第八讲 慧眼辨虚实,匠心酿虚拟
虚拟语气通过谓语动词的特殊形式来体现,表示作者的愿望、假设、猜测、怀疑、建议等含义,而非客观存在的事实。虚拟语气适时穿插于写作中,可令人眼前一亮,好感顿生。根据使用环境,虚拟语气在写作中主要有以下几类:
1.if型虚拟语气,“如果……,就……”
Secondly, if I were you, I would take a walk in the evening with my friends.
第二,如果我是你,我会在傍晚和朋友一起散步。
2.wish型虚拟语气,“希望……”
Besides, I wish there wouldn't be too many students in a class.另外,我希望一个班不要有太多的学生。
3.as if/though型虚拟语气,“好像……”
Everything in my childhood crowded upon my mind as if/though they had just happened.
童年的一切一下子涌入我的脑海中,仿佛刚刚发生似的。
4.if only型虚拟语气,“要是……就好了;但愿……”
If only I could go back and reset my goals.
要是我能够回到过去重新制订目标该有多好。
5.It's (high/about) time (that)...型虚拟语气,“是……的时候了”
It is high time that both children and parents took/should take action to make some changes.
确实到了孩子和父母行动起来做出一些改变的时候了。
6.(should)do型虚拟语气,“应该做……”。表示“建议、命令、要求”等的动词insist, order, suggest等后面所接的宾语从句一般用“(should)+动词原形”表示虚拟。
To master Chinese, I strongly suggest you (should) practice with Chinese people.
为了掌握汉语,我强烈建议你和中国人一起练习。
7.without, but for, but that含蓄型虚拟语气,“没有……,要不是……”
Without your help, we couldn't have finished the work ahead of time.
要是没有你的帮助,我们不可能提前完成这项任务。
