Subjunctive Mood
虚拟语气, 表示动作或状态不是客观存在的事实,而是说话人的主观愿望,假设或推测等。如 If I were you, I should study English.
1. 非真实条件句
1)If I knew his telephone number, I would tell you.
如果我知道他的电话号码,我就会告诉你。(事实:不知道)
2)If I had got there earlier, I should/could have met her.
如果我早到那儿,我就会见到她。(事实:去晚了)
3)If there were a heavy snow next Sunday, we would not go skating.
如果下周日下大雪,我们就不能去滑冰了。(事实:下雪可能性很小)
2. 虚拟语气在名词性从句中的应用
“wish+宾语从句”表示不可能实现的愿望,汉语可译为“可惜……、悔不该……、但愿……”。
表示现在不能实现的愿望,从句的谓语动词用过去式;
表示将来不可能实现的愿望用“would/could+动词原形”;
表示过去不可能实现的愿望时用“had+过去分词”。
如: I wish I were better-looking. 要是我长得再漂亮些就好了。
I wish I had met the film star just now. 我要是刚才遇到那位电影明星该多好啊!
I wish I would be a solider. 我想当一名军人。
3. 在表示建议、要求、愿望、命令、坚持、想法
(advise, command, demand, decide, desire, insist, order, prefer, propose, request,
require, suggest) 等动词后面的宾语从句,或这些动词的同源名词后面所跟的
同位语从句或表语从句中,从句谓语用“should+动词原形”,其中在美国英语中,should常省略。
“一个坚持(insist)、两个命令(order, command)、三个建议(advise, suggest, propose)、四个要求(demand, require, request, ask)”
e.g. The doctor advised that he change his job. 医生建议他换工作。
4. 在It is +形容词(important, necessary, good, right, wrong, better, natural, proper, essential, advisable, preferable, strange, surprising) +that从句中,谓语动词的虚拟语气用“(should)+动词原形”的结构。
如:It is natural that she (should) do so. 很自然她应该这样做。
It is necessary that she (should) be sent there at once.
