下面该你发言了丨这一回该我了吧?丨这个工作该老张来担任。注意有时带“着”(・zhe):今天晚上该着你值班了。b)理应如此,毫不委屈(多单用):活该丨该!谁叫他淘气来着。

Now it's your turn to speak | Is it my turn this time? | Old Zhang should take on this job. Note: sometimes used with 'zhe': It's your turn to be on duty tonight. b) It serves (someone) right, well-deserved (often used alone): Serves you right | Serves him right! Who told him to be naughty.

应该丨该说的一定要说丨你累了,该休息一下了丨该两天干的活儿,一天就干完了丨十五斤分三份儿,每份儿该是五斤。b)表示根据情理或经验推测应当如此:天一凉,就该加衣服了丨再不浇水,花都该蔫了。注意用在感叹句中兼有加强语气的作用,如:我们的责任该有多重啊!丨要是水泵今天就运到,该多么好哇!

Should; ought to | What should be said must be said | You're tired, you should rest a bit | Work that should take two days was finished in one day | Fifteen jin divided into three portions, each portion should be five jin. b) Indicates a reasonable inference based on logic or experience: When it gets cold, one should add clothing | If we don't water them, the flowers will wilt. Note: when used in exclamatory sentences, it also serves to intensify the tone, such as: How heavy our responsibility must be! | If the water pump arrives today, how wonderful that would be!
