牛津實用英語語法:120 had better+不帶to的不定式
這里had是指不真實的過去;其含義是現在或將來時:
I had/Id better ring him at once/tomorrow.
我最好還是現在/明天就給他打電話。
其否定式是在better之后加上not:
You had better not miss the last bus.
你最好不要誤了最后一班公共汽車。(誤了這趟車是不明智的或者我勸你/提醒你不要誤了這趟車。)
had通常在代詞后用縮略形式,在口語中有時輕讀甚至弱讀到將近聽不到的地步。
had better通常不用于普通的疑問式,但有時用于否定疑問式,作為一種勸告句式:
Hadnt you better ask him first?
你先問一下他不更好嗎?相當于:
Wouldnt it be a good thing to ask him first?
是不是先問一下他比較好?
you had better是一種很有用的勸告句式:
You had better fly.
你最好是乘飛機走。(我勸你乘飛機走。)
在間接引語中,had better與第一、第三人稱連用時保持不變,與第二人稱連用時可以保持不變,或者轉述為advise+賓語+不定式:
He said,I had better hurry.
他說:我最好快一點。相當于:
He said(that)hed better hurry.
他說他最好快一點。
He said,Ann had better hurry.

He said,Youd better hurry.
他說:你最好快一點。相當于:
