A JOB INTERVIEW

JAKE IS TELLING SYLVIA ABOUT HIS INTERVIEW FOR A

JOB IN A CAR SHOWROOM.

‘The manager said that employees must wear clean, smart clothes while they are at work. They mustn’t wear jeans or trainers! They mustn’t smoke or drink in any part of the building, and they must eat all their meals in the canteen. They mustn’t have anything but coffee, tea, or soft drinks at their workstations.

They must keep their hair clean and neat, and tied back if it’s longer than the shoulder. All the men must be cleanshaven, and the women mustn’t wear too much make-up, but they needn’t avoid it altogether.

Employees must be polite and courteous to the public, but they need

not tolerate abuse. He said if they find themselves in a difficult situation, they must immediately call a manager to deal with it. I didn’t like the sound of it! I don’t think I’ll take the job.’

V. GRAMMAR: MODAL VERB MUST

(МОДАЛЬНЫЙ ГЛАГОЛ MUST)

Модальный глагол MUST имеет только одну временную форму: настоящего времени – must [mʌst] (полная форма); [məst] (редуцированная форма) (должен, обязан, нужно и др.). Значения этого модального глагола во многом определяются формой предложения – утвердительной, вопросительной или отрицательной.

В УТВЕРДИТЕЛЬНОМ ПРЕДЛОЖЕНИИ МОДАЛЬНЫЙ ГЛАГОЛ MUST ОБОЗНАЧАЕТ:

1. обязанность, приказание, приказ (переводится, как должен, обязан):

You must be in time for work.

Вы должны вовремя приходить на работу.

2. внутренне осознанную необходимость (переводится, как надо, нужно,

необходимо, должен):

I must do it today, I can’t leave it till tomorrow.

Я должен сделать это сегодня, я не могу отложить это на завтра.

3. настоятельный совет или приглашение (переводится, как обязательно должен, обязательно нужно):

You must see this performance. It’s very interesting.

Вы обязательно должны посмотреть этот спектакль. Он очень интересный.

85

4. вероятность, предположение (переводится, как должно быть):

She must be at home.

Она, должно быть, дома.

В ВОПРОСИТЕЛЬНОМ ПРЕДЛОЖЕНИИ МОДАЛЬНЫЙ ГЛАГОЛ MUST ОБОЗНАЧАЕТ:

1. нежелание выполнять действие (переводится, как обязательно ли):

Must I type the letters today?

Обязательно ли набирать письма сегодня?

В ОТРИЦАТЕЛЬНОМ ПРЕДЛОЖЕНИИ МОДАЛЬНЫЙ ГЛАГОЛ MUST ОБОЗНАЧАЕТ:

1. категорический запрет совершить действие (переводится, как нельзя,

запрещается):

You mustn’t walk on the grass.

Запрещается ходить по газону.

Отрицательную форму модального глагола MUST – MUSTN’T необходимо отличать от отрицательной формы модального глагола NEED

(нужно) – NEEDN’T. Если mustn’t означает «нельзя, запрещено», то needn’t

означает «нет необходимости». Сравните:

You needn’t feed the dog. I’ll do it.

Тебе не нужно кормить собаку. Я сделаю это сама.

86

Visitors mustn’t feed the animals.

Посетителям запрещается кормить животных.
