第三十五单元【语法点拨】
虚拟语气在名词性从句中的用法(上)
除了动词wish和某些句型外,虚拟语气在名词性从句——主语从句、宾语从句、
表语从句和同位语从句的表现形式是一样的，动词原形或“should+动词原
形”。在美国英语中，一般只用动词原形。
• 虚拟语气在主语从句中的应用
在某些表示命令、要求、决定、建议、安排、主张以及“重要性、紧迫性”等
的主语从句中,谓语动词要用虚拟语气。谓语动词用 should+动词原形或动词原
形。在美国英语中,通常省略should,用动词原形。这类主语从句的构成形式为:It
is/was+形容词/现在分词/过去分词/名词+that。
▪ 在含有形容词或其相应的名词的主语从句中,注意掌握如下形容词:
necessary, imperative(必要的,势在必行的),important, essential(必要的),vital(至关
重要的), advisable(可取的;明智的), better, best, compulsory( 强制的;强迫的 ),
appropriate(适当的), crucial(极重要的), fitting(适当的), obligatory(义不容辞的;必
须 的 ), preferable( 更 可 取 的 ), urgent( 紧 迫 的 ; 非 常 重 要 的 ), instant( 紧 急 的 ),
proper(适当的)等。
• It is essential that the application form (should) be sent back before the
deadline.
申请表必须在截止期前送回。
• It is vital that enough money be collected to fund the project.
重要的是募集足够的钱,为这个项目提供资金。
▪ It is/was+过去分词+that····，重点应掌握这些动词:
advise( 建 议 ; 劝 告 ), arrange( 安 排 ),ask, command( 命 令 ), decide, demand( 要 求),
desire(期望,希望),move(提议,动议) ，order, prefer, propose(建议),recommend(推荐,
建议), request(请求,要求), require(要求), resolve(决定,决议), suggest, urge(催促;力
劝),vote(投票;表决)等。

已经安排你报名参加这次竞赛。
• It has been decided that the meeting be postponed till next Saturday
已经决定，会议延期到下星期六举行。
• It is proposed that the meeting be called off.有人建议取消这次会议。
▪ 在it is a pity/shame that, it is natural/odd/strange/incredible/amazing/ridiculous/
从句中,表示惊讶、怀疑时,从句中的谓语动词用 “should+动词原形”或
“should + have+过去分词”, should含有“竟然”之意。
• It is strange that he should do that.真奇怪，他竟然那样做。
• It is odd that she should have failed to see her own shortcomings.
真奇怪，她竟然没有看出自己的缺点。
• It is a great pity that he should be so arrogant.
真遗憾，他竟会这样自高自大。
▶ 虚拟语气在宾语从句中的应用
表示“坚持、命令、建议、要求”等意思的宾语从句要用虚拟语气。这类动词
一般可归纳为“一个坚持( insist)、两个命令(order，command)、三个建议
(advise, suggest propose)，四个要求(demand, require, request, ask)”。这类虚拟语
气由“should+动词原形”构成,其中的 should在美国英语中通常省略。
▪ 含 insist有(坚持)的宾语从句
• He insisted that we (should) take the doctor’s advice.
他坚持我们要遵照医嘱。
• Rose insisted that he be present at the conference.
罗斯坚持要他出席会议。
注: insist表示“坚持要”“一定要”，从句多指尚未实现的想法，谓语通常用
虚拟语气；如果表示“坚持说”“坚持认为”, 从句所指的多为已经发生的事或
已存在的状态，谓语用陈述语气。
I insisted that he( should)go.我坚持要他去。
I insisted that he was wrong.我坚持认为他错了。
He insisted that I should read his letter.他坚持要我看他的信。
He insisted that I had read his letter.他坚持说我看过他的信。
▪ 含 order, command(命令)的宾语从句

• They recommend that this tax be done away with.他们建议废除这种税。
• The committee proposed that Mr. Smith be elected.
该委员会建议推选史密斯先生。
• He suggested that we should leave early.他建议我们早点动身。
注:与动词insist相似,动词 suggest后接宾语从句时,除可用虚拟语气外,也可用陈述
语气。两者的区别是：若谓语动词所表示的情况尚未成为事实，则用虚拟语
气，此时suggest通常译为“建议”;若谓语动词所表示的情况为既成事实，则要
用陈述语气，此时的 suggest通常译为“表明”“暗示”“认为”
She suggested that we( should) leave early.她建议我们早点动身。
比较: Her expression suggested that she was angry.她的表情表明了她生气了。
▪ 含有ask, demand, require, request(要求)的宾语从句
• I asked that he (should) leave right away.我要求他马上走开。
• The students demand that the library be open every day.

schools nearest to their homes.
