近義字
補充說明: must / should / could / might / would
這幾個助動詞的差別在語氣強弱。表示義務時,must 語氣最強,指「規定或必須遵守」,Passengers must fasten their seat belts 為「乘客必須繫上安全帶」,沒有商量餘地。should 表示「建議」,做到較為妥當,未做到通常不算違規。could 在建議時是「提供選項」,而非要求,You could take the earlier bus 為「你也可以搭早一班車」。might 的語氣通常比 may 更保留。would 與前四個字不同,本身不帶強制或建議的意味。同一句話換用不同的助動詞,語氣就跟著改變:You must leave now 是「命令」,You should leave now 是「建議」,You could leave now 是「提供選項」。
