1. 在非真实条件句中,有时从句的动词所表示的动作和主句的动词所表示的动作并不同时发生,这样的条件句中使用的虚拟式称为混合虚拟式。其构成视具体情况而定。例如:
If I had taken my raincoat when I came out this morning, I would not be wet now.
If I were you, I wouldn’t have missed the film last night.
2.引导非真实条件从句的连词if在正式文体中有时可以省去, were, had, had, should等非行为动词这时应提到从句句首。例如:
If I were you, I wouldn’t feel sorry.
→Were I you, I wouldn’t feel sorry.
3.有些句子从表层结构上看无if引导的非真实条件句, 但从深层意思上看是存在的。这种情况下主句动词仍需用虚拟式。这类句子中常出现without(如果没有),but for(要不是),otherwise(否则),but that (若不,后接一从句)等词或词组。例如:
But for your help, they couldn’t have succeeded.
要不是你的帮助,他们就不会取得成功。
She wasn’t feeling well. Otherwise,she wouldn’t have left the meeting so early.
她感到不舒服。不然她就不会那么早就离开会场的。
4. 在It is + 形容词 + that 从句的句型中,that引导的主语从句中的谓语动词采用should + 动词原形形式,其中should 常省略。可用于此句型的形容词还有:absurd, advisable, better, best, desirable, (un)fair, fortunate, good, imperative, important, incredible, just, natural, (un) necessary, odd, pleasant, possible, preferable, right, ridiculous, sad, silly, unusual, urgent, vital, wrong等,表示必要、应该、建议、要求、惊讶、不相信等意。例如:
It’s necessary that we (should) set out at once.
It’s proposed that a committee (should) be set up to look into the matter.
5. 意为“提议、建议、请求、命令”等意思的动词所带的从句(包括宾语从句和主语从句)中,谓语动词用should + 动词原形形式。美国英语多用动词原形,英国英语多用should + 动词原形。有相同用法的动词还有ask, advise, agree, arrange, beg, command, decide, demand, desire, determine, direct, instruct, insist, intend, maintain, move, order, persuade, pray, propose, recommend, request, require, stipulate, suggest, tell, urge。例如:
I suggest that we (should) go camping tomorrow.
He insisted that our laboratory reports (should) be handed in the day after the experiment was done.
他坚持要求我们将实验报告在做完实验后第二天交上来。
应当注意的是当suggest、insist等词不再表示“建议”或“坚持要求”的含义时,其后的从句不再用虚拟语气。例如:
His look suggested that he wasn’t telling the truth. 他的神色表明他没讲实话。
He insisted that he was right. 他坚持认为他是对的。
