1.虚拟语气和条件句
条件句实际上是属于状语从句的一种,其功能可以说是说话人猜想、假设的一种条件.按其真实的程度来分,可以分为真实条件句和非真实条件句两种.
e.g.: If it rains tomorrow, we will put off the sports meeting.
如果明天下雨,我们就推迟运动会.(表示可能实现,真实条件句)
If I were Tom, I would not refuse the money.
如果我是汤姆,我就不会拒绝这些钱的.(表示不可能实现,非真实条件句)
按照时间上的情况,虚拟条件句(非真实条件句)又可以分为现在、过去、将来三种情况
e.g.: If I were you, I should not marry her.
如果我是你,我就不会和她结婚.(和现在情况相反)
If the fridge were broken, please call us to repair it.
如果冰箱坏了,通知我们来修.(和将来情况相反)
If I had been you, I should not have married her.
如果我以前是你,我就不会和她结婚.(和过去情况相反)
注:单独条件句的使用可以表示某种感情色彩.
e.g.: If your father had not been dead.
要是你爸爸没死该有多好啊!(表示某种遗憾和怜悯)
