语法讲解

【语法46】虚拟语气进阶

虚拟语气表示与事实相反不太可能实现的愿望、假设、建议等。Stage 5 学过第二、第三条件句,这里扩展到更多结构。

结构 用法 例句
wish + 过去完成时 对过去的遗憾 I wish I had studied harder.(我后悔没有更努力)
wish + 过去式 对现在/将来的愿望 I wish I were taller.(我希望自己更高)
if only + 过去式/过去完成时 要是……就好了 If only I knew the answer! / If only I had known!
as if / as though + 过去式/过去完成时 好像(与事实不符) He talks as if he knew everything.
suggest / insist / demand / recommend + (should) do 建议、要求、命令后的从句用虚拟语气 I suggest that he (should) arrive on time.
It is important / necessary / strange that... (should) do 表示重要、必要、奇怪等 It is necessary that everyone (should) attend.

注意:在美式英语中,suggest / insist 后的 should 常省略;在英式英语中,有时保留 should。
