ought to的用法 知识点

ought to“应该”,是情态动词,与should同义.
疑问句,只需将ought提前;
否定句,在ought后面加上not,
例如:①Ought I to tell her the truth? 我应该把真实的情形告诉她吗?②We ought to be careful, oughtn't we? 我们应该小心,对吧?③Oughtn't he to see a doctor? 他是不是该去看医生?
一、用法
1. 与should一样,情态动词ought to最基本的意思也是“应该”——既可指有责任或义务 “应该”做某事,也可指建议或劝告某人“应该”做某事,还可指推测某事或某情况“应该”会发生,等等。
例如:①We ought to start at once. 我们应该马上离开。②You ought to learn how to be patient. 你应当学习怎样有耐心。
2. 与should一样,ought to表示推断时,其语气也比较肯定,通常指的是一种合乎逻辑的且非常可能的事情,有时可译为“准是”,语气比表示推测的may, might, could等要强,但比must弱。
例如:That ought to /should be Janet coming upstairs now. 正在上楼的准是珍妮特。
二、ought to与 should的区别
1. 两者用法非常接逝,通常可以互换使用,只是ought to语气稍重。例如:John should /ought to be at home. 约翰可能在家。
2. 表示出于法令规则、行为准则、道德责任等客观情况而“应该”做某事时,一般应用ought to,若用should则含有个人意见,强调主观看法。例如:We ought to go and see Mary tomorrow, but I don't think we will. 明天我们按理应该去看看玛丽,但是我认为我们不会去。
3. 在公告、须知或条例中,出于礼貌,常用should。例如:You should not run alongside the swimming-pool. 不准在游泳池边奔跑。
