虚拟语气在as if / as though 引导的方式状语从句中,谓语动词形式与wish后的宾语从句基本相同
1.表示与现在事实相反或对现在情况有怀疑,谓语动词用过去式。例如:
(1) .He felt as if he alone were responsible for what had happened.他感到仿佛唯独他要对发生的一切负责。
(2). He acts as if he were / was a TV expert.他做起事来好象是个电视专家。
(3).Alan talked about Rome as if he were a Roman.艾伦谈起罗马来好像他是个罗马人一样。
(4).John pretends as if he didn' t know the thing at all, but in fact he knows it very well.(用过去式表示与现在事实相反的假设)
(5). He pretends as if he didn't know the thing at all, but in fact he knows it very well.(用过去式表示与现在事实相反的假设)他假装好象完全不懂那事,其实他对那事非常了解。
2. 表示过去想象中的动作或情况,谓语动词用过去完成式。如:
(1).The tree looked as if it ______ for a long time.
A. hasn't watered B. didn't water
C. hadn't bee watered D. wasn't watered
那棵树看上去好象很久没人给浇水了。(答案是c)
(2).The old man looked at the picture, he felt as though he had gone back to time 20 years ago.(用过去完成式表示与过去相反的事实)
(3). The old man looked at the picture, he felt as though he had gone back to time 20 years ago.(用过去完成式表示与过去相反的事实)那老人看着照片,他觉得仿佛回到20年前的时光。
3.表示与将来事实相反:
(1).They talked and talked as if they would never meet again (would+动词原形,表示与将来事实相反)
(2). They talked and talked as if they would never meet again.(would + 原形动词meet,表示与将来事实相反)他们谈了又谈,仿佛他们不会再相见的样子。
