Answer 1

1109066117 的回答不完全对.首先,他/她对对话中邀请对方一起去看你网球赛的那个人说的话的理解是对的,即“欣赏网球比赛不需要会打网球”；他、她首先排除 A、B也是对的,但他/她最后选择D却是错了.的确,D 是“没有必要”的意思,但远没有C合适.C的肯定形式,即have to (do..) 是“不得不”的意思,含有被逼无奈的味道.那么其否定式,即 don’t have to,表示的意思类似于”你没必要非那样不可”、“没人逼着你那样”,用在此处就传达了这样的言外之意：我们去看吧,欣赏一场球赛不一定非要自己先是一个优秀球员不可；或者：我们只是去观看,不是上场打,没人要求我们首先一定要是了不起的球员.
don't have to do sth.在英文中很常用,随便再提供几个例句：
1.It's a small information party.You don't have to dress up.这只是一个小小的信息发布会,你不用穿得太正式.
2.At least I don't have to stay here permanently,either.至少我也不需要永远待在这里.
3.Well,you don't have to eat so much when we eat out,you know.呃,你知道的嘛,我们出去吃的时候你可以不必吃那么多啊.
4.I'm now a video game technician,so that means I get to fix the games and don't have to deal with customers at all!现在我是游戏技术人员了,所以我只需要搞定游戏安装和管理,不用再管客人的那些破事了!
