如If the pure water is heated to 100℃, it will boil. 如果纯净的水加热至100℃，它就会沸腾。will的这种用法经常会出现在科技英语中。上题由于将“only in summer”

置于句首，所以要使用倒装结构。

2. will“愿、要，会”表示意志、意愿，决心，诺言等。例如：

I have made up my mind to go and I will. （意志）

We will fight on until final victory is won.

I will do my best to help you.（意愿）

I won’t do it any more ,I promise. (诺言)

She will not shove（[ʃʌv] 1. 推;撞2. 乱塞,乱放3. 强使）the heavy load on to others.

﹡will 表示现在的意愿，would表示过去的意愿。如：

Go where you will. 你愿到哪里就到哪里。

He wouldn’t help me yesterday. 他昨天不愿帮助我。

I wouldn’t go. 我不会去。

A. You may ask for help.

人的忙”。“I will give you a hand.”翻译为：我愿意帮忙。

﹡--—Don’t forget to come to my birthday party tomorrow.

--— ________.（94全国卷）

A. I don’t

B. I wo n’t

C. I can’t

D. I haven’t

【解析】答案B。will表示决心，此回答是省略句，补充完整是“I won’t forget to go

to your birthday party tomorrow.”。“I won’t.”翻译为：我决不会忘记的。

3. 表示说话人向对方提出请求或询问对方的意思，有“你…..好吗、你愿…..”。(这时

will与 would 通用，而would更委婉，也可以用won’t)

﹡We forgot to bring our tickets, but please let us enter,_________ ?(06全国卷2) A. do you B. can you C. will you D. shall we

【解析】答案为C。题中but后面的句子“please let us enter, will you?”是以let us

开头的祈使句，它加上will you构成反意疑问句，这里will you表示提出请求。will在

疑问句中用于第二人称时，表示说话人向对方提出请求或询问，有“你……好吗”之意。此

句翻译为：我们忘了带票，请你让我们进去，好吗？

4. will表示说话人的猜测，意为“大概”。如：
