might/must/should

核心问题

——Are you coming to Jeff's party?——I'm not sure. I ____ go to the concert instead. A. must B. would C. should D. might(全国高考,00-15)

答案为 D。这是我不能理解的:明明是指将来的事儿,为什么要用过去时 might 呢?

词典解答

应当记住:might 除了用作 may 的过去时之外,更多地是用来指现在或将来的可能性。

  1. You'd better not go inside. There might be snakes. 你最好不要进去,也许有蛇。

  2. I haven't decided. There's a talk on cancer that might be quite interesting, so perhaps I'll go to that. 我还没有决定。有一个关于癌症的报告或许很有趣,因此我也许去听听。

  3. It is quite possible that the thief might put some meat in your bag, hoping you will be caught and called a thief. 很可能这个小偷会把肉放进你的包里,希望人们抓住你,把你叫做小偷。

  4. If he has time, he may/might come. 如果他有时间,他可能来的。
