📘 English Definition(英文释义)
- v. i. & auxiliary. To owe; to be under obligation for.
- v. i. & auxiliary. To be obliged; must.
- v. i. & auxiliary. As an auxiliary, shall indicates a duty or
- necessity whose obligation is derived from the person speaking; as, you
- shall go; he shall go; that is, I order or promise your going. It thus
- ordinarily expresses, in the second and third persons, a command, a
- threat, or a promise. If the auxillary be emphasized, the command is
- made more imperative, the promise or that more positive and sure. It is
- also employed in the language of prophecy; as, "the day shall come when
- . . . , " since a promise or threat and an authoritative prophecy
- nearly coincide in significance. In shall with the first person, the
- necessity of the action is sometimes implied as residing elsewhere than
- in the speaker; as, I shall suffer; we shall see; and there is always a
- less distinct and positive assertion of his volition than is indicated
- by will. "I shall go" implies nearly a simple futurity; more exactly, a
- foretelling or an expectation of my going, in which, naturally enough,
- a certain degree of plan or intention may be included; emphasize the
- shall, and the event is described as certain to occur, and the
- expression approximates in meaning to our emphatic "I will go." In a
- question, the relation of speaker and source of obligation is of course
- transferred to the person addressed; as, "Shall you go?" (answer, "I
- shall go"); "Shall he go?" i. e., "Do you require or promise his
- going?" (answer, "He shall go".) The same relation is transferred to
- either second or third person in such phrases as "You say, or think,
- you shall go;" "He says, or thinks, he shall go." After a conditional
- conjunction (as if, whether) shall is used in all persons to express
- futurity simply; as, if I, you, or he shall say they are right. Should
- is everywhere used in the same connection and the same senses as shall,
- as its imperfect. It also expresses duty or moral obligation; as, he
- should do it whether he will or not. In the early English, and hence in
- our English Bible, shall is the auxiliary mainly used, in all the
- persons, to express simple futurity. (Cf. Will, v. t.) Shall may be
- used elliptically; thus, with an adverb or other word expressive of
- motion go may be omitted.
