高教自考英语二完整讲义：第九章精讲(三)

　　语 法　虚拟语气

　　I.语 法

　　虚拟语气 subjunctive mood（参看上册书 P.539 Unit 18 语法）

　　英语的虚拟语气是用谓语动词的变化来表示说话人对事物的看法和态度，一般说的不是客观存在的事实，只是表示愿望、可能性、主观空想、推测、建议、要求或假设等。

　　虚拟语气的基本用法有三个方面；虚拟条件句与名词从句中的用法在上册书已经讲过，下册书中是一些补充用法。

　　一、非真实条件句（虚拟条件句）中，注意主句和从句的谓语动词

　　的搭配，下面举例说明：

　　1.If you had time， you should finish your homework.（虚拟的，说明现在你没有时间）

　　2.If I were you， I would go there.

　　3.If atomic bomb had not been used in World War II， Japenese would not have surrendered.

　　4.If it should rain tomorrow， what could we do？

　　5.If you were to come next time， I might meet you.

　　三种情况的主从句的谓语动词采取的虚拟形式：

　　二、在名词从句中的虚拟语气

　　主语从句：It is（was） + 形容词+ that …should + 动词原形

　　It is necessary that the meeting should be held tonight.

　　important， essential， imperative， suggested …

　　宾语从句：及物动词 + that …should + 动词原形

　　I suggest that the meeting should be held tonight.

　　Require， request， demand， propose， insist …

　　表语从句： 名词 + 系动词 + that …should + 动词原形

　　My suggestion is that the meeting should be held tonight.

　　decision， proposal， advice， order …

　　同位语从句：抽象名词 + that …should + 动词原形

　　He gave the proposal that we should hold the meeting tonight.

　　三、补充用法 P.233-237

　　1.if only

　　（1）过去式表示一种假设和意愿，

　　（2）“would+动词原形”表示一种一时很难显示的愿望

　　（3）过去完成时动词表示希望和过去的事实相反的情况出现。

　　2.would rather /would sooner

　　但愿、宁愿，从句中的“that”常省略。从句中的尚未发生的动作用过去时动词表示。

　　动作已经发生了用过去完成时动词表示。如果跟的不是从句，后面跟原形动词。

　　We would rather talk about the football or weather or what we had for lunch.

　　3.it's （high） time that 一般使用过去时动词。

　　4.lest， for fear that， in case 后面的句子中要用“should+动词原形”
