needn't do和don't need to do有啥区别
needn't do中的need是情态动词,don't need to do中的need是实义动词。但两个短语在意思上没什么区别,一般在单选中是考它们的搭配。
need,英文单词,动词、名词,作动词时意为“必须,需要;(表示应该或不得不做)有必要”。作名词时意为“需要,必须; 特别需要,迫切要求;欲望;(食物、钱或生活来源的)短缺,缺乏;必需品;贫困(或困难)的处境”。
need双语例句:
1、Yes, I have one. When you need it?
是的,我有一间。您什么时候要?
2、What do you need from them, and what do they need from you?
你从他们那里需要什么,他们从你那里需要什么?
3、We all need one of those.
我们都需要一个这样的领结。
就像needn't have done 和 didn't need to do 一样。
从用法上,前者是情态动词,后者是实义动词。
从意义上,前者暗示已经做了,有“本不需要”的意思,后者暗示还没有做,就是纯粹地“不需要”。
如:You needn't do the housework.(说话时你已经做了家务)
You don't need to do the housework.(说话时你尚未做家务
——Must I clean the room?
我必须清扫房间吗?
——No, you needn't.
不,你不必。
don't need to do =do not need to do. 这里已经有do这样一个助动词,所以说need在这里是实一动词。意思是“不需要……”。例如:
——I don't need a pen.我不需要钢笔。
一般我们不说needn't do.... 而是用它的完成时 needn't have done , 此时的need是情态动词。 而don't need to do....中的need是实义动词。
don't need to do....跟needn't have done...的区别是:
don't need to do....:“没必要,实际上也没做某事。”
needn't have done...:“虽然没必要,但已经做了某事。”
如:I din't need to get up early this morning, so I stayed in bed until 9 a.m. (实际上我没早起。)
I needn't have got there so early because she didn't come until 10. (虽然没必要,但实际上我很早就到了。)
*** 在口语中,人们通常会在上述两种情况下都使用“didn't need to do....”,因为它听起来比“needn't have done...”更随意一些。这种用法并不是错误,而是一种口语化的表述。
