它是谓语动词的一种形式,表示非真实的假设、或表示命令、建议或说话人的主观愿望。 a.But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by
rivers. b.Artists could make their pictures better if they kept this in mind...
c.If there were any
inhabitants of the moon, they would see our earth
reflecting the light of the sun...
虚拟语气的主要用法:(1) 1.用于非真实条件句中:条件句分为真实和非真实两种。非真实条件句包括违背现在事实的假设、过去事实的假设、以及不希望将来某种愿望实现的假设。
a.If I were you, I would reconsider their advice. b.If I hadn't been so easy, I would have come early.
c.If I should fail, I would try again. 为了便于大家学习,在初学阶段可先记住如下表格:
条件从句 结果主句
对现在事实的违背 过去式
should + 动词原形 would + 动词原形
对过去事实的违背 had + 动词过去分词
should + have + 动词原形 would + have + 动词原形
对将来事实的违背 Should + 动词原形
should + 动词原形 Were + 动词不定式
would +
动词原形 C. Further notes on some sentences:
1. Except for the sun, the moon looks the biggest object in the sky. 译:除了太阳,月球是天空中看起来最大的物体。
except for:除了...,c.f:except, except that. a.all the articles are good except yours.
b.Your article is good except for some grammar mistakes. c.Except that he passed the exam, we all failed.
总结:从整体中去除与主语是相同的事物用except, 若所去除的事物与主语不是同类项用except for, 而只有except that可放在句首引导从句。 2. We always find that this is the part which faces towards the sun, while the
part facing away from the sun appears dark.(*) 译:我们总是发现面对着太阳的那一面是亮的,而背离太阳的那部分则是黑的。
这是一个难句。that this is the part which faces towards the sun, while the part facing away from the sun appears dark是find的
宾语从句,其中包含有一个定语从句which faces towards the
sun修饰the part,一个时间
状语从句while the part facing away from the sun appears dark,还有一个现在分词做定语facing away from the sun appears dark = which faces away from
the sun... 3. Artists could make their pictures better if they kept this in mind-only those
parts of the moon which are lighted up by the sun are bright. 译:只有被太阳照射到的那些部分才是明亮的-如果美术家牢记这一点,也许能使他们的画画得更好。
本句是对现在某种情况的假设,因此用了
虚拟语气。 短语:keep sth in mind牢记谋事;light up:点亮、照亮
4. In the same way the surface of the whole earth
reflects enough of the sun's light on to the face of the moon for us to be able see the parts of it which
would
otherwise be dark. 译:同样整个地球表面将充足的阳光反射到月球表面,使我们能够看到原本会是黑暗的那部分月球表面。
这是一个难句,隐含有一个
虚拟语气句:which would
otherwise be dark. That is: If the surface of the whole earth didn't
reflect enough of the sun's
light on to the face of the moon, the parts of it would be dark. 短语:in the same way用同样的方式;
reflect sth on to/onto sth 反射到...; be able to do 能做...
