Notes on the text课文注释
1 We may go abroad.我们可能去国外。
在英文中用may来表示可能发生钓事情,在may后面加动词原形。请注意may表示的是一种可能性。这与第127课所讲的表示有根据的推论是有区别的。
2 make up our minds 打定主意 3 Don t be so sure.别那么肯定。
在祈使句中,be动词的否定形式要用don t be,这种结构常常用于劝告。
4 We might not go anywhere. 我们可能哪里也去不成。 might可以用来表示一种可能性,但它表示的“肯定”程度还不如may。和may一样,might所表示的是现在或将来的一种可能性。
5 look after 照看

Lesson 131-132 自学导读 First things first 课文详注 Further notes on the text 1.make up our minds,打定主意。
make up one s mind是表示下定决心的一种固定用法。 2.Will you travel by sea or by air?你们乘船去,还是乘飞机去?
这是一个选择疑问句。 by sea表示“乘船”。 by air表示“乘飞机”。
3. take a long time,花很长时间。 语法 Grammar in use 情态助动词may表示可能性
may或might都表示“可能”、“也许”。通常既可以用may,也可以用might,不过might所表示的可能性要比may小,且当情况是虚拟的时只能用might而不能用may。
(1)may 表示现在或将来的可能性:may+动词原形: The bread may be fresh. 面包可能是新鲜的。 He may be reading.
