四、重要语法
情态助动词may和might表示可能性
1)may和might都表示可能性,意为“可能”、“也许”,通常可互换使用;两者都用于肯定句中,其可能性比must要小;might所表示的可能性比may要小;当情况是虚拟时只能用might而不能用may。
① may+be/动词原形,表示现在或将来的推测,“可能是”
We may have a test this week.
②may + have + 过去分词表示对过去发生的行为的推测,意思是“当时可能是”。
You may have waved to me, but I didn't see it.
③may+be+doing 可能正在做某事
④may +have been doing 过去可能正在做某事
2)may和might都可以表示请求、允许,此时might比may语气更委婉一些,否定回答时要用mustn’t表示“不可以”、“禁止”之意。
You may drive the car. 你可以开这辆车。
---May/Might I use your pen 我可以用你的钢笔吗?---No, you mustn’t. 不,不可以。
May I … 表示征求对方许可,在文体上比较正式,在口气上比较客气。在日常口语中,用Can I … 更为常见。
3)用于祈使句中表示祝愿。
May you succeed! 祝你成功!
May they live long! 祝您长命百岁!
May you both be happy! 祝你们两个幸福!
