这里的 I should just...should究竟是牛津词典释义的哪一种含义?

章振邦新编高级英语语法:

"Did you enjoy yourselves?"

"I should just (=absolutely) say we did" 或 "Didn't we just!".

回答时说: I should ... 这里的should究竟是什么含义?

牛津词典释义:

1.

used with I and we to give opinions that you are not certain about (与I和we连用,表示没有把握)

I should imagine it will take about three hours. 我想得用差不多三个小时吧。 

‘Is this enough food for everyone?’ ‘ I should think so .’ “这些食物够所有人吃吗?”“我觉得够了吧。”

‘Will it matter?’ ‘ I shouldn't think so .’ “这有关系吗?”“不会吧。”

2.

used for expressing strong agreement (表示十分赞同)

‘I know it's expensive but it will last for years.’ ‘ I should hope so too! ’ “我知道价钱贵,但能用好多年。”“我也是这么想的!”

‘Nobody will oppose it.’ ‘ I should think not! ’ “谁也不会反对的。”“我想也是!”

所以:很迷惑,不懂这里的I should just...should究竟是牛津词典释义的哪一种含义?经常看见这种类似的例句I should do...所以,麻烦老师

分析一下。


另外,顺便请教老师,回答时说 "Didn't we just!".  是表达了什么意思?

"Did you enjoy yourselves?"

"I should just (=absolutely) say we did" 或 "Didn't we just!".

这里的should是英式英式主语为第一人称时表示主语的意义,美式英语会用would. 

Didn't we just! 为修辞性问句演变来的感叹句,否定形式表示强烈的肯定。= Of course we did.
