as if / if though的從句用虛擬語(yǔ)氣-初中英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法學(xué)習(xí)
時(shí)間:2015-06-15 16:53:00 來(lái)源:無(wú)憂考網(wǎng) [字體:小 中 大]一、基本用法
以as if (as though)引導(dǎo)的方式狀語(yǔ)從句或表語(yǔ)從句,有時(shí)用虛擬語(yǔ)氣,若表示與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用一般過(guò)去時(shí);若表示與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反,用過(guò)去完成時(shí);表示將來(lái)的可能性不大,用would (might, could)+動(dòng)詞原形:
He acts as if he knew me. 他顯得認(rèn)識(shí)我似的。
They treat me as though I were a stranger. 他們待我如陌生人。
He talks as if he had been abroad. 他說(shuō)起話來(lái)好像曾經(jīng)出過(guò)國(guó)。
二、兩點(diǎn)說(shuō)明
(1) 從句所表示的內(nèi)容若為事實(shí)或可能為事實(shí),也可用陳述語(yǔ)氣:
It looks as if we’ll be late. 我們似乎要遲到了。
This meat tastes as if it has already gone bad. 這肉吃起來(lái)似乎已經(jīng)壞了。
在現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)中,有時(shí)即使從句內(nèi)容不是事實(shí),也可能用陳述語(yǔ)氣:
I feel as if [as though] I’m floating on air. 他感到好像漂浮在空中。
The stuffed dog barked as if it is [were, was] a real one. 玩具狗叫起來(lái)像真狗。
(2) 注意 It isn’t as if…的翻譯:
It isn’t as if he were poor. 他不像窮的樣子(或他又不窮)。
It isn’t as if you were going away for good. 又不是你離開不回來(lái)了。
