M.r Zhang,what should I do after finishing the work?
1个回答

为什么不用ought to?这也许是人们习惯了,觉得这么读顺口.如果你非要用ought to 也不是不可以.下面是这两个单词之间的区别,仅供参考:

should与ought to的比较

(1) 除表示“万一”“竟然”等只能用should外,表示“应该,应当”“可能”等,两者可互换,只是ought to的语气稍重.如:

You ought to/should work harder than that.你应当更努力地工作

She ought to/should finish it by next week.下星期她可能完成了.

You ought to/should have told him about it earlier.你本应该早点把这件事告诉他的.

You oughtn’t to/shouldn’t have wasted time like that.你本不该像那样浪费时间的.

(2) should 强调主观看法,而 ought to 强调客观要求.如:

We ought to go and see my mother in hospital tomorrow,but I don’t think we will.我们按理应当在明天去看看住院的母亲的,但我主认为我们不会去.

(3) 在公告、须知或条例中,出于礼貌,常用should.如:

You shouldn’t run alongside the swimming pool.不准在游泳池边奔跑.

(4) 在虚拟语气中只能用should.如:

He suggested that I should go there.他建议我去那里.

(5) 注意ought to的否定式与疑问式.如:

You ought not to do it.你不应该做此事.

—Ought he to start now?他现在该动身了吗?

—Yes,he ought (to) .是的,该动身了.

They ought to go now,oughtn’t they?他们现在该走了,对吗?
