need

释义

*need¹

/ni:d ||; nid/verb [T] (not usually used in the continuous tenses 通常不用于进行时)

1 need sb/sth (for sth/to do sth) if you need sth, you want it or must have it 需要；要: All living things need water. 所有生物都需要水。I need a new film for my camera. 我的照相机需要新胶卷。Does Roshni need any help? 罗什尼要帮忙吗？I need to find a doctor. 我要找个医生看病。I need you to go to the shop for me. 我要你替我去店里买点东西。

2 to have to; to be obliged to 一定要；必须要: Do we need to buy the tickets in advance? 我们要不要预先买票呢？I need to ask some advice. 我必须向人征求意见。You didn't need to bring any food but it was very kind of you. 你其实无须带任何食物，你真是非常周到。

The question form of the main verb need is do I need ?, etc and the past tense is needed (question form did you need ?, etc; negative didn't need). 主要动词need的疑问式是do I need?，而过去时是needed（疑问式是did you need?，否定式是didn't need）。

3 need (sth) doing if sth needs doing, it is necessary or must be done 须要或必要办到（某事）: This jumper needs washing. 这件套头毛衣要洗了。He needed his eyes testing. 他须要做眼睛检查。

Although this verb is not usually used in the continuous tenses, it is common to see the present participle (= -ing form) Patients needing emergency treatment will go to the top of the waiting list. 虽然这个动词通常不用于进行时，但它的现在分词还是常见：Patients needing emergency treatment will go to the top of the waiting list.需要紧急治疗的病人将被列在等候者名单的前面。

*need²

/ni:d ||; nid/modal verb (not used in the continuous tenses; used mainly in questions or negative sentences after if and whether, or with words like hardly, only, never 不用于进行时；主要用于疑问句或否定句的if或whether后，或与hardly、only、never等词连用) to have to; to be obliged to 一定要；必须要: Need we pay the whole amount now? 我们是不是现在就须缴付全额呢？You needn't come to the meeting if you're too busy. 如果你太忙的话就不一定要来开会。I hardly need remind you (= you already know) that this is very serious. 我想你自己也明白这是十分严重的事。 The present tense is need in all persons; the negative form is need not (needn't), the question form is need I ?, etc 现在时的所有人称都是need；否定式是need not(needn't)，疑问式是need I?等 When talking about the past, needn't have with a past participle shows that you did something but discovered after doing it that it was not necessary I needn't have gone to the hospital (= I went but it wasn't necessary). Didn't need to with an infinitive usually means that you did not do sth because you already knew that it was not necessary I didn't need to go to the hospital (= I didn't go because it wasn't necessary).For more information about modal verbs, look at the Quick Grammar Reference section at the back of this dictionary. 谈论过去的时候，needn't have加上后面的过去分词表示做了某事，但后来又发现没有必要：I needn't have gone to the hospital.我其实用不着去医院（我去了，但是没有必要）。didn't need to加上后面的不定式通常表示没有做某事，因为你早已知道没有必要：I didn't need to go to the hospital.我不需要去医院（我没有去，因为没有必要）。有关情态动词的详细用法，参看本词典末“语法便览”部份。
