must, have to的用法

表示必须:have to强调客观的必要性,而must着重说明主观看法。例如:

  • You mustn’t phone him this evening.(你今晚一定不要给他打电话。)
  • My mother is ill. I have to look after her at home.(妈妈病了,我得在家照看她。)

表示推测:我们可以使用”must”来表示对某种情况的推测,意思是准是或一定是。例如:

  • He must be writing a letter to his girlfriend.(他一定在给他女朋友写信。)
  • must have read that in some book.(我肯定是在某本书上读过这个。)
