答案:本句只能用 must have been,不能用 must be。


分析:因为本句是指对过去情况的推测,所以必须要用“情态动词+动词的完成式”。


补充:又如以下各句也要用 must have been 而不用 must be:

Sorry I made such a fool of myself last night. I must have been drunk. 对不起,我昨晚真是出丑了,我一定是喝醉了。

Although the shock must have been great, her face remained inexpressive. 尽管受到的震惊一定很大,她仍面无表情。
