再说虚拟语气
漳县一中李振华
关键词：语气是动词的一种形式，虚拟语气表示动作或状态不是客观存在的事实，表示说话人的主观原望，假设或推测等。为了方便记忆，可归纳为一种定语从句，两种目的状语从句，三种随时变化句，四种名词性从句，五种特殊句。
1 It’s time that ﹢…这一结构引导的定语从句谓语动词一般用“过去时”。意思是该干身什么的时候了，含有建议的意思。
It’s about time that we ate lunch.
It’s time we went to bed.
It’s high time we studied English.
Time 前用about 和high 表示强调
2 目的状语从句
So that ,in order that
Our teacher spoke slowly so that we could hear clearly.
The man saved as much as he could in order that he might buy
a car of his own.
3 三种随时变化句。即if条件句，wish 引导的宾语从句和as if 引导的状语从句。总是把语气表现的时态往前推一步。即：用一般过去时表示一般现在时，过去完成时表示一般过去时，过去将来时
表示一般将来时。
⑴ If 条件句
If Iwere you ,I would give an AIDS patient a hug.（现在 )
If my watch had not stopped, I should have been on time .（过去 )
If it rained/were to rain/should rain, the crops would be saved( 将来 )
此外，应注意：
If 条见句中若含有should ,had , were时，可省略if,把这些词置于句首，形成虚拟语气的倒装条件句。
Were he here, he would give me a hand.
Had I had time last night, I could have gone to Bei Jing.
* 含蓄条件句：有时并非由if 引导，而由with without otherwise but for or 来代替if .
Without water, there would be no living things.（没有水的话，就没有活着的生物）
But for your help , we couldn’t have succeeded . （要是没有你的帮助，我不会成功）
* 混和条件句
从句和主句的动作不是同一时间，两部分动词应作相应的调整。
If you had followed my advice, you would be better now
If he had set out earlier , he would be home now .
* 虚实错综句
同一句子，既有虚拟语气，又有陈述语气。
Einstain could have been very rich but he cared little for money .
有时真实条件句没有虚拟含义，不要误用。
If it rains tomorrow I think I will be abcent the class.
⑵Wish 引导的宾从，发生在现在用过去，对将来的虚拟用would,could,might+ 动词原形，对过去的期望用过去完成时。
She wished that she had married you last year.
I wish I weren’ t going to school.
I wish I would see him tomorrow .
此外，应注意：
在It is wished that clause 以及wish 作为名词时后面的表语或
同位语从句中，使用虚拟语气。
It is wished that he had not made the mistake. 他要是没有犯
此错误该有多好。
My wish is that I got one hundred in the English exam.我多么
希望在语考试中得百分。
If only 相当于wish ，因此谓语动词的变化与wish 的相同，翻译
为“要是…就好了”。
If only he had a sence of humour .
If onlf you had stayed with us last night .
⑶ As if or as though 引导的状语从句。其时态变化与wish 相同。
They talked as if they had been good friends for years.
His face looked pale as if he had been ill.
次外，需注意：表示较大真实性时要用陈述语气。
It looks as if the stadium is covered by a grey net of steel.
4.四种名词性从句：主语从句，宾语从句，表语从句和同位语从句。
用在此结构中，It’snecessary﹙ natural,important, strange…以及insisted,suggested,ordered,desired﹚that谓语动词用should+V 或省略should.
It is important that the president ﹙should﹚ not be absent today .
It is desired that he carry out his plan.
It is ordered that you not smoke here.
用在宾语从句中：
一坚持﹙insist﹚,二命令﹙order,command﹚,三建议﹙advise,propose,suggest﹚,四要求﹙ask,demand, request,require ﹚等动词后的宾语从句。
He suggested that the meeting be put off till next weekend. * 需注意：如insist 表示坚决认为，suggest 意为暗示，表明，用陈述语气。
Her pale face suggested that she was ill, so I suggested that
she go to see a dorctor.
Idea ,plan 以及表示坚持，命令，建议，要求等词的同源的名词时，如，insistence,suggestion,order,proposal, demand.
My suggestion is that we should hold a class meeting.
上述同源名词的同位语从句。
The office gave an order that his soldiers should fight back bravely.
在表语从句中的用法
从句以that 引导, 主句的主语为表示命令, 建议,计划等的名词, 从句的谓语为should be 型或be 型虚拟形式, 如:
The doctor’s advice is that the patient (should) be kept quiet. Our suggestion is that you (should) be the first to go.
5 五种特殊句。
⑴ would rather/would prefer/would sooner+clause,与现在或将来事实相反，谓语动词用过去时，与过去事实相反，用过去完成时。
I would rather you had been here yesterday.我真希望你昨天在场。
⑵ expect,guess,hope, mean,plan suppose,think,want,wish等动词把时态往前推一步或接动词不定时完成时可表示不切实际的想法或未能实现的愿望。
I had hoped to stay home but I had to attend an important meeting.
我本打算呆在家的，不料要参加一个重要的会。
⑶情态动词+完成时，表示“本应该”，“本能够”，“本可已”，“本不必”等含义。
He might have caught the train.（表示对过去事情的肯定猜测，语气较弱）他也许着雨了。
He must have gone home.（. 表示对过去事情的肯定猜测，语气较强）他一定回家了。
You could have been more careful in the exam. 在这次考试当中，你本能够更仔细的
You should have worked harder.（你本该更努力的。）
Service was included in the bill, so you need not have tipped the waiter ,It was a waste of time. （费用包括在帐单里，所以你本不必给服务员付小费，那是浪费钱。
⑷ even if \ even though 有时也可用虚拟语气，其结构跟if 条一件句相同。
Even if he had been saved on time, he would have died.
⑸表示祝愿，诅咒，禁止，命令等语句中，一般用简单句，谓语动词用原形。
God bless you！上帝保佑你。
Long live the friendship. 友谊万岁。
Everybody go out！大家都出去。Money be hanged ！该死的钱。May you be happy！祝你快乐。

虚拟语气(一) 一、考点聚焦 1、虚拟语气用于条件状语从句中 If I were a boy, I would join the army. If she had time, she should go with you. If h e had taken my advice, he would have succeeded in the competition. If i t were to rain tomorrow, the football match would be put off. If I had time, I would attend the meeting. If he had hurried ,he could have caught the train. If I were to go abroad ,I would go to America 如果我是你，我就会努力学习 If I were you, I would work harder at my lessons. 如果我知道他的电话号码，我就给他打电话了 If I had known his telephone number, I would have called him. 如果明天下雨的话，我们会取消比赛． If it should \were to rain, we would call off the match.
使用虚拟条件句要注意的几点： １．当条件状语从句表示的行为和主句表示的行为所发生的时间不一致时，被称为：错综时间条件句“，动词的形式要根据它所表示的时间作出相应的调整． If you had followed my advice , you would be better now. 如果你听我的建议，你现在就会痊愈了． If you had studied hard before, you would be a college student now. 如果你努力学习的话，你现在就会是大学生了． If they had worked hard, they would be very tired now.(从句说的是过去，主句指的是现在) ２．省略句 在条件句中，可省略if，把were ,had, should 提到句首，变为倒装句式．If I were at school again, I would study harder. Were I at school again, I would study harder. If you had come earlier, you would have met him. Had you come earlier, you would have met him. If it should rain tomorrow, we would not go climbing. Should it rain tomorrow, we would not go climbing. Were I a boy, I would join the army. Had he taken my advice, he would have succeeded. Were it not for the expense, I would go to Britain. 2、虚拟语气用于名词性从句 （1）虚拟语气在宾语从句中的运用。 ①“wish + 宾语从句”表示不能实现的愿望，译为“要是……就好了”等。 表现在过去时 表过去过去完成时 表将来would, might, could＋动词原形 I wish it were spring all the year round. I wish I had known the answer. I wish I could fly like a bird. I wish (that) I were a bird. I wish (that) I had seen the film last night. I wish (that) I would\could go.

If条件句和虚拟语气 if 条件句和虚拟语气 包含条件从句的句子叫条件句。条件句有两类：一类是真实条件句（First conditional）,一类是非真实条件句(Second Conditional)。如果假设的情况是有可能发生的，就是真实条件句；如果是纯属假设情况或是不可能发生或可能性不大的情况，则是非真实条件句。 1.真实条件句,可用if和unless引导 1）一个动作发生，另一动作随之发生 I’ll lend Peter the money if he needs it.

虚拟语气中的含蓄条件句常见用法先看一道高考题： ___ more attention ，the trees could have grown better ． A．Given B．To give C．Giving D ．Having given (答案是A ) 句中" ．．．the trees could have grown better" 是一个表达虚拟语气的句子。题中要求选择的是如何表达假设条件的形式。如果我们把这个句子用另一种形式"If they had been given more attentio n ，the trees could have grown better ．" 来表示，就不难理解了。很多情况下，在表示假设的虚拟语气中，有时假设的条件并不以条件从句的形式表达，而是通过上下文或句中内在的逻辑关系，或用其它形式表达出来，我们称之为" 含蓄条件句" 。含蓄条件句主要通过名词、连接词、不定式、分词、动名词短语、介词短语及分句来暗示。这些表达形式在句中实际起着虚拟条件从句的作用。现分述如下：一、介词短语常用来表示虚拟条件的介词有with ，without ，in ，under ，but for 等等，它们表示的虚拟条件都可以被if 从句替换。 ( 1 ) without ，with without 表示否定的条件，意为if ．．．not ；with 与without 意义相反，表示肯定的条件。如： Without air , there would be no living things .(without air = if there were no air)没有空气，便没有生物。 With her help (= If I had her help )，I would do the experiment well ．假如有她帮助，我就可以把这个实验做好。 ( 2 ) under Under the leadership of a less experienced person ，the experiment would have failed ．( u nder ．．．= If there had been the leadership of a less experienced person )假设在一个缺 少经验的人领导下进行实验，实验准会失败。 (3 ) in I would have lost my head in that position ．( in that position = if I had been in that po sition )我处在那种情况下，是会丧失理智的。 ( 4 ) but for
