确实,"had better" 和 "must" 都是用来表达义务、必要性或建议的情态动词,但它们的用法和语气有所不同。

had better 主要用于给出建议或忠告,强调某种行为是有益的或更为明智的选择。它通常用于现在或将来的情况,而不是过去的情况。"had better" 没有人称和数的变化,总是使用 "had" 形式。否定结构是在 "better" 之后加上 "not" 来构成。

例如:

must 则用于表达义务、必要性或强烈的信念,通常与道德、法律或规则相关。"must" 根据主语的人称和数有不同的形式(I must, you must, he/she/it must, we must, they must)。否定结构是在情态动词前加上 "not" 来构成。

例如:

在使用时,"must" 的语气比 "had better" 强烈,通常用于表达更加严肃或紧迫的情况。而 "had better" 则更加温和,侧重于提供建议或预防不良后果。

在你给出的例子中,"had better" 和 "must" 都被用来表达建议或必要性,但 "must" 的用法强调了续借书籍的紧迫性和义务性,而 "had better" 则更多地用于给出建议或提醒。通过这些例子,我们可以看出两者在语境和语气上的细微差别。
