may well ： may/might （ just ） as well —— 618
这两个合成助动词要加以区别： may well 作“有可能”或“也许这样”讲，而 may/might （ just ） as well 则是“倒不如”、“大可”或“不妨”的意思，含有“以…为妙”的意境色彩。
例如：
His appearance has changed so much that you may wellnot recognize him. 他的外貌变化很大，你也许认不出他来了。
There's nothing to do, so I may as well go to bed. 无事可做，倒不如去睡觉。
We might as well stay where we were. 我们既来之则安之。
James is a lazy boy. You may just as well call him lazy-bones. 詹姆斯是个懒孩子，不妨叫他懒鬼。
