二、原文

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!'

三、課文和語法

1、My aunt Jennifer is an actress.

my aunt 和Jennifer 是同位語

actress 女演員 -ess 表女性

2、She must be at least thirty-five years old.

at least 至少 ?反義詞是at most 至多

3、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞must

1）表必須：

基本用法1：must表必須

基本用法2： have to 表不得不

比較：must 和 have to

must 和have to相似，可用來表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)（表達(dá)你認(rèn)為需要做或者建議某人做某事）

??have to (通常不用must) 用來表示某人不得不做某事，說話者不是在表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)，是客觀的；

I have to work from 8.30 to 5.30 every day.

但是在書面規(guī)定、規(guī)則中，用must

Applications for the job must be received by 18 May.

??must 不用來談?wù)撨^去

比較: mustn’t 和 don’t have to

??mustn’t 表不許做（因此不做）

????????You must keep this secret, you mustn’t tell anyone.(=don’t tell anyone)

??don’t have to 不需要做，（想做也可以）

????????You don’t have to tell John what happened. I can tell him myself.

基本用法3： have to = have got to

注意have got to 只能用于現(xiàn)在，不用用于過去，如果要用于過去，還是要用have to的變形

基本用法4: ?must, mustn’t, neednt’

must 的否定一般不用mustn’t，而是用needn’t

Must I read the book again?

No, you needn’t

2) 表推測

4、In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl.

??in spite of =despite 盡管… 后接名詞或代詞充當(dāng)讓步狀語

Inspite of the bad weather, they decided not to put off their trip.

though, although, even though 都是連詞，也表示盡管，但后面要接句子

??appear on the stage as sb 登臺(tái)扮演某角色

??as 作為介詞，意思為“作為，以.. 身份”

He works as a teacher.

as 作為連詞，可表示時(shí)間、原因、方式等引導(dǎo)不同的狀語從句

Do it as I told you.

As we were having a party, the light went out.

5、In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress

in+ 衣服/顏色?表穿著 = be dressed in /wear

put on 表示穿衣的動(dòng)作

6、Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up.

must 這里表推測

grow up ?(指人，動(dòng)物) 長成，長大，成熟 只能做不及物動(dòng)詞，強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)果

be grown up 表示長大成人

grow單獨(dú)使用表示 (指人，事物)生長、發(fā)育、成長 ?- 可做及物和不及物動(dòng)詞，強(qiáng)調(diào)過程

grown up 這里是形容詞，長大成人的，也可作為名詞，代表大人, 通常這樣是從小孩子的視角說話

I don’t want to sit with grown-ups, I want to go and play with the other kids

“I’m scared, Dad.” “Yes, I know, and sometimes grown-ups get scared and worried too, you know”
