什么是虚拟语气
虚拟语气(subjunctive mood):表示所说的话不是事实,或者是不可能发生的情况,而是一种愿望、建议或与事实相反的假设等。
第一种是与事实相反,纯属假设;第二种是虽然还不是事实,但可能变为事实。
所以特别注意,不能把虚拟语气简单地理解为“不可能”的事实。表示“不可能”的虚拟用法只是虚拟语气的一部分,主要用于条件句中。
如:If I were you, I'd make a change in life.我当然无法变成你,所以这是纯粹的不可能成为事实的假设。
但在It's high time that we had dinner.中显然表达“大家应该去”,而且这种呼吁很快就会变为现实。
可见,此句表达的是说话人的一种“提醒,建议”含义的虚拟语气。
条件状语从句的虚拟语气
条件句中的虚拟语气是虚拟语气的重要内容之一,该种情况采用假设条件从而得出相应结果的方式,表达与实际事实相反的虚拟情况。
1.虚拟条件的时间分为三种:现在、过去、将来
2.混合型条件句
当条件从句与主句所表的时间不一致时,虚拟语气的形式应作相应的调整。主句和从句的谓语动词虚拟结构并不相互呼应,这种条件句叫混合条件句。较多见的混合型条件句是从句用过去完成时(指过去行为),而主句用一般时(指目前状态)。
3.含蓄条件句
虚拟条件句中的条件从句有时不表现出来,只暗含在上下文中,这种句子叫做含蓄条件句。含蓄条件句大体有三种情况:
(1)条件暗含在短语中
(2)条件暗含在上下文中
(3)在不少情况下,虚拟式已变成习惯说法,很难找出其暗含的条件
4.不用if引导的条件从句
虚拟条件句中的条件从句除用if引导外,还可用when, unless, lest, suppose, as if, for fear, in case, on condition 等词语来引导。
如:Suppose you were given a chance to study in America, would you accept?
假如给你一个到美国学习的机会,你会接受吗?(suppose 或 supposing =what if)
与if一样,上述词语所引导的条件从句亦可用陈述语气,表可能实现或发生的事。
5.if 引导的非真实条件句中的谓语部分有were, had, should时,可以把if去掉,而将were, had, should提到主语的前面,构成倒装结构。
而且省略的if从句一般置于主句之前(尤其是在肯定句和否定句中)。多见于书面语。
宾语从句中虚拟语气主要有三种情况
1.表示建议,命令,请求,要求,意图含义的动词suggest, advise,insist, order,command, require,request,demand, ask,prefer 等引导宾语从句时,宾语从句用虚拟语气,句式结构为主语+should+动词原形,其中should可以省略。
但要suggest表“暗示,表明”,insist表示“坚决认为,坚持说”时,宾语从句用实际陈述语气。
2. wish之后的宾语从句,表示一种没有实现或根本不可能实现的愿望,常用虚拟语气。其主要形式有三种:
(1)表示对现在情况的虚拟:wish + 主语 + 动词过去式(be用were);
(2)表示对过去情况的虚拟:wish + 主语 + had + 过去分词;
(3)表示对将来情况的虚拟:wish + 主语 + would + 动词原形。
3. would rather引导的宾语从句,从句为过去时间,动词用had done; 从句为现在时间,动词用一般过去式(be用were);从句是将来时间,动词用一般过去式。
主语从句用虚拟语气的句式主要有三种:
1.在It is important/necessary that…等主语从句中,从句谓语动词用should+动词原形。should此时表达“应该”的意思。
2.在It is amazing (strange, surprising, astonishing, a pity, a shame) that从句中有时也用should,此时表示说话人的惊异、懊悔、失望等情感,常含有“竟然”之意。若不用虚拟语气则不带感情色。
使用虚拟语气的表语从句句式主要有
1.The+名词+is/was that表语从句。这些名词是表示请求、要求、命令、建议等意义的名词
如:advice, desire, decision, idea, instruction, order, plan, proposal, recommendation, request, requirement, suggestion, wish等。
表语从句的虚拟语气结构为:(should) + 动词原形。
2. It looks as if表语从句。如表达的与现在事实相反用过去式,与过去事实相反用过去完成时。
不过,要注意如果表达的内容是真实可信的,则用直陈语气,使用实际时态。
如:It is getting dark. It looks as if it is going to rain. 天变暗了,看来要下雨了(迹象表明要下雨,根据经验判断此种情况下通常会下雨)。
3. 在“名词+that…”同位语从句中,如果名词为表示建议、劝告、命令等含义的名词如:
advice 建议,demand 要求,desire 愿望, decision 决定, idea意见, motion 提议, order命令, proposal 提议, requirement 要求, request 请求,regulation 规章, suggestion 建议等名词时,其同位语从句要用虚拟语气结构:主语+(should) +动词原形
定语从句中的虚拟语气比较少见
