I can talk to a woman. It doesn't have to belike that
【句子翻譯】我和一個女孩子說說話，你用不著這樣吧？
【句子解析】have to“不得不，必須”；
have to通常指由于客觀原因則不得不做某事，意思為“不得不”。
It's dark now. I have to go home. 天黑了，我不得不回家。
It's raining, and I have to stay at home. 外面在下雨，我不得不呆在家里。
(1)have to與一般情態(tài)動詞的異同
相同點：
一般的情態(tài)動詞不能單獨作謂語，后面必須接動詞原形一起構成謂語，have to 也是這樣。
不同點：
一般的情態(tài)動詞沒有人稱和數的變化，而且所用的時態(tài)也受到一定的限制，而have to 有人稱和數的變化?？捎糜诙喾N時態(tài)中：一般現在時中當主語是第三人稱單數時要用has to，其余的人稱用have to，一般過去時中要用had to； 一般將來時中則要用will have to.
e.g. She has to go to school by bus.
她不得不乘公汽上學。
You'll have to see the doctor if you get ill.
如果你生病了，就得去看醫(yī)生。
(2)否定句和疑問句的構成方式不同：
①一般的情態(tài)動詞直接在后面加not構成否定句，把這些情態(tài)動詞提到句首就構成一般疑問句。
②而have to 的否定句和疑問句的構成往往要借助于助動詞do的適當形式或助動詞will即have to, has to,had to和will have to的否定式分別為don't have to, doesn't have to, didn't have to和won't haveto，疑問句是在句首加助動詞do的相應形式，句中還原成have to或把will放到句首，這里have to簡直就是一個十足的行為動詞。
e.g. What does she have to do?
她必須做什么？
You didn't have to wait for me yesterday.
昨天你沒有必要等我
Yeah. I just got off the phone.
【句子翻譯】是啊，我剛講完電話。
【句子解析】get off“從...下來，離開”；
Get off the phone. 講完電話
Get off her! 放開她！
Well, so you think it’s great that they’re getting married but you don’t ever feel likewe’re going against nature or something by not getting married?
【句子翻譯】他們結婚了，你覺得很好，而我們還沒結婚，你卻不覺得違背自然規(guī)律？
【句子解析】go against“違背、違反，對...不利”；
Don't do anything that should go against his will.不要做違背他心意的事。
His thinking goes against all logic.他的思維完全不合邏輯。
No. Going against nature is like the cat who suckled that monkey. You and I are justtwo people who happen not to be married.
【句子翻譯】不覺得，貓給猴子喂奶才是違背自然規(guī)律。你我只是兩個碰巧都不結婚的人。
【句子解析】happen to“碰巧、偶然、正巧”；
