经典释疑
·Shall I book you a seat?我能为您订个座位吗？
shall将来时，用于第一人称：I shall be back in a minute.用来表示征求意见：Shall I go with you?用在第二、三人称，表示命令，警告，允诺等。
He shall answer for it！shall和should用作助动词时，should是shall的过去式；用作情态动词时，shall和should是两个不同的词。在当代英语中，shall多用于正式法律文字。如：The vendor shall maintain the equipment in good repair.卖方须完好地维护设备。shall有时在从句中相当于must。如：It has been decided that the proposal shall not be opposed.已经决定不得反对这项提议。
作情态动词shall与should两者截然不同，should的用法（表示语气较强的假设）万一，竟然，If the car should break down on the way, you would have to walk back.万一汽车中途抛锚，你就得走回来。

Lifetime Warranty
