[语法剖析]
1.虚拟语气用于宾语从句中 (1)动词 wish 后的宾语从句用虚拟语气 ①对现在进行虚拟:did (be→were) ②对过去进行虚拟:had done ③对将来进行虚拟:would/could+动词原形
I wish I were back home; I don't like this place. 我要是回家就好了;我不喜欢这个地方。 I wish I had never met him. 但愿我从没遇见过他。 I do wish it would be a fine day tomorrow. 但愿明天是个晴天。
She opened the mouth as if/though she would say something.
她张开嘴好像要说什么。 3.虚拟语气用于主语从句中 (1) 在 “it is important/necessary/essential/strange ... + that ...”句型中,that 从句用虚拟语气,从句谓语用 “(should+)动词原形”。
(3)表示建议、命令、要求、坚持等意义的动词,如 suggest, advise, propose, order, demand, request, insist 等后接宾 语从句时,从句中的谓语动词通常使用虚拟语气,即 “should+动词原形”,should 可以省略。
The organization demanded that the report (should) be made public.
[名师点津] 当 suggest 表示“表明,暗示”,insist 表 示“坚持认为”之意时,从句不用虚拟语气。
The man insisted that he had never stolen the money. 这个人坚持说他绝对没有偷钱。 His puzzled expression suggested that he didn't understand the foreigner's words. 他迷惑的表情表明他不明白那个外国人的话。
