情態動詞


  我們用「情態動詞」表達某事是一定、有可能、或不可能發生,也可以用來說明做什麼事的能力、提出請求、要求或是供應某些事物。比如說:One's interests are put aside and one may imaginatively fuse with transient or natural things: trees, the wind, a moth, clouds, or waves breaking on the shore.,這表示處於高層意識狀態下,你有機會,並更有能力也更被允許與那些稍縱即逝的事物融合。講者也使用 "might" 來表達某事發生是有可能的。


Example:


1. I know you can drive the car, but you may not.

  我知道你會開車,但不准你開。


2. I told them I might go on Saturday since chances are very slim that I actually will.

  我告訴他們我有可能周六會去,因為我會去的機會滿小的。


3. She said she could help us, but that doesn't mean that she will.

  她說她可能可以幫我們,不代表她真的會。
