NCE Book 2 · Lesson 19（课本印刷页 84-87）· 6 个生词和短语 · 课文 13 句

一全文逐句语法解读

本课是「买票、退票、再买票」的售票处对话。语言点集中在 情态动词 may / might 表推测与请求、may have + 过去分词 表对过去的推测、sell out / at once / might as well 这些固定表达，以及请求别人时 can < could < may 的礼貌差别。

¶ 1 · 开演与请求（句 1-4）

句子	语法点
'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.	may + 动词原形，表示对现在的推测「可能」 · at any moment 随时
'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.	may have + 过去分词对已发生事情的推测「可能已经……」
I hurried to the ticket office.	hurry to + 地点＝匆忙赶往 · ticket office 售票处

¶ 2 · 票已售完（句 5-9）

句子	语法点
'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.	sell out 售完、卖光 · 用现在完成时表示「已经卖完了」，对现在造成的影响是没票了
'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.	What a + 名词！是感叹句省略了 it is · exclaim 意为「大声说」，比 say 更有情绪

¶ 3 · 退票与无奈（句 10-13）

句子	语法点
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.	return 在此意为「退回（票）」 · 请求用 can / could / may，语气依次更客气
I went back to the ticket office at once.	at once ＝立刻，马上
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.	might as well do ＝还是……为好、只好 · sadly 作状语修饰 said

二固定搭配与重点词组

短语	用法与例句
sell out	售完，卖光：We have sold out.
at once	立刻，马上。
might as well do	还是……为好，勉强接受：I might as well have them.
at any moment	随时，任何时候。
What a pity!	真遗憾！感叹句的省略形式。

三语法核心总结

may 表推测

may + do（现在）／may have + done（过去）

请求的礼貌程度

Can I …? ＜ Could I …? ＜ May I …?

现在完成时

we've sold out 表示到说话时已经卖完

固定表达

sell out 售完 · at once 立刻 · might as well 只好

may have done 与 may do：The play may begin at any moment. 是对现在的推测；It may have begun already. 是对已经发生的事的推测，两者不能混用。
might as well 不表示「可能」：I might as well have them. ＝那我还是买下来吧，含勉强、无奈的语气。
ticket office 与 booking office：英式英语里售票处也说 booking office，课文中用的是 ticket office。
