be型虚拟语气及倒装

be-型虚拟式的主要用法如下。

用于表示命令、决定、建议等词语之后的that-分句中

be-型虚拟式的这一用法又有以下三种情况:

a)用在decide, decree, demand,

insist,moveorder,prefer,propose,recommend,request,require,suggest,vote等动词之后的that分句中。例如:

He ordered that all the books be sent at once.

We propose that somebody neutral take the chair(担任主席)。

She insisted that she go to the south for her holiday.

Congress has decided /voted/ decreed that the present law be maintained.

The doctor insisted that he not eat meat.

b)用在decision, decree, demand, Instruction, order, requirement, resolution等名词之后的that-分句中。例如:

The board(理事会) has given instructions that the agent fly to Boston.

We were faced with the demand that this tax be abolished.

Your advice that she wait till next week is reasonable.

Their decision was that the school remain closed.

His order that the troops not be sent at once was carried out.

在这一用法中be-型虚拟式能与“should +不定式”交替使用,也能与不定式被动语态交替使用。例如:

He ordered that the books be sent at once.

=He ordered that books should be sent at once.

=He ordered the books to be sent at once.

It is important that she be placed in an appropriate job.

=It is important that she should be placed in an appropriate job.

=It is important for her to be placed in an appropriate job.

be-型虚拟式能用于由if, though, whatever, lest, so long as等引导的分句中表示推测、让步、防备等含义。例如:

If he be found guilty, John shall have the tight of appeal.

If the rumour be true, everything is possible.

Though everyone desert you, I will not

Whatever be his defense, we cannot tolerate this disloyalty.

So long as a volume hold together, I am not disturbed as to its outer appearance.

Whether she be right or wrong, she will have my unswerving support.

Quietly we sat on the river bank lest the fish swim away.

上述用法现在只限于正式书面语体,在非正式语体中通常用动词陈述式或者用should/may+不定式。例如: If the rumour is true, everything is possible.

He hid himself in the bush lest he should be seen.

Whatever his defense may be, we can\'t tolerate this disloyalty.

be-型虚拟式用于某些公式化语句中可表示祝愿、诅咒、禁止等意义。例如:

Long live the People\'s Republic of China!

God bless you!

Heaven forbid!(天理不容)

Devil take him!(混蛋)

So be it.(但愿如此/就这样吧。)

Far be it from me to(我极不愿) spoil the fun.

He will remain here if need be.

Home is home,be it ever so homely.

语法----倒装 英语句子的语序通常是主语在前,谓语在后,这种语序称作正常语序或自然语序。但有时出于语法或达到某种修辞目的(强调、承上启下、平衡等)的需要,要把谓语动词放在主语前面,这种语序称作倒装(Inversion)语序。将谓语动词完全移至主语之前,称完全倒装(Full Inversion);如果只是把助动词或情态动词放在主语之前,称为部分倒装。
