應該不應該(should)
should·shouldn’t 給建議、Should I…?、比 must 軟
應該不應該(should)
🎯 這一課你會學會
給建議、講「應該/不應該」——用 should / shouldn't。它比 must 語氣軟,是「我覺得這樣比較好」,不是強制。學完你能給人建議、也能問人「我該怎麼辦?」
💬 先聽一段對話
Amy: I have a headache and I'm really tired.(我頭痛,而且好累。) Ken: You should go home and rest. You shouldn't work so much.(你應該回家休息。不該工作那麼拚。) Amy: You're right. Should I see a doctor?(你說得對。我該看醫生嗎?) Ken: Maybe. If it's still bad tomorrow, you should.(也許。明天還是不舒服的話,就該去。)
🔑 關鍵句型
- should + 原形(應該):You should rest.
- shouldn't + 原形(不應該):You shouldn't worry.
- 問建議:Should I…? Should I call her?
- 也常配 I think…:I think you should try.
🧩 文法點:should 怎麼用
① should = 建議、「我覺得比較好」,語氣比 must 軟:
- must / have to = 必須(沒得選) vs should = 應該(建議,還是有選擇)。
- You must stop at a red light.(強制) You should drink more water.(建議)
② should 是情態動詞,規則跟 can / must 一樣:
- 後接原形:✅ You should see a doctor. ❌ should
to see/sees。 - 所有主詞都用 should(不加 s):he should、she should…。
- 否定 shouldn't、問句把 should 提前:Should I go?
③ 常見用法:
- 給建議:You should talk to her.
- 問建議:What should I do?(我該怎麼辦?)
- 委婉不同意:I don't think you should do that.

🗣️ 發音提醒
- should /ʃʊd/:l 不發音,唸「shʊd」(像「書的」的短音),別唸出 l。
- shouldn't /ˈʃʊdənt/:同樣 l 不發音。
- advice /ədˈvaɪs/(名詞,結尾 /s/)vs advise /ədˈvaɪz/(動詞,/z/)——A2 先認名詞 advice。
