三、表示推测 (1) 对现在或将来的推测,两者均可用,但can 通常只用于否定句或疑问句中,一般不用于肯定句,而could则可用于肯定句、否定句和疑问句: It can’t be true. 那不可能是真的。 What can they be doing? 他们会在干什么呢? We could go there this summer. 今年夏天我们可能要去那儿。(将来可能性) You could be right, but I don’t think you are. 你可能是对的,但我并不认为你是对的。(现在可能性) 【注】can 有时也用于肯定句中表示推测,这主要见于: 表示理论上的可能性(即从理论上看是可能的,但实际未必会发生): Even experienced teachers can make mistakes. 即使是有经验的教师也可能出错。 用于含有only等表示限制的肯定句:(from www.yygrammar.com) “Who is that at the door? ” “It can only be the postman.”“门外是谁?”“只能是邮递员。” 后接“be (get, seem, become)+形容词”,表示“有时会”、“时常会”等: It can get very hot here. 这里有时会很热。 She can be very unpleasant. 她有时很令人讨厌。
