有读者问: 有这样一个句子:
(1)The talk...allowed her to make him a Swiss cheese sandwich and a pot of tea and begin dressing the turkey: salting, peppering, stuffing it with not quite stale enough bread but it'll have to do, ...
“it'll have to do”是什么意思? 为何用将来一般时?
这是一现成说法,所以上下文虽皆是叙说过去,但仍不改变其时态。它的意思是“就是这样”, 其含意是: 火鸡肉所填塞的面包虽不很新鲜,但这样也就行了。作“行,可以”解的不及物动词do还有如:
(2)It will do .
(3)That won't do .
