虚拟语气
英语的动词有三种语气形式,即陈述语气、祈使语气和虚拟语气。陈述语气用来说明事实或就事实提出询问,可用于陈述句、疑问句和某些感叹句中;祈使语气用于表示请求、命令、建议或警告等。 虚拟语气是谓语动词的一种特殊形式,用来表达假设、主观愿望、猜测、建议、可能或空想等非真实情况。如:
He is honest. 他很诚实。 (陈述语气)
Don„t be late next time. 下次别迟到。 (祈使语气)
If I were you ,I would not go. 我要是你,我就不会去。 (虚拟语气)
I wish I had a lot of money. 要是我有很多很多钱就好了。 (虚拟语气) 第一类折叠
使用虚拟语气的常见结构或从句:
1.*wish与hope 接宾语从句的区别在于:hope 表示一般可以实现的希望,宾语从句用陈述语气。wish 表示很难或不大可能实现的希望, 宾语从句用虚拟语气。试比较:
(1) We hope they will come. (We don‟t know if they can come.)
(2) We wish they could come. (We know they are not coming.)我们希望他们能来。
2.if only 与 I wish一样,也用于表示与事实相反的愿望,其后所虚拟语气的时态与 wish 后所接时态的情况相同: If only she had had more courage! 她再勇敢一些就好了。 If only I had listened to my parents! 我要是当时听了父母的话就好了。
If only she would go with me! 她要是愿意和我一道去就好了!
*if only 通常独立使用,没有主句。
3.l would rather后句子用虚拟语气 只分现在和过去
在would rather, would sooner, would just as soon后的that 从句中, 句子谓语习惯上要用虚拟语气, 表示宁愿做什么 ,具体用法为:
① 一般过去时表示现在或将来的愿望
I‟d rather you went tomorrow (now). 我宁愿你明天(现在) 去。
② 用过去完成时表过去的愿望
I‟d rather you hadn‟t said it. 我真希望你没有这样说过。
4.l as if (though)从句用虚拟语气
以as if (as though)引导的方式状语从句或表语从句,有时用虚拟语气, 则与wish 用法相同,例:
He acts as if he knew me. 他显得认识我似的。
They treat me as though I were a stranger. 他们待我如陌生人。
He talks as if he had been abroad. 他说起话来好像曾经出过国。
注:两点说明
(1) 从句所表示的内容若为事实或可能为事实,也可用陈述语气:
It looks as if we‟ll be late. 我们似乎要迟到了。
(2) 注意 It isn‟t as if…的翻译:
It isn‟t as if he were poor. 他不像穷的样子(或他又不穷) 。 第二类折叠
