用法
In many Southern varieties of English, might is used in the 「double modal」 construction with could, as in We might could park over there. Less frequently, one hears may can and might should. These constructions are not familiar to the majority of American speakers and are best avoided in formal writing.
在許多南方英語的變異中，might 可以與 could 一起用於「雙情態動詞」結構中， 如我們可以把車停在那邊。 還有些時候，有人會使用may can 和 might could。 對於大部分美國人來說，這種用法並不常見，在正式的書面英語中最好避免使用
