I might have killed myself. 那真的是太危險了,我差點(diǎn)沒命了。?A lot of men died who might have been saved. 很多人本來可以獲救的卻死了。② 表示委婉的批評或責(zé)備。如:?You might have made greater progress. 你的進(jìn)步本來可更大一些的。?You might at least have answered my letter. 你至少可以回我一封信嘛。三、must表示推測的用法must 表示很有把握的推測,其意為"一定會""肯定會",只用于肯定句,一般不用于否定句或疑問句。表示對現(xiàn)在或未來的情況作推測,后接動詞原形;表示對過去情況的推測,接動詞完成式。如:?I must be the happiest woman on earth! 我一定是世界上最幸福的女人了。?No, he must be lying. 不,他一定在撒謊?He must have mistaken my meaning. 他一定誤會了我的意思。考向3 虛擬語氣一、虛擬語氣在條件句中的應(yīng)用包含條件從句的句子稱為條件句。條件句分為兩類:一類是真實(shí)條件句,一類是虛擬條件句。如果假設(shè)的情況很可能發(fā)生,就用真實(shí)條件句。?If he has time, he wil come. 如果他有時間,他會來的。?He won’t succeed unless we plan well. 他不會成功的,除非我們計劃好。如果假設(shè)的情況發(fā)生的可能性不大,則用虛擬條件句。虛擬條件句分為三種,見下表:?If he had time now,he would(could,might)go with you.要是他現(xiàn)在有時間,他會和你一起去的。(與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反)?If you had come a few minutes earlier,you would(could,might) have met the famous singer.如果你早來幾分鐘,你就會見到那個著名歌手了。(與過去事實(shí)相反)?If it were to snow this evening,they would not go out.如果今天晚上下雪,他們就不會出去。(與將來事實(shí)相反)二、幾種特殊的虛擬條件從句1. 省略if形式的虛擬語氣在if虛擬條件句中,若省略if,則將should,were,had前置,構(gòu)成主謂倒裝句式。?Had I worked harder,I would have succeeded.如果我當(dāng)時努力學(xué)習(xí)的話,我就會成功的。?Were she my daughter(Should she be my daughter),I wouldn’t allow her to study abroad.如果她是我的女兒的話,我就不讓她出國學(xué)習(xí)了。2. 混合虛擬語氣若主句和從句所表示的時間不一致,就構(gòu)成了混合虛擬語氣或錯綜虛擬語氣,此時,主句和從句的時態(tài)形式根據(jù)實(shí)際的時間概念來定。?If she had followed the doctor’s words,she would feel better now.如果當(dāng)初她聽從了醫(yī)生的建議,現(xiàn)在就會好多了。3. 含蓄虛擬語氣有時候假設(shè)的條件不是通過條件從句表達(dá),而是隱含在某些介詞短語中,如without...,連詞but for,otherwise,or等中。?Without music(=If there were no music),the world would be dull.世界若無音樂將會很枯燥。?I’m really very busy,otherwise I would certainly go there with you.(otherwise=if I were not so busy)我真的是太忙了,不然我就會同你一道去了。三、虛擬語氣在賓語從句中的應(yīng)用1. 動詞wish后的賓語從句。表示現(xiàn)在的情況,從句謂語用過去式;表示過去的情況,從句謂語用過去完成式;表示將來的情況,從句謂語用"would/ should/could/might + 動詞原形"。?I wish I were ten years younger now. 我希望我現(xiàn)在年輕十歲。?I wish I had met him yesterday. 我昨天能遇到他就好了。?I wish I would be a scientist. 我希望將來成為科學(xué)家。2. 在表示請求、建議、命令、要求等動詞后的賓語從句中,謂語用"should + 動詞原形",should可省略常見的這類動詞有:suggest,recommend, insist, order, require, advise, demand, command, ask, request,propose等。?He suggested that we (should) be here in time. 他建議我們及時到那兒。?The doctor advised that he (should) change his job. 醫(yī)生勸他換工作。3. 在would rather后的賓語從句中,謂語常用過去式來表示現(xiàn)在或?qū)淼那闆r,用過去完成式表示過去的情況。?I would rather you told me the truth. 我愿意你跟我講真話。?I would rather you had been present. 我倒愿意你當(dāng)時在場。4. 在"It is (about/high) time+that從句"中,謂語動詞常用過去式或"should+動詞原形"表示虛擬語氣,注意should不可省略。?It’s high time that we devoted ourselves to environmental protection.是我們致力于環(huán)境保護(hù)的時候了。5. as if,as though引導(dǎo)的表語從句和方式狀語從句中常用虛擬語氣,與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反用一般過去時;與過去事實(shí)相反用過去完成時。?They talked and talked as if they would never meet again.他們談啊談好像永遠(yuǎn)不會再見面一樣。6. if only引導(dǎo)的感嘆句中,用虛擬語氣表示愿望。?Look at the trouble we’re in. If only we had taken our teacher’s advice!看看我們所處的困境,要是我們接受老師的建議就好了!難點(diǎn)剖析錯綜時間條件句的虛擬語氣當(dāng)條件狀語從句表示的行為和主句表示的行為所發(fā)生的時間不一致時,被稱為"錯綜時間條件句",動詞的形式要根據(jù)它所表示的時間做出相應(yīng)的調(diào)整。?If you had followed the doctor’s advice, you would be better now.如果你當(dāng)時聽醫(yī)生建議的話,你現(xiàn)在就好多了。
