虚拟语气

一、概念

[Subjunctive Mood]
中文译作"虚拟语气"。它是一种动词形式,表示说话人的某种假设、愿望、怀疑、猜测、建议等含义。


二、语法结构
  1.if结构(非真实条件句——表示的是假设的或实际可能性不大的情况)
   
        与..事实相反        If从句                          主句
        过去                 Had done                          Would* have done
        现在                 Were/did                          Would* do
        将来                 Should do/were/were to do   Would* do

        例句:If there hadn’t been much rain in spring, we would have had a good harvest now.  [过去]
              If he smoked less, his cough might be well soon.                                  [现在]
              If the lecturer should be late, you would have to make a speech first.            [将来]

       备注:
       (1)上表中’would*’可转换为should、could、might。 
       (2) 如果为时间错综句的话,左右两栏可互相搭配,排列组合。
           例句:
              He would still be alive today if he hadn’t taken that drug.
                         [与现在事实相反]      [与过去事实相反]

        (3)  if可转换为其他形式
           例句:Without your advice, our meeting wouldn’t have been so successfully.         [过去]
               (=>可转换为:If there hadn’t been your advice, we …)
                Your notes are almost illegible (难以辨认的). Notes typed out would be a lot easier to      read.                                                                          [将来]
                (=> 可转换为:If the notes had been typed out, it would be a lot easier to read.)
                I should have gone to see Dr. Smith and he might have cured me of the disease.[过去]
                 (=> 可转换为:If he have gone to see Dr. Smith, he ..)

   2、wish结构

       与..事实相反       
       过去                Had done
       现在                Were/did
       将来                Would
  
      备注:可转换为其他形式。
      例句:He talks as if (好像)  he had done all the work himself.             [过去]
            I wish I were a bird.
            I wish he handn' done that.
            I wish I would be rich in the future.
      3、should结构
         从句中用“should + 动词原形”构成。而且should可以省去。用于此结构的动词有:advise, direct, agree, ask, demand, decide, desire, insist, order, prefer, propose, request, suggest,intend等。
         例句:The teacher suggest he (should) read English aloud.

         注意:当insist表示“坚持认为”、suggest表示“表明,显示”时,不用虚拟语气。

         例句:The look on his face suggested that he was quite satisfied with what I had done for him.

               He insisted that he was honest. 

     4、would rather +从句
        在这种结构中,从句的谓语动词用过去形式表示虚拟。

       例句:I would rather you did this instead of me.

     5、主语从句中的虚拟语气

         1)It be + 形容词 + that ...(should)...

         用于该句型的形容词是:necessary, good, important, right, wrong, better, natural, proper, funny,
         strange, surprising .

         一些名词也可以用于 在该结构中。如:a pity, no wonder....

         2)It be + 过去分词 + that ...(should)....

         用于该结构中的过去分词是表示“建议、请求、命令”等词的过去分词。如:desired, suggested, requested,
         ordered, proposed等。

         3)It is time(about time, high time)that ...(过去式动词形式或should+动词原形)....

         It is high time I went home now. = It is high time I should go home now.

    6、表语从句、同位语从句中的虚拟语气
         在suggestion, proposal, order, plan, idea, advice, decision等需要有内涵的名词后面的表语从句、同
         位语从句中,要使用虚拟语气。其谓语动词应用:should+原形动词。另外连接从句的that不能省
         略。

         例:My suggestion is that we should go there at once.

             What do you think of his proposal that we should put on a play at the English evening?


 

三、使用范围及判断
     1、虚拟语气表示一种不能实现的假设。该语法主要用于if条件状语从句。也可用于主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句等。

      2、if条件状语从句中虚拟语气的判断

      判断是真实条件句还是非真实条件句。只有在非真实条件句中才使用虚拟语气。通过句子意思,看假设的条件是否能够实现,能够实现是真实条件句,不能使用虚拟语气;假设的条件不能实现则是非真实条件句,要用虚拟语气。

      判断这个假设是与哪个事实相反。通常有三种情况:①与过去事实相反。②与现在事实相反。③与将来事实可能相反。

      3、“后退一步法”

      后退一步法是指在准确地判断了该句与哪一事实相反后,按虚拟语气的后退一步法处理从句谓语动词的时态。即:在非真实条件状语从句中,谓语动词按正常情况“后退一步”。也就是:

      1)与过去事实相反,在从句中用过去完成时形式表示。

      2)与现在事实相反,在从句中用过去一般时形式表示。

      3)与将来事实可能相反,在从句中用过去将来时形式表示。

      主句中则用情态动词would, should, could 等加一个与从句一致的动词形式。

      例:If I had come her yesterday, I would have seen him.

          If I were a teacher, I would be strict with my students.

          If it should snow tomorrow, they couldn’t go out.

四、注意事项

      1.if条件从句中如有were, should, had,可以省去if,并使用倒装语序。
     
      2、在现代英语中if条件状语从句中的谓语动词如果是be其过去形式一般用were。

      3、wish 后面宾语从句中的虚拟语气,按“后退一步法”处理从句的谓语动词。注意:与哪个事实相反,不能以主句的时态为判断依据,而是根据从句的意义判断。
