谈谈虚拟语气(Subjunctive Mood)(一)

如果你看到下列的句子，你会认为它们是正确的还是错的呢？

1.　I wish I were a bird.
2.　We request that you be here tomorrow.

也许你会说:"哈哈，第一句的 I　were 错了，应该是 I　was；而第二句中的 you　be
是什么东东呀？不是 you are, 也不是 you will be, 什么 you be?!"

其实上面的句子都是一种称为 Subjunctive 类型的句子。Subjunctive Mood 有的书译
为"假设语气"，虽不很贴切；但在相当大的程度上，告诉我们这种句子的特点。
Subjunctive Mood中文译作"虚拟语气"，似乎不及"假设语气"那么容易明白。它是一种
动词形式，表示说话人的某种假设、愿望、怀疑、猜测、建议等含义。

基本上，虚拟语气可分为虚拟现在(Subjunctive Present)和虚拟过去(Subjunctive
Past)两种；但它们和时态(Tenses)上所指的现在时态(Present Tense)和过去时态
(Past Tense)是有所不同的。

一、虚拟现在(Subjunctive Present):

虚拟现在的句子，在任何时候都要用动词的原形(root form)，就算是第三人称(he,
she, it)也是如此。如：

1.1　现在时态(Simple Present): (右边为虚拟语气)

　I　work ---- I work
　you work ---- you work
　he works ---- he work (注意到了吗，是 work，不是 works)
　she works ---- she work (不是 she works 喔）
　it works ---- it work　(同样不是 it works 喔)
　we work ---- we work
　they work ---- they work

1.2　现在进行时态(Present Continuous)右边为虚拟语气）

　I am working ---- I be working (注意用的是 be，怪怪的!)
　 you are working ---- you be working
　he is working ---- he be working
　she is working ---- she be working
　it is working ---- it be working
　we are working ---- we be working
　they are woring ---- they be working

1.3　现在完成时态(Present Perfect)右边为虚拟语气)

　I have worked ---- I have worked
　you have worked ---- you have worked
　he has worked ----- he have worked (用的还是have喔)
　she has worked ---- she have worked
　it has worked ---- it have worked
　we have worked ---- we have worked
　they have worked ---- they have worked

1.4　现在完成进行时态(Present Perfect Continuous)右边为虚拟语气)

　I have been working ---- I have been working
　you have been working ---- you have been working
　he has been working ---- he have been working　(是 he have, 不是 he has )
　she has been working ---- she have been working
　it has been working --- it have been working
　we have been working ---- we have been working
　they have been working ---- they have been working


嘘，暂时休息一会儿。下回再谈虚拟过去的动词有什么不同。如何，你喜欢她吗？

谈谈虚拟语气(Subjunctive Mood)（二）

二、虚拟过去(Subjunctive Past)

虚拟过去的动词无论在什么情况之下都要用过去复数形式。如：动词 be，在虚拟过去
中要用 were。

2.1　过去时态(Simple Past)右边为虚拟语气)

　I worked ---- I worked
　you worked ---- you worked
　he worked ---- he worked
　she worked ---- she worked
　it worked ---- it worked
　we worked ---- we worked
　they worked ---- they worked

2.2　过去进行时态(Past Continuous)右边为虚拟语气)

　I was working ---- I were working （注意是 I were）
　you were working ---- you were working
　he was working ---- he were working (是 he were 喔)
　she was working ---- she were working
　it was working ---- it were working
　we were working ---- we were working
　they were working ---- they were working

2.3　过去完成时态(Past Perfect)右边为虚拟语气)

　I had worked ---- I had worked
　you had worked ---- you had worked
　he had worked ---- he had worked
　she had worked ---- she had worked
　it had worked ---- it had worked
　we had worked ---- we had worked
　they had worked ---- they had worked
　(耶，全部都用 had ! )

2.4　过去完成进行时态(Past Perfect Continuous)右边为虚拟语气)

　I had been working ---- I had been working
　you had been working ---- you had been working
　he had been working ---- he had been working
　she had been working ---- she had been working
　it had been working ---- it had been working
　we had been working ---- we had been working
　they had been working ---- they had been working
　(全部都是 had been 喔）


看来很简单，是吧？下回我们就要谈到她的本领了。再见了！

谈谈虚拟语气(Subjunctive Mood)（三）

虚拟语气在语法里算得上是个难点。让我们就从最简单的开始吧。

三、简单的祝愿和命令：

3.1　祝愿
　1.　May you be happy. (注意那个 be ) 祝你幸福。
　2.　May you have a good time.
　3.　May the friendship between us last long,
　4.　Have a good journey! 祝你旅途愉快！

3.2　命令
　注意：1.命令虚拟语气只能用在第二人称(you)，而且通常省略主语(也就是you)。
　　　　2.句子尾通常加上感叹号：！
　　　　3.虚拟语气动词用一般现在时态(Simple Present)，如：work, be , go
　　　　4.否定形式的命令语气，可用助动词 do，加上 not。

　1.　Work !
　2.　Work harder !
　3.　Be more alert ! (虚拟语气动词 Be)
　4.　You go out !
　5.　Do not work so hard. (do not 表示否定的虚拟语气)
　6.　Don't be afraid. (口语中常用don't 代替 do not)

这回就谈这么多，不会嫌少吧。

谈谈虚拟语气(Subjunctive Mood)(四)

四、在现在时态句里，用情态动词(Modal Verb)的过去时态
　　(could,might,should,would)表示说话人的谦虚、客气、有礼、委婉等：

1. Would you be kind enough to show me the way to the post office.
　　(情态动词 would,表示客气有礼)

2. It would be better for you not to stay up too late.(表示委婉)

五、虚拟语气在宾语从句(Subordinate Clasue)中的用法：

　　 表示：a.和现在的事实相反；
　　　　　 b.和过去的事实相反；
　　　　　 c.对将来的主观愿望。

谈谈虚拟语气(Subjunctive Mood)(七)

八、虚拟语气在条件从句(Protasis)中的用法：

条件从句有两类：（1）真实条件句；（2）虚拟条件句。
如果假设情况有可能发生的，就是"真实条件句"。如：
　1. If time permits, we'll go fishing together.
　　　　　　(如果有时间的话，我们就一起去钓鱼。）

如果假设的情况与事实相反，则为"虚拟条件句"。如：
　1. If it had rained yesterday, we would have stayed at home.
　　（如果昨天下雨的话，我们就会留在家里。）

这回我们要谈的就是关于"虚拟条件句"的一些句型。
* 这种句子一般由"从句"（Subordinate Clause)和"主句"(Main Clause)组成。如上
例：
　If it had rained yesterday, we would have stayed at home.
　"If it had rained yesterday" 就是"从句"；"we would have stayed at home" 则
为"主句。

* 无论"从句"或"主句"的谓语都要用虚拟语气。它们所用的动词有三种时态
(Tenses)，就是：
　 现在时态、过去时态、将来时态。

* 句型：

8.1　与现在事实相反的假设(事情的发生都在同一时间内):

　从句：if + 主语 + 动词的过去式(be 用 were) + ……
　主句：主语 + would (should, could , might) + 动词原形 + ……

　1. If I were you, I would go with him.
　　　 (从句 If I were you, 主句 I would go with him.)

　2.　If I were you, I should buy it.
　　　 (从句用过去式动词were，主句用动词原形 buy)

　3.　If I had time, I would study French. (如果有时间，我会学习法文。）
　　 （从句用过去式动词had，主句用动词原形 study）

　4. If she knew English, she would not ask me for help. (如果她懂英文，她就
不必要我帮了。)
　　 (从句用过去式动词knew, 主句用动词原形ask)

　注意：如果动作在进行中，主句要用："主语 + would be + 进行式动词 + ……"

　5. If they were here, he would be speaking to them now.
　　　　(从句用过去式动词were, 主句用 would be speaking)

8.2　与过去事实相反的假设(假设从句的事实为过去的事)：

　从句：If + 主语 + had +过去完成式动词 + ……
　主句：主语 + would (should, could, might) + have +过去完成式动词 +……

　1. If you had studied harder last term, you could have passed exam.
　　 (从句动词用had studied, 主句动词用have passed)
　　 如果你在上个学期用功一些，你就会在考试中过关了。

　2. If you had taken my advice, you wouldn't have failed in the exam.
　　　　　 (从句动词用had taken, 主句动词用have failed)
　　　　　 如果你当时听从我的劝告的话，你就不会在考试中失败了。

　3. If you had got up earlier, you could have caught the train.
　　　　　　(从句动词用had got up, 主句动词用 have caught)

　4. If it had snowed, I would have skied in the park.
　　　　　 (从句动词用had snowed, 主句动词用 have skied)
　　　　　　　　　如果下雪的话，我就可在公园里滑雪了。


　注意：如果动作在进行中，主句要用："I主语 + would + have + 完成进行式动词
+……

　5.　If they had been here, he would have been speaking to them.
　　　　　　(从句动词用had been, 主句动词用 have been speaking)

8.3　与将来的事实可能相反(对将来的事实实现的可能性不大)：

　　　从句：If + 主语 + should (或were) + 动词原形 +……
　　　主句：主语 + would (could, should, might) + 动词原形 +……

　1. If it should rain, the crops would be saved.
　　　　　 (从句动词用should rain，主句动词用 be)
　　　　　 如果天下雨，庄稼可能就收获了。

　2. If he　were to go　fomorrow, he might tell you.
　　　　　　　　　 (从句动词用were to, 主句动词用 tell)
　　　　　　如果明天他走的话，他可能会告诉你。

　3.　If he were here, I would give him the books.
　　　　　　　　　(从句动词用 were, 主句动词用 give)
　　　如果他在这儿，我可能会把书给他。


　注意：如果动作在进行中，从句(不是主句喔)要用："If + 主语 + 过去进行式动词
+……"

　4.　If she were staying here now, I would let her ride my horse.
　　　(从句动词用 were staying, 主句动词用 let)
　　　如果她现在留在这儿，我可能会让她骑我的马。

8.4 从句的 If 有时可省略，那么从句中的动词(were, had, should)就得移到主语前
面：

　1.　原句：If she were younger, she would do it.
　　　去If：Were she younger, she would do it. (把动词were移到主语she的前面)

　2.　原句：If he had tried it, he could have done it.
　　　去If：Had he tried it, he could have done it.(把had移到主语he的前面)

8.5　有时虚拟条件句的从句或主句都可以省略其中一个：

　1. I could help you.　(只有主句）

　2. If I had time. (只有从句）

　3. She should have come to the meeting. (只有主句)

　4. If he had much more money. (只有从句)

8.6 有时虚拟条件句的从句和主句地动词动作时态会不一致：

　8.6.1 从句表示过去，主句表示将来：

　If they had started the early morning yesterday, they would be here now.

　8.6.2　从句表示将来，主句表示过去：

　If I were not to make a preparation for my experiment this afternoon, I
would have gone to see the film with you last night.

　8.6.3 从句表示过去，主句表示将来：

　If we hadn't made adequate preparations, we shouldn't dare to do the
experiment next week.

　8.6.4　从句表示将来，主句表示现在：

　If we shouldn't have an exam this afternoon, I would go shopping now.
