may [might] (just) as well…
意為“不妨”、“還是…為好”等,用 might 比用 may 語(yǔ)氣更委婉.如：
I’m ready,so I might as well go now．我已準(zhǔn)備好,因此不妨現(xiàn)在就走.
There’s nothing to do, so I may [might] as well go to bed. 既然沒(méi)什么事可做,我還是去睡覺(jué)為好.
注：might as well 還可用于指過(guò)去的情況或用于比較兩個(gè)令人不愉快的情況：
This holiday isn’t much fun; we might as well be back home. 這個(gè)假日過(guò)得真沒(méi)意思,我們還不如呆在家里.
