第四十三讲 假设(2)与现在事实相反的虚拟语气
1、if从句是一种虚拟的条件或假设,与现在事实相反。主从句时态具体如下:
从句:动词用过去式(be用were)
主句:would/could/should/might+动词原形
If I were you,I would join them. 与现在事实相反:“我不可能是你”
She would come with you if you invited her. 与现在事实相反:说明 “没有邀请”已经发生。 虚拟语气:是在事实发生后,做出的与事实相反的假设。 She will come with you if you invite her. 单纯假设:说明“邀请”还未发生
2、练习:
If I knew (know) his telephone number, I would tell (tell) you.
45
If I had (have) any money with me, I would lend (lend) you some.
If I were (be) you, I would take(take) an umbrella.
第四十四讲 假设(3)与过去事实相反的虚拟语气 1、if从句是一种虚拟的条件或假设,和过去事实相反。 主从句的时态具体如下: 从句:had done
主句:would/could/should/might+ have done
If I had got there earlier, I should have met her.
If he had taken my advice, he would not have made such a mistake.
2、练习:
If he had studied (study) harder, he might have passed the exam.
If there had been (be) a heavy snow, we should not have gone (not go)skating.
If I had got (get) there earlier, I would have met (meet) her.
第四十五讲 假设(4)
46
wish(愿望、希望)/as if(看上去) +过去时/过去完成时/ would/should/could+动词原形
1、wish后面的从句,译为:“希望……就好了”,是不可能实现的假设。
a.与现在事实相反的愿望 I wish I were as tall as you.
I wish+一般过去时
现在许的愿,且与现在的事实相反(事实已发生) b.与过去事实相反的愿望
He wished he hadn’t said that.
I wished+过去完成时
过去许的愿,且与过去的事实相反(事实已发生) c.将来不大可能实现的愿望 I wish it would rain tomorrow.
I wish+ would/should/could+动词原形 现在许的愿,且将来不大可能实现(事实尚未发生)
小结:wish后面的从句:与现在事实相反则用一般过去时,与过去事实相反则用过去完成时,将来不大可能实现的愿望则用“would/should/could+动词原形”。wish主句则根据许愿的时间分别用一般现在时或一般过去时。
2、as if,翻译为“看起来好像……” a.从句表示与现在事实相反,用一般过去时
You look as if you didn’t care. 你看起来一点也不在乎。(实际在乎的)
47
b.从句表示与过去事实相反,用过去完成时
He talks about Rome as if he had been there before. 他谈论罗马好像他以前去过。(实际没去过)
c.从句表示将来不大可能发生,用“would/should/could+动词原形”
He opened his mouth as if he would say something. 他张开嘴好像要说点什么(说的可能性很小)
3、练习:
I wish I were (be) as tall as you.
He talks as if he knew (know) where she was. I wish it would rain (rain) tomorrow.
第四十六讲 定语从句(关系代词)which,that,who,whom,whose
定语从句:修饰或限定一个名词或代词的从句,被修饰的名词叫先行词。定语从句由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引出。
1、关系代词:在从句中做一定的成分,代替先行词,起到连接先行词和从句的作用。
常用关系代词:which,that,who,whom,whose,只起连接作用,无实义,不用翻译。
如:The girl whom/that I spoke to is my cousin.
a.先行词是人的话用that,who,whom,whose来引导定语从句。 “whom”在从句中作宾语
