小叮咛

①Shall I book you a seat 我能为您订个座位吗? shall 将来时,用于第一人称: I shall be back in a minute. 用来表示征求意见: Shall I go with you 用在第二、三人称,表示命令,警告,允诺等。He shall answer for it! shall和should用作助动词时, should是shall的过去式;用作情态动词时, shall和should是两个不同的词。在当代英语中,shall多用于正式法律文字。如:The vendor shall maintain the equipment in good repair. 卖方须完好地维护设备。shall有时在从句中相当于must。如:It has been decided that the proposal shall not be opposed. 已经决定不得反对这项提议。作情态动词时, shall 与should两者截然不同。should的用法 (表示语气较强的假设)万一,竟然。 If the car should break down on the way, you would have to walk back. 万一汽车中途抛锚,你就得走回来。
