另一方面,need还可用作情态动词,就像can, could, must, should等词那样。此时它的用法同其他情态助动词一样:第三人称单数作主语时不加s,疑问句和否定句不用do来构成。做情态动词时,need一般接不带to的不定式。例句:
A: Need I lock the door when I leave?
A: 我走时要锁门吗?
B: No, you neednt. Sarah will be home soon.
B: 不,不用。Sarah马上就回来了。
In this sense, we are talking more about obligation and giving permission to someone not to do something. Note also that as a modal verb it is most commonly used in negative sentences and sometimes in questions.
用作情态动词时,我们所谈论的更多是指义务责任以及同意某人不做某件事情。同时要注意,作情态动词时need通常用于否定句,有时用于疑问句。(也就是说不用于肯定句)
