虚拟语气8
A. 虚拟语气在定语从句中的运用
在“It is (high) time (that)…”句型中(that)引导的是定语从句,从句的谓语动词习惯上用过去式,(有时也可用should+动词原形,should不能省略),表示“早该干某事了,是某人该干某事的时候了”。
It is time we went (should go) home. 我们该回家了。
It’s high time you made (should make) up your mind. 是你下决心的时候了。
It is time that you should have class. 该上课了。(早已经该上课了,你们为什么不上课)
= It is time that you had class
It is time for you to have class. 该上课了。(上课的时间到了、刚刚打铃或马上就要打铃时)
总结一下:
句型 | 结构 |
1 | It is / was (high) time that + 主语+ should +V |
2 | It is/ was (high) time that + 主语+ should + 过去时 |
表示该干什么了,却没有干。(此句型中的should 不能省略)
B. if only引导的句中虚拟语气的用法
“If only…从句 “表示一种愿望或是向往的假设,其意义是"要是……就好了”、 “但愿……”。这个句型中的语序是正常语序,不倒装。另外,其谓语动词的虚拟式与wish后面宾语从句中谓语动词的虚拟式相同。例如:
If only she could understand my real feelings.
要是她能了解我的真实想法就好了。
If only my mother had survived the disease and lived till now.
要是我妈妈没有死于疾病而活到现在就好了。
If only he would fine a satisfactory job after his graduation.
但愿他毕业后找到一份称心如意的工作。
