... had better + V ...
结构︰主词＋had better＋原形动词…
说明︰此句型意为“最好…；还是…为好”。用 had better 来执行和一个<助动词>一样的功能。“had better have＋过去<分词>”表“最好已经…”之意；“had best ...”则是“以…为最佳”，比 had better… 的意思还要强调。
You had better consult a doctor soon.
你最好快点去看医生。

警察对他说：“你最好跟我来，并告诉我这次事故的经过。”

你留在家里那是最好。

May you + V ...
结构︰May＋第二、三人称主词＋动词原形＋其他
说明︰此句型意为“祝…”。may 此处表示祝福与愿望，多用於书面语中，口语中有时也用，但显得较庄重。本<句型>的特点是：may 不是在<主词>后面，而是摆在句子开头，使全句成倒装语序，表达出祝愿的意义。
May you recover soon!
愿您早日康复！
May you succeed in business.
祝您生意兴隆！
May our two parties achieve even greater successes in our business.
祝我们双方在生意中取得更大的成功。
may well + V ...
结构︰may well + 原形动词
说明︰此句型意为“理当…；大可…”。may 是<助动词>，well 是<副词>，后接原形<动词>。若将 well 置於<主词>前面，可加强<语气>。
You may well find that the end of the book is better than the beginning.
你应该会发现这本书的结尾比开头好。
You may well get angry with him.
你大可对他发脾气。

无限度的武器竞赛当然会增加战争的危险性。

may as well + V ...
结构︰may as well＋原形动词
说明︰此句型意为“最好…；不妨…”。等於 had better，但<语气>比较委婉。

晚餐后我们不妨离开桌子。
You may as well keep it a secret.
你最好将这件事保密。

你的体格不壮，因此最好注意健康。
...may as well ... as ...
结构︰may／might as well＋原形动词 A＋as＋原形动词 B
说明︰此句型意为“与其 B 倒不如 A”。相当於“had better A than B”。“may as well ... as”实现的可能性较大，而“might as well ... as”实现的可能性较小。

既然雨下得这么大，你与其离开倒不如待在这儿。
