課文詳注 Further notes on the text 1．Can't you come in and have tea now, Peter?彼得，你現在能進來喝茶嗎？這是否定疑問句，表示邀請。請參見第77-78課_Terrible toothache語法部分。
2．Don't you remember?你不記得了嗎？
這也是否定疑問句。
3．don't need to= needn't。
表示“不必”，是 must和 have to的一般現在時否定式。
4． a pleasant surprise,意想不到的好事，令人驚喜的事。
語法 Grammar in use
must, have to和 needn't
這3個詞都表示必要性。在前面已對 must和 have to介紹過。
must是情態(tài)助動詞，而have to是普通動詞，二者在肯定句中一般可以互換，表示不可逃避的義務或責任。must更帶有說話人的主觀色彩，而have to則更強調客觀要求和外界影響。
must一般只能表達現在的必要性，而have to則可以表達過去或將來的必要性。對比例句：
Must you go now?
