问题: 表推测时must与can到区别?

23. We had been away for twenty years. You______ imagine how delighted we were when meeting
A, must B. can C. will D. might
答案给的B,must也表推测,选must可以吗?在这题怎么区别?

解答:

must不是推测的意思而must be才是推测的意思。你看你自己出的例句就清楚了。
It must be raining.
It must be true.
这是因为must be 作为推测是,实际的句法是:
it must be the case that....
即:
it must be the case that it is raining
it must be the case that it is true.
更多例子:
he must be lying=it must be the case that he is lying. 他一定是在撒谎。
he must be a southerner=it must be the case that he is a southerner. 他肯定是个南方人。
must+除了be以外的动词没有推测的意思。所以这道题要选can而不能选must。
