Lesson 17 Always young
Part 1: Text
My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asks her how old she is, she always answers, 'Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!'

Part 4: Grammar&Difficult points
情态动词must和have to 的区别
一、表示必须的用法
1. 二者均表示“必须”,但must多表示主观意志,have to 多表示客观需要
● I must keep my word.
我必须遵守诺言。
● It rained heavily, so the children had to stay at home.
雨下得很大,孩子们不得不待在家里。
2. must只有一种时态;而have to则有多种时态变化
● They had to speed up, for the weather turned terrible.
天气变得糟糕起来,他们只好加快速度。
● We will have to ask Mr Li for help.
我们将不得不向李老师求助。
3. have to的否定式和疑问式需用助动词构成,not have to相当于needn’t,意为“不必”;must的疑问式直接将must提前,其否定式在must后直接加not, mustn’t意为“禁止,不许”
● You don’t have to/don’t need to/needn’t tell him the truth if you don’t want to.
如果你不想告诉他真相,你就不必告诉他。
● If you earn more than 5,000 yuan, will you have to pay tax

● Must I pay now

二、表示推测的用法
must表示有根据、有把握的推测,只用于肯定句。后接动词原形,表示对现在情况的推测;后接be doing,表示对正在发生的情况的推测;后接have done,表示对过去情况的推测。
● He must be ill. He looks so pale.
他肯定是病了,他看上去脸色那么苍白。

三、表示感彩的用法
must可表示“非要……;偏要”,用以告诉某人他们的举止使你生气或困扰。
● Why must you always interrupt me
你为什么总是非要打断我呢
● If you must smoke, do it outside, please.
如果你一定要吸烟,请到外边去吸。
