2.虚拟语气
承接刚刚讲过的内容:
虚拟语气的本质就是"说废话"。这里,我们开始探讨"说废话"的几种情况:
第一,在表示虚拟的条件句中"对现在事实说废话",此时,主句也要做相应的变化予以配合。
示例:If I had a lot of money, I would buy a new car.(实际情况呢,没钱!)
第二,在表示虚拟的条件句中"对过去事实说废话",此时,主句也要做相应的变化予以配合。
示例:If you had told me the truth earlier, I would not have acted like that.(实际情况呢,你没告诉我,而我呢,也就那样做了!)
第三,在表示虚拟的条件句中"对将来事实说废话",此时,主句也要做相应的变化予以配合。
示例:If I were to die tomorrow, I would not sleep tonight.(实际情况呢?身体棒着呢!明天不可能死,今晚呢,也就会照常呼呼大睡!)
