First listen and then answer the question.
听录音,然后回答以下问题。
What kind of shopping does the writer enjoy, do you think?
'Do you call that a hat?' I said to my wife.
'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror.
I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.
'We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once.
'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered. 'I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.'
'I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.'
'And a woman can't have too many hats,' she answered.
Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse!

参考译文
“你把那个叫帽子吗?”我对妻子说。
“你说话没必要这样不客气,”我的妻子边回答边照着镜子。
我坐在一个新式的满是网眼儿的椅子上,等待着。我们在这家帽店已经呆了半个小时了,而我的妻子仍在镜子面前。
“我们不应该买我们不需要的东西,”我突然发表意见说,但马上又后悔说了这话。
“你没必要这么说,”我妻子回答说,“我也不必提醒你昨天买的那条糟糕透了的领带。”
“我觉得它好看,”我说,“男人有多少领带也不会嫌多。”
“女人有多少帽子也不嫌多。”她回答。
10分钟以后,我们一道走出了商店。我妻子戴着一顶像灯塔一样的帽子。

Ⅱ. 现身说“法”: 情态动词(Ⅲ)
1. need
(1) need是情态动词, 在文法上被叫做半语气助动词, 因为它只有在表达疑问和否定时具有助动词的功能。肯定时用: must/have to/should/ought to。
He needn’t help if he doesn’t want to. 如果他不愿意的话, 他就不用帮忙。
(2) need 还可作实义动词, 表示“需要”。
I need your help, please. 我需要你的帮助, 求你了。
I don’t need a MP4. Buy me something else. 我不需要MP4, 给我买点别的吧。
Do you need my company? 你需要我陪你吗?
2. must, have to 和need的否定用法
Ⅲ. 说“文”解“字”
1. “You needn’t be so rude about it,” my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror.
在前面我们已经讲过, 英语中有两个need: 一个是实义动词, 表“需要”; 另一个是情态动词, 表“必要”。情态动词的need只用于否定句和疑问句中, 只能表示“不必要” (needn’t) 或是“有必要吗?” (Do you need...) 。如果要表示“有必要, 必须做某事”, 就用must、 have to、 ought to或者should。这句话里的needn’t就是情态动词用于否定句中, 表示“没这个必要做”。
2. I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited.
with holes in it 在句子里作定语, 译为“带有…的”。通常 “with结构”喜欢在句子中作定语、 方式状语或是伴随状语。
3. “We mustn’t buy things we don’t need.” I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once.
(1) 这句话中的mustn’t意为“不应该”, 表“禁止, 不许”。而needn’t表示“不必要, 没必要”做某事, 但也可以去做, 语气比较委婉。
(2) “we don’t need”是个定语从句, 修饰things, 这里的need是实义动词, 表示“需要, 需求”。
(3) regret doing sth. 后悔做了某事。regret后面跟名词或动名词时表示“后悔已做某事”。
I regretted my anger. 我很后悔自己发火。(名词)
I regretted inviting her to my birthday party. 真后悔邀请她来参加我的生日派对。 (动名词)
4. “You needn’t have said that. ” my wife answered. “I needn’t remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.”
needn’t have done 是一种虚拟的表示, 意思是“原本不必做某事, 而实际上却已做了。”
You needn’t have come along, I was planning to go to town and save you a trip.
你真没必要大老远跑来, 我原本正打算进城, 省你跑趟腿呢。
5. “I find it beautiful.” I said. “A man can never have too many ties.”
cannot / can never...too...是个固定的“否+否=肯”的搭配, 表示“无论怎么…都不过分”。
A person can never learn too much knowledge. 学海无涯。
Parents can never be too careful with their children. 父母对孩子是永远不会放心的。
