句式解读
1.(P41)I must have tried a dozen times before I caught you here.
【翻译】我肯定打了十几次电话才在这里碰到你。
【句式剖析】
在句中must have tried表示对过去情况的推测,意为“一定试过了”,语气非常肯定。
【归纳拓展】
(1)“should have+过去分词”表示过去该做而没有做的事情。它含有责备的语气。其中,should可换用ought to(即ought to have+过去分词),意思不变。
You should/ought to have been here five minutes ago.
你应该在五分钟之前到达这里的。
(2)“could have+过去分词”表示过去本来能够做但是没有做成的事。
He could have passed the entrance examination last year.
他去年本来可以考上大学的。
(3)“must have+过去分词”表示过去一定做过某事,一种很有把握的推测,意为“一定”。注意:这个句型不可直接在must的后面加not构成否定式。
It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet.
昨天晚上一定下过雨,因为地上是湿的。
(4)“can’t/couldn’t have+过去分词”也用来表示对过去情况的推测,意为“不可能做过某事”。第(3)个句型的否定式要用本句型表示其否定意义。
It can’t have rained last night.
昨天晚上不可能下了雨。
(5)“may/might have+过去分词”表示对过去情况的一种不太有把握的推测,意为“或许/可能做过某事”。may的可能性又比might大些。He hasn’t turned up yet; he may/might have been ill.
他还没有来。他可能病了。
