★Text
Sold out 'The play may begin at any moment,'I said.'It may have begun already,'Susan answered.I hurried to the ticket office.'May I have two tickets please?'I asked.'I'm sorry,we've sold out,'the girl said.'What a pity!'Susan exclaimed.Just then,a man hurried to the ticket office.'Can I return these two tickets?'he asked.'Certainly,'the girl said.I went back to the ticket office at once.'Could I have those two tickets please?'I asked.'Certainly,'the girl said,'but they're for next Wednesday's performance.Do you still want them?''I might as well have them.'I said sadly.
☆at any moment:在任何时候,随时 at the moment=now at that moment=just then:就在那时
☆have是最活跃的词,可以指任何的意思 have coffee:喝咖啡 have a ticket:买票(习惯用法) I'll have/taken sth.我买……
☆sell out:卖完
☆for next Wednesday's performance 用名词所有格取代时间。“……时间的” ticket for+事情 May I have a ticket for the sports meeting? ticket to+地点 May I have a ticket to Tianjin?
☆still:还,可以和任意时态连用
☆might(may) as well+动词原形:“还是……好”(无可奈何) had better+动词原形:“最好” (积极心态) eg:天看上去要下雨了:I had better take an umbrella. 已经下了,非带不可:I might as well take the umbrella with me. [注]只是针对现在、未来。不用于过去时,过去时的是虚拟语气
★Key structures “推测” 对什么时候的推测不在于must,may,can't是什么时态,而在于后面加的是原形还是have done must,may,can't+动词原形:对现在、未来的推测 must,may,can't+have done:对过去的推测 must:一定,很可能;may:有可能;can't:不可能
may的用法: 1.推测“可能”:might比may语气弱 must>may>might>can't 2.可以:might比may委婉 May (Might) I...? 我可以……吗?(只能和第一人称连用) Can(May) I...? Can you...? Could I...?(更委婉的说法)
