    注意情态动词完成式的用法有两方面的含义：
    1.表示已经发生的情况
      (1)must have +过去分词，表示对已发生情况的肯定推测，译为"(昨天)一定……"。如：
     My pain must have been apparent the moment I walked into the room, for the first man I met asked sympathetically: "Are you feeling all right?"
     (2)cant/couldn't have +过去分词，表示对已发生情况的否定推测，译为"(昨天)一定没……"。 如：
     Mary couldn't have received my letter; otherwise she would have replied before now.
     (3)may/might have +过去分词，表示对已发生的事情做不肯定、可能性很小的推测，或事实上根本没发生，译为"也许……"。如：
     At Florida Power's Crystal River plant, a potentially serious leakage of radioactive water may have been unknowingly caused by an electrician.
     2.表示虚拟语气
     (1)needn't have+过去分词，表示做了不必做的事，译为"其实没必要……"。如：

     (3)ought to have+过去分词，表示动作按理该发生了，但实际上未发生，译为"该……"，与should的完成式含义类似。如：
     The porter ought to have called the fire-brigade as soon as he saw the fire in the stock, which went up in smoke.
     (4)could have+过去分词，表示过去本来可以做但却未做，译为"完全可以……"。如：
