词组 | oughtn't/shouldn't |
释义 | oughtn't/shouldn't 【问】 She ought to go by plane,oughtn't she? Barron's How to Prepare for the TOEFL(P.45)认为oughtn't she应改为shouldn'tshe。这是为什么呢? 【答】 这个试题过份地强调了美国用法。实际上,用oughtn't she也是正确的。CGEL的作者们说: “有时用shouldn't代替oughtn't: 1. We ought to go now 我们现在该走了,是吧? 2. We ought to buy a new car,oughtn't we? (LDCE) 我们应该买辆新车,是吧? 赵振才 编著.英语常见问题解答大词典.哈尔滨:黑龙江人民出版社.1998.第866页. |
