专四语法第13节-虚拟语气

第十三节虚拟语气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、可能或纯粹的空想等非真实情况。

一if非真实条件句中的虚拟语气1.if非真实条件句的基本用法由if引导的非真实条件句表示对现在、过去、将来的事实进行假设时,主句与从句中谓语动词的形式可以分为以下三类:The victim would have had a chance to survive if he had been taken to hospital in time.遇难者如果及时送往医院,他本来就有机会活下来的。

(与过去事实相反)If I knew his telephone number,I would tell you.如果我知道他的电话号码,我会告诉你。

(与现在事实相反)If there should be a heavy snow next Sunday,we would not go skating.如果下周日下大雪的话,我们就不去滑冰了。

(表将来)[专四真题] If there were no subjunctive mood, English ______ much easier to learn. could have been B. would be C. will be D. would have been译文:如果没有虚拟语气,英语学习起来就会更容易了。

分析:本题表示与现在事实相反的假设。

表现与现在事实相反,条件从句用一般过去时,主句使用should(would)+动词原形,故B为答案。

A项could have been 是对过去事实的假设,与从句所表示的现在事实不吻合;C项will be 不可以用于虚拟语气中;D 是与过去事实相反的假设的虚拟语气从句形式。

2.省略if的虚拟条件句的用法在虚拟条件句中,如果从句中含有were, had或should等词时,可将if省去,把were, had或should等提到主句之前,引起倒装。

如果句中没有were, had或should等,则不能省略if,也不能用倒装结构。

[专四真题] _____for the fact that she broke her leg, she might passed the exam. Had it not been B. Hadn’t it been C. Was it not D.W ere it not译文:要不是因为摔断了腿,他或许已经通过了考试。

分析:由于主语从句使用了might have done 结构,说明此句表示的内容与过去事实相反,故条件状语从句中应该使用had done 结构。

若要将虚拟条件句中的连词省去,则需将助动词提到主语前面,否定词位置不变,因此A项Had it not been 为正确答案。

3.错综时间虚拟条件句有些时候,条件从句表示的动作和主语表示的动作发生在不同的时间,比如一个是过去发生的,一个是现在发生的。

这时,主句和从句的谓语动词要根据自己所指的不同时间选用适当的虚拟形式。

如:If they had invited me, I would go with them now. 如果他邀请过我,我现在就和他们一起走了。

[专四真题]____if I had arrived yesterday without letting you know beforehand? A.Would you be surprised B.Were you surprisedC. Had you been surprisedD. Would you been surprised 译文:如果我昨天不事先打招呼就来了,你会觉得吃惊吗?分析:这是一个错综时间虚拟条件句。

从句是对过去事实的假设,而主句问的是回答者现在的感受,因此主句应该为Would you be surprised,答案为A。

二介词或介词短语表示虚拟条件有些介词或介词短语隐含条件之义,其虚拟形式与if引导的非真实条件状语从句类似,需根据从句所用的时态,来选择主句的谓语形式。

这些词包括:without(没有),but for(要不是),in the absence of(如果没有),were it not for(要是没有),but that(若不是)等。

But for their help, we could not have finished the work on time.要不是他们的帮助,我们就不可能按时完成那项工作。

(表过去)Without electricity, there would not be modern industry.没有电,就没有现代工业。

(表现在)In the absence of gravity,there would be no air around the earth.如果没有重力,地球周围就没有空气。

(表现在)三宾语从句中的虚拟语气1.wish引导的宾语从句中的虚拟语气主要形式为:表示对现在的假设时,从句的谓语动词为一般过去式(be动词用were)。

表示对过去的假设时,从句的谓语动词为“had+过去分词”或“could/would have+过去分词”。

表示对将来的愿望时,从句的谓语动词用“would/could/might+动词原形”。

Sometimes I wish I lived in a different time and a different place.有时候我希望自己生活在一个不同的时间和空间里。

(表现在)I wish I were as strong as you.我希望像你一样健壮。

(表现在)He didn’t go to the party, but he does wish he had been there.他没有去舞会,不过他很希望自己当时在那里。

(表过去)I wish prices would come down.我希望物价能降下来。

(表将来)2.had hoped表示过去没有实现的愿望,意为“本来想要,但愿”,其后的宾语从句用“would+动词原形”表示虚拟。

I had hoped that I wouldn’t bore you by talking about my children. 但愿我谈论我的孩子没有使你厌倦。

3.would rather, would sooner, would just as soon, might as well, would prefer之后的宾语从句用虚拟语气表示愿望,意为“宁愿”,“但愿”。

表示对现在或将来的愿望:would rather/sooner+主语+动词过去时(be动词用were);表示对过去的愿望:would rather/sooner+主语+动词过去完成时。

I would rather I had not gone to the party yesterday evening.要是我昨天晚上没有去参加那个晚会就好了。

(表过去)I would rather/sooner you came tomorrow.我宁愿你明天来。

(表将来)4.在表示命令、建议或要求等动词后的宾语从句中要求用虚拟语气,谓语形式为“(should)+动词原形”。

这类动词有:ask(要求),advise(建议),suggest (建议),request(请求;要求),commend(推荐),decide(决定),determine (决定),insist(坚持认为),intend(打算),prefer(更喜欢;宁愿),propose (提议),order(命令),recommend(推荐),imagine(想象)等。

I suggested that you (should)try to understand him.我曾建议你试着去理解他。

They demanded that the aggressor troops (should) be withdrawn immediately.他们要求立即撤出侵略军。

【专四真题】My boss ordered that the legal documents______ to him before lunch. be sent B.were sent C.were to be sent D.must be sent译文:我老板下令午饭前必须交给他那些法律文件。

分析:若主句谓语动词为suggest, demand, order, propose, request等表示建议、要求、命令等语气的动词,后面的宾语从句要用虚拟语气,谓语动词用“(should+)动词原形”,因此选A。

四主语从句中的虚拟语气虚拟语气用于主语从句的常见结构是“It is+形容词/名词/过去分词+that引导的主语从句”,主语从句的谓语动词为“(should)+动词原形”。

适用此结构的词包括:形容词:advisable(可取的,明智的),appropriate(适当的),desirable(想要的),essential (必需的),fundamental(基本的),imperative(命令的),important(重要的),necessary (必要的),proper(适当的),urgent(紧急的,急迫的),vital(至关重要的)等。

名词:a pity(可惜),a shame(耻辱;羞愧),no wonder that(难怪)等。

过去分词:arranged(安排,计划),desired(渴望),requested(请求),suggested (建议),recommended(推荐),required(必需),demanded(要求)等。

It is essential that these application forms(should)be sent as early as possible.重要的是把这些申请表尽早寄出去。

It is highly desirable that a new president(should)be appointed for this college.大家非常希望一位新校长来管理这所大学。

【专四真题】It is imperative that the government______more investment into the shipbuilding industry.A. attractsB. shall attractC. attractD. has to attract译文:势在必行的是,政府应该在船坞制造业吸引更多的投资。

分析:It is imperative that…表明that从句需要使用虚拟语气,其形式为“should+动词原形”,其中should可以省略,故答案为C。
