借花献佛——为老师们提供shouldn't(表推测)和should have to权威例句

今天,学习了咱们答疑网早期的帖子 http://ask.yygrammar.com/q-24749.html 

老师们功力深厚,我就像在看神仙打架,看得一头雾水。

我发现,老师们在辩论时候,对例句的权威与否,很是纠结。比如,帖子上说:“should的推测性用法不是should的主要用法,词典中未找到shouldn't表示推测的用法。这与should表示责任、义务时,词典中不一定能找到should have to do的例句一样。”

 

吃水不忘打井人,这里我也给老师们做些贡献。以下是例句:

情态动词的epistemic用法都是从 deontic用法的基础上引申而来的,所以有时候兼有二者的意思。

We needn't get ready yet; the guests shouldn't come for another hour.

这个句子中shouldn't come应该分析为epistemic用法。即说话人有一定依据的推测(例如他们出发晚了等信息)。

▲We needn't get ready yet; the guests shouldn't come for another hour (LDCE)

虽然《朗曼》很流行,但是这句不是表推测,shouldn't 是与平常的认知做比较。

前面的“needn't get ready”也排除了后句是表推测,否则逻辑上很矛盾

再如:According to the weather report, it shouldn't rain this afternoon. 

所谓推测,是指未来事件的有变数。天气预报这句,通常也算不上是推测(是气象台用科技分析的结果),虽然多少接近是推测。


▲ Either you cut it out, or we should have to wash our hands of the whole business. (Snow)

这里should have to , 大致等于 should have no alternative but to wash ..., 不是表推测也不是表责任义务,而是一种虚拟(If you didn't do it, we...)。
