◇ 用 may as well 給予建議
may as well 與 might as well 兩者都可用來表示「給予建議」，中文是「最好；還是...好了；倒不如；寧願」的意思。假如在一個沒有更好的替代方案的情況下，可以用它們來表示我們認為最簡單或是最符合邏輯的行動、行為是什麼。它們都屬於較不正式的用法。另外，may as well 還能用來表示一件假設的事情就好像真的發生了一樣，中文類似於「跟...沒兩樣」。注意，這兩種用法中，may as well 都傳達了一種，「倒不如，或是最快最直接的方式」的概念。
Example：
1. We don't know anyone here and they're discussing stuff that doesn't concern us. We might as well leave.
我們在這裡一個人都不認識，而且他們也在討論與我們無關的事。我們還不如離開。
2. I think if it's a choice between a job and a place at college, you may as well take the job. At least you'll earn some money.
我想假如你是要在一份工作與大學學歷之間做選擇，你最好是選擇工作，至少你能賺一點錢。
3. The road was open again, but may as well have remained closed; such were the delays.
這條道路重新開啟了，但不如維持關閉吧，都已經延遲那麼久了。
