Lesson 65

Jumbo versus the police
小象对警察

First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Why did the police have to push Jumbo off the main street?

Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital.
去年圣诞节，马戏团老板吉米.盖茨决定送些礼物给儿童医院。

Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls,
他打扮成圣诞老人，在由6个漂亮姑娘组成的“仪仗队”的陪同下，

he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo.
骑上一头名叫江伯的小象，沿着城里的主要街道出发了。

He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing.
他本该知道警察绝不会允许这类事情发生。

A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic.
一个警察走过来告诉吉米，他应该走一条小路，因为江泊阻碍了交通。

Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move.
虽然吉米同意马上就走，但江伯却拒绝移动。

Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street.
15个警察不得不用很大的力气把它推离主要街道。

The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused.
警察虽然吃了苦头，但他们还是感到很有趣。

'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards,
“江伯一定有好几吨重，”一个警察事后这样说，

'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him.
“值得庆幸的是它没让我们抬它走。

Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'
当然，我们应该逮捕它，但由于它一贯表现很好，这次我们饶了它。”

语法

grammar 

表示“应该”和“必须”的情态助动词 should, ought, have to 与must
（1）在第17课的语法中，我们学习了表示不可逃避的义务或表示“必须”的must。must通常只用于现在时和将来时，其他时态则用 have to代替。have to比 must往往更强调客观的要求或外在的原因：
In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.
演出时她必须穿一条鲜红色的裙子和黑色的长筒袜。
Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress.
去年在演另一个剧时，她不得不穿短袜和一件鲜艳的橘红色的衣服。
（2）should 和 ought to都可译为“应该”，表示义务、责任或某个正确的行为。ought to比 should语气略强些，多用于肯定句；疑问句与否定结构则多用 should。与它们相比， must和 have to 的语气要强得多，没有选择余地：
（3）had to表示过去必须做某事，而 should／ought to+have+过去分词则表示过去应该做（或完成）而没有做的事。
