有这样一道选择题:
You’d better come earlier, _______ you?
A. hadn’t B. wouldn’t
C. had D. should
有不少同学犹豫了,究其原因就是因为他们不知道’d是哪个词的缩写。’d结构可能是下列四种形式之一:
1. ’d better do sth.意为“最好,还是……的好”,其中’d是had的缩写。’d better后接不带to的不定式,表示现在或将来的情况。其否定形式是’d better not do sth, 常用来对别人的规劝。如:
They’d better eat less sweet food.
他们最好少吃甜食。
You’d better ask that policeman over there.
你最好去问那边的那个警察。
You’d better not take the shopping basket with you.
你最好别带购物篮子。
2. ’d like / love... 意为“想要,愿意,很想”,其中’d通常是助动词should或would的缩写。should / would like / love后常接名词、带to的动词不定式或复合宾语,其否定形式为’d not like / love。如:
We’d like / love some cakes.
我们很想要一些蛋糕。
I’d like / love to see the film Titanic.
我很想去看电影《泰坦尼克号》。
I’d like / love him to help me with my lessons. 我很想让他帮助我做功课。
We’d not like / love to have any beer.
我们不想喝啤酒。
3. ’d rather意为“宁愿,宁可”,其中’d 是助动词would或had 的缩写。’d rather后接不带to的动词不定式,其否定形式为’d rather not do sth. 如:
Liu Hulan’d rather die than give in.
******宁死不屈。
I’d rather tell her the truth.
我宁可告诉她真相。
She’d rather not tell her secret to her friends.
她宁可不把自己的秘密告诉她的朋友。
He’d rather not go to work now.
他现在宁可不去上班。
4. ’d done是过去完成时had done的缩写形式。如:
By the end of the match, they’d kicked two goals and we’d kicked four.
到比赛结束时,他们踢进了两个球,而我们踢进了四个球。
We’d put out the fire before the firemen arrived.
消防队员赶到之前我们已把火扑灭了。
He asked me if you’d written to Peter.
他问我你是否已给彼得写信了。
我们再回过头来看那道题,该题结构与第一种情况吻合,故正确答案为A就无疑了
