04、coulda =could have本来可能
coulda 的全称是 could have意思:本来可以是一种虚拟语气,情况和现在相反比如:I coulda had lots of money if I got the chance.如果我抓住机会,我就会很有钱。(说明没有抓住机会,现在没钱)
根据英语的语法情态动词后一般是直接加动词的所以 coulda 不要理解为 could to《码头风云》中的一句台词:
I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could've been somebody , instead of a bum , which is what I am.
我本可以跻身上流,我本可以是个竞争者,我本可以是任何有头有脸的人,而不是一个毫无价值的游民!类似的还有 shoulda,woulda
shoulda(should have) 本应该
musta(must have) 一定做了什么
