【教材原句】Jason Harley decided to drop out of this kind of lifestyle, and he discovered that having only a little money made him free.杰森·哈利决定放弃这种生活方式,并且他发现只拥有一点钱就让他自由。(教材P31)

知识点22. 情态动词+have+过去分词
【教材原句】I could have become angry or defensive.我本可以生气或者辩解一下的。(教材P36)
“情态动词+have+过去分词”的用法:
(1)must have done表示对过去行为的推测,意为“一定做过”,语气十分肯定;
(2)may/might have done表示对过去行为的推测,意为“可能做过”。might所表示的可能性比较弱,语气较委婉。might have done还可表示“本可以做某事而实际未做”;
(3)can/could have done表示对过去某种情况的怀疑或不确定,一般用于否定句和疑问句,could 的语气较can弱。could have done还可表示“过去本来可以做的事而没做”。can't/couldn't have done表示“过去不可能做某事”,即对过去发生的事进行语气最强的否定推测;
(4)should have done在语义上相当于ought to have done,表示“过去本来应该做而实际上却没有做”;shouldn't/oughtn't to have done表示“过去本来不应该做而实际上却做了”,这一用法往往含有责备的意味;
(5)needn't have done表示“本来不必做而实际上却做了”。

【教材原句】 From a small girl, I would stay in at lunch time just to get ahead on class work rather than go out and play. 我还是个小女孩时,为了在课业上名列前茅,午餐时间我会留下来学习而不出去玩。(教材P36)
(1)would rather do A than do B=would do A rather than do B=prefer to do A rather than do B=prefer doing A to doing B意为“宁愿做A而不愿做B”;
(2)rather than意为“而不是;与其……不如……;不愿”,
连接两个并列成分作主语时,谓语与rather than前面的成分在人称和数上保持一致,即“就远原则”。
与之用法类似的词汇还有as well as、(together/along) with、but、except、besides、including、in addition to、apart from等;
(3)rather than后接不定式时,不定式可以带to,也可以不带to;但当rather than位于句首时,只能接不带to的不定式。
【写作佳句】He decided to rely on himself rather than (to) seek help from the host. 他决定依靠自己,而不是向主人寻求帮助。

(4)should have done在语义上相当于ought to have done,表示“过去本来应该做而实际上却没有做”;shouldn't/oughtn't to have done表示“过去本来不应该做而实际上却做了”,这一用法往往含有责备的意味;
(5)needn't have done表示“本来不必做而实际上却做了”。

(1)would rather do A than do B=would do A rather than do B=prefer to do A rather than do B=prefer doing A to doing B意为“宁愿做A而不愿做B”;
(2)rather than意为“而不是;与其……不如……;不愿”,
连接两个并列成分作主语时,谓语与rather than前面的成分在人称和数上保持一致,即“就远原则”。
与之用法类似的词汇还有as well as、(together/along) with、but、except、besides、including、in addition to、apart from等;
(3)rather than后接不定式时,不定式可以带to,也可以不带to;但当rather than位于句首时,只能接不带to的不定式。

(3)whatever、whoever、whichever、whomever等还可引导名词性从句,此时不能用“no matter+疑问词”替换。
【写作佳句】No matter when/Whenever he comes again, he'll be welcome. 不管他何时再来,都会受到欢迎。
