For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also events that unite people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it-some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer.

情态动词+have done表示对过去情况的推测, 除了must/may/might/can/could have done外, 还有以下几种形式。

汤姆, 你太懒惰了。这项工作本来应该昨天就做完的。

I ought to have gone home last Sunday.
我理应上星期日回家。
You ought not to have given him more help.
你本来不应该帮助他那么多。
(4)need have done表示“本来需要做某事而没有做”。needn’t have done则表示“本来不需要做某事而做了”。
