may/might have done 推測過去

padding-bottom: 83.28%;">從零開始學語法:may have done用法小結

“may/might+動詞的完成式”表示對過去發生的行爲的推測。例如:

-Whatever has happened to George?
-喬治發生了什麼事?
-I don't know. He may have got lost.
-我不知道,他可能迷路了。

You might have read about it in the papers.
你可能在報上已經看過這個消息了。

(之前我們做過can have done用法小結,can have done表推測時都是對過去進行推測,但是may have done不僅可以推測過去)

may/might have done 推測現在

“may/might+動詞的完成式”表示對現在情況的推測。例如:

She might have got up now.
現在她可能已經起牀了。

may/might have done 預測未來

“may/might+動詞的完成式”表示推測將來某時之前的情況。例如:

He may have left when you get there.
等你到達的時候他可能已經離開了。

注意:may have done 和 might have done 表推測時,might 所表示的可能性比 may 小,語氣較委婉:

How quickly time passed! It might have happened yesterday.
時間過得好快啊!這事好像就發生在昨天。

He might have seen the surprise in my face.
他或許已經看到了我驚異的表情。

might have done 表輕微責備

might have done 除了能夠表推測,還能表示過去本來可以做而實際並沒有做。這時帶有輕微的責備之意。例如:

The proposal might have been refused.
這個建議本該拒絕的。(有輕微的責備之意)

I might have taken another path.
我本可以走另一條路。

may not/mightn't have done 表“可能不”

之前我們講到過 can't/couldn't have done 是表示“不可能”,而 may not/mightn't have done 則是表示“可能不”,要注意區分哦:

He can't have been at the meeting, he's on a business trip this week.
他不可能有出席會議,他這周出公差。

We couldn't have done it without you.
沒有你我們肯定完成不了。

They may not have known it beforehand.
他們事先可能不知道這事兒。

They mightn't have regarded me as their friend.
他們可能沒有把我當作朋友看待。
