(答案在文末)
Unit 33 need not V 或 need not to V?
“need” 相信大家都知道有動詞「需要」的意思。
但你知道用於否定時,我們說的「不需要/不必…」可以直接加”not" 嗎?
need 意為「需要」,可當一般動詞也可當助動詞,用法如下:
need not + 原形動詞 不必……
例 Tom is at fault, so you need not to apologize to him. (X)
→ Tom is at fault, so you need not apologize to him. (O)
(湯姆有錯,因此你不必向他道歉。)
例 I’m on leave today, so my wife needs not to mop the floor. I will do it for her. (X)
→ I’m on leave today, so my wife need not / needn’t mop the floor. I will do it for her. (O)
(我今天休假,因此我老婆不必拖地板。我幫她做就行了。)
need to + 原形動詞 有必要……
例 Jay need to finish the work now. (X)
→ Jay needs to finish the work now. (O) (阿傑現在需要完成工作。)
例 Tom is at fault, so you need not apologize to him. (O)
助動詞
= Tom is at fault, so you don’t need to apologize to him. (O)
動詞
例 I’m on leave today, so my wife need not mop the floor. I’ll do it for her. (O)
助動詞
= I’m on leave today, so my wife doesn’t need to mop the floor. I’ll do it for her. (O)
動詞
注意 “didn’t need to + 原形動詞” 與 “needn’t have + 過去分詞” 的不同。
didn’t need to + 原形動詞 當時沒必要做某事,也就未做此事
needn’t have + 過去分詞 當時沒必要做某事,卻做了此事(與過去事實相反的假設語氣)
例 It was Sunday yesterday, so John didn’t need to go to school. He stayed home listening to music.
昨天是星期天,因此約翰沒必要到學校去上學。他待在家聽音樂。
例 I’ve already cleaned the dishes, so you needn’t have washed them again. (But you washed them again.)
我已經清洗過這些碗筷了,因此你就不必再清洗了。(不過你卻又清洗了一遍。)
答案: (A)
