点睛
该句中的it's high time that是英语考试中常见的虚拟语气句型,意为“到……的时候了,早该……了”。短语talk sense into sb. 意为“开导某人”。如:
You should talk sense into him and make him realize he was wrong. 你应该开导开导他,让他意识到自己错了。
考点归纳
It's high time…的用法。
后可接介宾短语,即It's high time for sth.。如:
It's high time for lunch. 该吃午饭了。
后可接不定式短语,即It's high time (for sb.) to do sth.。如:
It's high time to go! 我们该走了。
It's high time for us to cheer up. 该是我们振作起来的时候了。
后可接that引导的宾语从句,that可以省略。在这一结构中,从句的谓语动词需用过去式,或“should+动词原形”的形式,其中should不能省略。如:
1) It's high time you thought about getting married. 眼下你该考虑自己的婚姻问题了。
2) It's high time that I should make the decision. 我该作决定了。
