用法
(1)Depending on the sense, the verb need behaves sometimes like an auxiliary verb (such as can or may ) and sometimes like a main verb (such as want or try ). When used as a main verb, need agrees with its subject, takes to before the verb following it, and combines with do in questions, negations, and certain other constructions:
根據語義，動詞need 有時當作助動詞來使用（如 can 或 may )， 有時象實義動詞（如want 或 try )。 當用作實義動詞時，need 和主語一致， 把to 放在其後面動詞的前面， 在疑問句、否定句或某些特定的造句法上和do 連用：
He needs to go.
他想走。
Does he need to go so soon?
他這麼快就要走嗎?
He doesn't need to go.
他不需要走。
(2)When used as an auxiliary verb, need does not agree with its subject, does not take to before the verb following it, and does not combine with do :
當用作助動詞時，need 不用和主語一致， 不用把to 放在其後動詞的前面， 並且不用和do 連用：
He needn't go.
他不必走。
Need he go so soon?
他這麼快就要走嗎?
(3)The auxiliary forms of need are used primarily in present-tense questions, negations, and conditional clauses. They differ subtly in meaning from the main verb forms in that they always refer to an externally imposed obligation. Hence one might say You needn't (or less formally, don't need to ) fill out both forms, but where the sense of necessity is internal to the subject, only the main verb can be used:
Need 的助動詞形式主要用於現在時態的疑問句、否定句和條件句中。 它們在意思上和用作實義動詞的形式有細微的區別，它們總指外部加強的壓力。因此我們可以說你沒必要 （或不太正規的 don't need to ) 填兩份表格 ， 但是對於物體來說需要的意思是內在的，所以只能用實義動詞：
I don't need to (not needn't ) be told how to manage my own affairs.
我不需要（而不是 needn't ) 被告訴怎知管理自己的事情 。
(4)Note also that the use of need as an auxiliary is often accompanied by a presupposition that the activity in question has in fact been performed. The boys needn't have spoken frankly implies that they did in fact speak frankly, whereas the sentence The boys did not need to speak frankly does not; only the latter could be followed by a clause like they conveyed their meanings by indirection.
還需注意need 用作助動詞時經常伴隨一個先決條件， 質問的動作事實上已經完成了。那些男孩們本來不需要坦誠相告的 意味著他們事實上已經坦率地說了， 然而這個句子男孩們不需要坦誠地說話 就沒有這個意思； 只有後者可以在其後跟這樣一個句子，如他們間接地表達他們的意思
