【Text】
My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on
the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of
seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play,
she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she
always answers, 'Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!'

的長筒襪. 去年在演另一個劇時, 她不得不穿短襪和一件鮮艷的橘紅色的衣服. 一旦有人問起她有多大年

【Key structures】
情態助動詞must
Must 譯為“必須”，可以表示“必要，命令或強制，邀請，決心，不可推卸的責任”等多處含義。它
沒有時態和人稱變化，通常只用于現在時和將來時。在其他時態時，must的有些含義可以用have to或have
got to。這三種形式一般可以互換，但用于第一人稱時，have to(have got to)強調客觀的要求或外在的原因，
must 則強調主觀的要求或表示說話的人認為自己有權做某事。
have to 和have got to往往可以互換，但與always，sometimes 等頻度副詞連用時，用have to往往比用
havt got to 好。have got to比have to更口語化。
在過去時的句子中, 要用have to 來表示“必須”，have to可以有任意時態
She will have to… ；She had to… ； She has/I have had to…
have to作為實義動詞, 否定式為don't have to；will not have to；didn't have to
在表達“難道你不能不（做……）”時，一般用“Must you…?”，而不用“Do you have to…?”
Must you leave now? 難道你非得現在就走嗎？
I’m afraid so. I have to study for an exam.
must可以表示推測，must do表示對現在的推測；must have done表示對過去的推測
He must be mad.
在I think…/he thinks…的從句中，一定要用事實說話. (不能說成“I think he must be a fool.” )
must be的否定式為can’t be（不可能）：
Someone’s using the phone, it must be John.
It can’t be John. He promised me he wouldn’t use it today.
【Special Difficulties】
As的用法
① 作為介詞，可以表示“作為”、“以……身份”等
In this film, he appeared as a policeman.
As a mechanic, he can’t always keep himself clean.
② 作為連詞，可以表示“因為”、“正當……時候”、“以……方式”或“如同……那樣”等
You must take care of the bady tomorrow as I am going to London.（因為，由于）
As we were talking about him, he knocked at the door.（正當……時候）
Do as you are told. 叫你怎么做就怎么做(按你被告知的那樣去做)（以……方式）
