1. ought是什么意思

1. 應當：邊沁把"善"規定為"最大多數人的最大幸福",混淆了"善性"與幸福、功利之類自然屬性或"善的東西",犯了從"是"(is)中求"應當"(ought)的錯誤. 另一種是形而上學倫理學,以康德為代表. 這類倫理學把"善性"等同于超自然、超感覺的實在.

2. 必須：人們一般用來否定力量的字眼多為[應該](should)與[必須](ought)二字,當事人應去察覺自己是否經常使用那些字眼教別人做這做那. 若能將[我應該]以[我選擇]或[我想要]來取代,那么就可使他們采取主動的態度,而降低被驅使的感覺,

3. 須：即可幫助他們通過 為自己的決定負責來接受自己,并發掘出潛在的力量.人們一般用來否定力量的 字眼多為[應該](should)與[必須](ought)二字,當事人應去察覺自己是否經常使用 那些字眼教別人做這做那.若能將[我應該]以[我選擇]或[我想要]來取代,

aux.(助動詞)

ought常接不定式符號to,用作情態動詞表示責任或義務時作“應該”解,表示勸告或推薦時作“應當”解,表示推論時作“可能會”解,但都不及must語氣強烈。其否定形式為ought not to,也可縮寫成oughtn't to。

在美式英語中, ought to在否定句或疑問句中可省去to。

在間接引語中,表示過去時ought to形式不變; ought to與完成時連用時多數情況下表示與過去事實相反的情況,含意為“更早的時間應該如何”; ought to還可表示將來的情況,但前面不能加will。

ought to表示推論時在大多數情況下沒有must肯定,但某些場合也含有很大的可能性。

aux.(助動詞)

ought to, should

二者都有“應該,應當”的意思。用ought to語氣更嚴峻一些,多指按道義、法律、身體情況應當如何,具有一定的針對性; should更親切一些,表示講話人的關心,為了避免使對方感到不自在,常可用should代替ought to。
