第十三单元 第三课【语法点拨】

虚拟条件句

▶ 真实条件句和非真实条件句

▪ 英语中有两种条件句:真实条件句和非真实条件句。真实条件句表示提

出的假设是完全可以实现的,因此句子的谓语用陈述语气。非真实条件

句又称虚拟条件句,表示所提的假设与事实相反或实现的可能性极小,

所以句子的谓语动词用虚拟语气。

• If he doesn’t hurry up, he will miss the bus.

如果他不快点,他将错过这班公共汽车。(真实)

• If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home.

如果明天下雨,我就呆在家里。(真实)

• If I knew her mobile telephone number, I could ring her up.

要是我知道她的手机号码,我就可以给她打电话了。(可惜我不知道)

• If I were a bird, I would fly to the south in winter.

如果我是一只鸟,我冬天就飞往南方。(不可能实现的愿望)

▶ 虚拟条件句的形式

▪ 现将虚拟语气条件句的三种形式列表如下

从句(条件句) 主句(结果句)

与现在事实相反的 (1) 动词过去式 should/would/could/might

假设 (2) be一律用were +动词原形

与过去事实相反的 had+过去分词 should/would/could/might

假设 +have+过去分词

与将来事实相反的 (1) 动词过去式 should/would/could/might

假设或实现的可能 (2) should+动词原形

性很小 形

(3) were to+动词原形

▶ 虚拟条件句的用法

▪ 表示与现在实事相反的假设。

• If there were no air or water, there would be no living things on the earth.

如果没有水和空气,地球上就不会有生物。(事实:地球上既有空气

也有水)

• If I had any money with me, I could lend you some.

如果我带钱了,我就会借你一些。(事实:没带钱)

• If I had time, I would certainly go to the cinema with you.

如果我有时间,我一定陪你去看电影。(事实:没有时间)

▪ 表示与过去事实相反的假设

• If her mother had taken the doctor’s advice, she would/might have got

well earlier.

如果她母亲当时遵照医嘱,她本来/可能会早点康复的。(可惜她没

有遵照医嘱)

• I could have done better if I had been more careful.

我当时要是小心些,我本来会做得更好。(后悔当时没有小心)

• If you had come ten minutes earlier, you would have seen the film

actress.

你要是早来10分钟,你就能见到那位电影女明星了。(来迟了没见到)

• If I had left sooner, I would have been on time.

要是我早点动身,我就准时到了。(但我动身太迟了)

• If we had found him earlier, we could have saved his life.

要是我们当时早点找到他的话,我们就可以救活他。(可惜找到他太

晚了,没有救活他)

▪ 表示与将来事实相反的假设或发生的可能性极小。

• If it rained tomorrow, the sports meet would be put off.

要是明天下雨,运动会就推迟。(明天下雨可能性很小)

• If it were to rain tomorrow, the match would be canceled.

倘若明天下雨,比赛将被取消。(明天下雨可能性极小)

• If it should rain, the crops would be saved.

要是有雨,这些庄稼还有救。(下雨可能性很小)

• If you should miss the train, what would you do?

你要是误了那班列车,你怎么办?(误车可能性很小)

注:①主句谓语中的 should主要用于第一人称 would, might, could的区别大致是:

would表示结果, might表示可能性, could表示能力、允许或可能性。

试比较:

• If you tried again, you would succeed.

如果你再试一试,你就会成功的。(would表示结果)

• If you tried again, you might succeed.

如果你再试一试,你可能会成功的。(might表示可能)

• If you tried again, you could succeed.

如果你再试一试,你就能成功了。(could表示能力)

②条件从句中的谓语动词为be时,不论其主语为单数还是复数,通常都用

were,但在口语或非正式文体中,单数第一人称和第三人称后也可用was,不过

在 If I were you这样的习惯表达中,只能用were。

③有时would条件从句用表示愿意。

• I could do so if I would.要是我愿意,我能够这样做。(但我不愿意)

④ 当 条 件 从 句 使 用 “should+ 动 词 原 形 ” 时 , 主 句 除 可 用

“should/would/could/might+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气外,也可用陈述语气或祈

使语气。

• If it should rain tomorrow, don’t expect me.

万一明天下雨,就不要等我了。

• If I should see him, I’ll tell him.

万一我见到他,我就告诉他。
