为“本应该……”should not + have过去分词表示本不应该做某事但实际上做了，译为“本不应该……”。如： I regret having left the work unfinished; I should have planned everything ahead carefully. 我本来应该事先认真地把每件事情规划的很好，但实际上作者还是没有规划好，以至工作没有完成。 3) ought to have +过去分词，表示动作按理该发生了，但实际上未发生，译为“该……”，与should 的完成式含义类似。如：he porter ought to have called the fire-brigade as soon as he saw the fire in the stock, which went up in smoke . 4) could have +过去分词，表示过去本来可以做但却未做，译为“完全可以……”。这点与ought/should/ have +过去分词用法相似。如： What you said is right, but you could have phrased it more tactfully. 5) may/ might have +过去分词，表示过去可以做但实际未做，译为“（那样）也许会……”。如：It might have been better to include more punchy statistics and photos of equipment in the introduction to further assist first-time office automation managers.二．几个情态动词常考的句型： 1)．
