先小試一下身手，看看用哪個單字才對？
1.	I think you ____________ (must/should) call Jim, but you don't have to.
2.	You ____________ (must/should) have left the door open; the cat got out.

關鍵說明：

你「必須」去參加會議用 must 和用 should，聽起來感覺不一樣喔！

must

should

使用情境

⊙	指非得要的情況；必須
⊙	語氣強烈

⊙	表建議的時候用；應該
⊙	語氣較緩和

注意

must 當名詞用的時候，指的是「不可不做的事」。must have p.p. 表示「一定是……」。

must

The Wizard and the Gold Umbrella (1)

巫師與金傘 (1)

One day, a boy lost his umbrella. He was very sad. "It is going to rain, and I am going to get wet!" he cried.

A wizard heard the boy and showed him a gold umbrella. "Is this your umbrella?" he asked. The boy was very honest and said, "No, my umbrella was not made of gold."

Then, the wizard showed him a silver umbrella. "That isn't my umbrella, either," said the boy.

Finally, the wizard showed the boy his real umbrella. "That's my umbrella!" cried the boy.

The wizard said, "You are an honest boy, so I will give you all three umbrellas!"

有一天，有個小男孩的雨傘不見了，他很傷心。他哭喊著：「就快下雨了，我要淋濕了！」

一個巫師聽到了那個小男孩說的話後，就給了他一把金傘，他問：「這是你的雨傘嗎？」那個小男孩很誠實地說：「不，我的雨傘不是金子打造的。」

然後，巫師給他一把銀傘。小男孩說：「這也不是我的傘。」

最後，巫師給他真正的傘。小男孩大喊：「那才是我的傘！」

巫師說：「你是個誠實的人，所以我要把這三把傘都送給你。」
