白易礼四六级虚拟语气-33讲-40讲(4)

非常详尽

1)省略条件从句，如：

It would be very nice.

You could have done it yourself. (省略If you had wanted to.上下文可以看出You didn’t want to.) (Fact: You didn’t do the work yourself because you didn’t want to.)

I wouldn’t smoke. (省略If I were you.) (表面上说我，实际上说你。这是一种委婉的表达法。(Fact: You smoke very often. I advise you not to smoke any more.)

2)省略主句：在强调条件从句时，常省略主句，这种句子常表示一种“已不能实现”的愿望，主要用于If only 引导的感叹句中。

For example:

If only he were here!

If only I knew more!

If only he had stayed with us!

Now let’s do some translation:

要是我听了他的建议就好了!

If only I had taken his advice!

我如果是一只鸟就好了!

If only I were a bird.

快用If only 造三个句子，表达你的愿望!

If only I could live in a big apartment!

If only I were a billionaire!

If only I could marry her/him!

(二)虚拟语气的其他句型和用法

1、用在“wish+宾语从句”中，表示很难实现或不能实现的愿望，可以翻译为“但愿 ”, “悔不该 ”等。表示现在不能实现的愿望，从句的谓语动词用过去式;表示将来的愿望，从句的谓语动词用“would (could)+动词原形”;对过去的事情表示愿望，从句的谓语动词用 “had+过去分词” 或“could + have + 过去分词”。Wish 后面的宾语从句必须用虚拟语气，不管这个愿望是否能实现。如：

I wish it were Spring all the year round.

I wish you could go with us.

We wish we had arrived there two hours earlier.

Now let’s do some translation using “wish”:

我要是Jane 就好了。

I wish I were Jane.

他真希望自己生活在中世纪。

He really wishes that he were living in the Middle Ages.

但愿北京整年是秋天。

I wish it were autumn in Beijing all the year round.

要是你能同我们一起过寒假就好了。

We wish you would spend the winter vacation with us.

我要是没有买这辆车就好了。

I wish I had not bought this car.

Now, it’s time for you to make three wishes about your present, future, and past..

I wish I were twenty years younger.

I wish I could work for an NGO.

I wish I had studied law in college.
