Life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them on reading valueless books. ----- Ruskin
  生命是短暂的,生命中的宁静时刻更少,我们不应该浪费时间去读没有价值的书。------罗斯金
  ought to, indicating obligation,表示责任和义务。例如:We ought to start at once.我们应该马上动身。Such things ought not to be allowed.这类事情不该容许。
  ought to, also indicating advice or recommendation.表示劝告或推荐的意思。例如:You ought to improve your English before going to work in American.你应该把英语学好些再去美国工作。
  ought to也表示推测性的结论。例如:If he start at nine, he ought to be here by now.要是他九点出发,现在该到这儿了。
  这里,我们再来看一下must和ought to的区别。Must用以表示说话者命令或期待做成某事。例如:The children must be back by 4 o’clock.孩子必须4点钟以前回来。Ought to表示说话者发出指令,但暗含对方是否听从并无把握之意。例如:She really ought to be leaving now.她现在可真该走了。
  生命的可贵,正因其短暂,应该珍惜时间,做值得我们去做的事情。
