Толкование Перевод

1 needn't, don't need to, don't have to, mustn't

Сравнительное употребление выражений needn't, don't need to, don't have to и mustn't

↑ Modal verbs

1) Выражение mustn't используется для сообщения о том, что нечто не позволено, а выражения needn't, don't need to и don't have to для сообщения о том, что нечто не является обязательным.

You mustn't look at me steadily — Ты не должен все время смотреть на меня.

You mustn't be so mysterious — Ты не должен быть таким таинственным.

She says I mustn't flirt with you — Она говорит, что я не должна флиртовать с тобой

We don't need to cut taxes — Мы не обязаны снижать налоги (нет необходимости снижать налоги).

You don't have to be rich to live a happy life — Не обязательно быть богатым, чтобы жить счастливо.

2)

а) Глагол need может использоваться как модальный глагол (см. Modal verbs) и употребляться перед инфинитивом без частицы to, а может использоваться как обычный глагол.

You needn't help me — Не обязательно помогать мне (здесь need употребляется как модальный глагол).

We don't need to hurry — Нам не обязательно торопиться (здесь need употребляется как обычный глагол).

б) В качестве модального глагола need чаще всего используется в отрицательных предложениях, но иногда он используется также и в вопросах.

Need you be so rude? — Тебе обязательно быть таким грубым? (скорее будет сказано Do you have to be so rude?)

3) Чтобы позволить кому-то не делать чего-либо в некоторой конкретной ситуации, можно использовать оба сочетания needn't и don't need to. В том случае, когда речь идет о некоторой общей закономерности, лучше использовать don't need to.

You needn't dust the floor now. I'll do it later — Тебе не обязательно сейчас мести пол. Я сделаю это потом.

4) Чтобы сообщить о том, что не было необходимости совершать некоторое действие в прошлом, и это действие не было совершено, используют сочетания didn't have to и didn't need to. Чтобы сообщить о действии, которое не было необходимости совершать, но которое, тем не менее, было совершено, используют сочетание needn't + perf. infinitive (см. Perfect infinitive and Perfect infinitive passive).

YOU When translating you, even though you often need not use the pronoun itself, you will have to choose between using familiar tú/vosotros verb forms and the polite usted/ ustedes ones. ► In Spain, use tú and the plural vosotros/ vosotras with anyone you call by their first name, with children and younger adults. Use usted/ ustedes with people who are older than you, those in authority and in formal contexts. ► In Latin America usage varies depending on the country and in some places only the usted forms are used. Where the tú form does exist, only use it with people you know very well. In other areas vos, used with verb forms that are similar to the vosotros ones, often replaces tú. This is standard in Argentina and certain Central American countries while in other countries it is considered substandard. Use ustedes for all cases of you in the plural.
