【问】 “He is already on the wrong side of forties.” “It's about time he______himself a wifeand settled down. ”

A. finds B. should find C. found D. had found(TOEFL，73. 6)

我知道正确答案是C(found)。但是我还想知道在这里能否使用should find(B)。

【答】 对于考生来说，只要懂得It's time(that) he found...就足够了。对于英语教师来说，则应懂得，在英国英语中也有人使用should：

1. I think it is time (that) Mr. Bunbury should make up his mind.

我认为是邦伯里先生该下决心的时候了。

2. It's time we should leave.

我们早该离开了。
