2020年军队职称英语考试辅导：语法、were型虚拟式的其他用法

一、were型虚拟式的其他用法 (同样要遵守"过去、现在、将来"的虚拟规则)：

　　●wish宾语从句：

　　I wish that he had not made so much fuss about it.(真希望他不要把那事搞大了。- 过去)

　　I wish that I were a doctor. (我希望我是个医生就好了。- 现在)

　　(注：这个句型中也可以用I wish that I was a doctor.)

　　I wish that the rain would stop. (真希望雨能停下来。将来)

　　●If only…(要是…就好了)

　　If only you hadn't offended him. (你当时不惹他就好了。- 过去)

　　If only I had some money on hand now. (我现在手头有些钱就好了。-现在)

　　If only he could come tomorrow. (他明天能来有多好啊。-将来)

　　●It is (about / high) time that….(是…的时候了)

　　由于该句型只能用在"现在"时间，所以从句的动词只能是"过去时"形式，例如：

　　It is high time (that) we began to work. (咱们该开始工作了。)

　　●As if (though)…(似乎…)

　　这个句型可以是陈述语气，也可以是虚拟语气。虚拟语气的时态变化原则与"wish"用法相同，例如：

　　She loves the children in the kindergarten as if they were her own. (她象自己孩子一样热爱幼儿园的孩子门。 - 现在)

　　He talked about China as if he had been there. (他谈起中国来好象去过那里。)

　　It looks as if it is going to rain.(看来天要下雨。- 陈述语气)

　　●Would (had) rather, would just as soon, would sooner, would prefer + 从句结构

　　这几个句型都表示一种"婉转的责备"，中文常有"还不如…"，"宁可…""倒希望…"等意思，例如：

　　I'd rather she stayed at home in such a bad health condition. (她身体这么差，我倒希望你呆在家里。- 现在)

　　I would just as soon you had returned him the money yesterday. (你还不如昨天就把钱还给他了。- 过去)

　　I would prefer he didn't stay there too long. (我倒不希望他不要在那儿呆得时间太长。)

　　比较：

　　I would prefer that she act the young lady. (我倒认为她演哪个年轻女子比较合适。- 表示建议，用 "should型虚拟式")

　　做虚拟语气的题目，归纳起来就是两句话：

　　一、看清是什么形式的虚拟式，"should型"还是 "were型"?

　　二、如果是were型虚拟式，看清句中所给的时态："过去"、"现在"、"将来"?

　　这里的关键是：要对构成虚拟语气的词、词组和句型比较敏感。
