職稱英語考試語法：were型虛擬式的用法及例題解析

　　I wish that he had not made so much fuss about it.(真希望他不要把那事搞大了。- 過去)

　　I wish that I were a doctor. (我希望我是個醫生就好了。- 現在)

　　(注：這個句型中也可以用I wish that I was a doctor.)

　　I wish that the rain would stop. (真希望雨能停下來。將來)

　　·If only…(要是…就好了)

　　If only you hadnt offended him. (你當時不惹他就好了。- 過去)

　　If only I had some money on hand now. (我現在手頭有些錢就好了。-現在)

　　If only he could come tomorrow. (他明天能來有多好啊。-將來)

　　·It is (about / high) time that…。(是…的時候了)

　　由于該句型只能用在"現在"時間，所以從句的動詞只能是"過去時"形式，例如：

　　It is high time (that) we began to work. (咱們該開始工作了。)

　　·As if (though)…(似乎…)

　　這個句型可以是陳述語氣，也可以是虛擬語氣。虛擬語氣的時態變化原則與"wish"用法相同，例如：

　　She loves the children in the kindergarten as if they were her own. (她象自己孩子一樣熱愛幼兒園的孩子門。 - 現在)

　　He talked about China as if he had been there. (他談起中國來好象去過那里。)

　　It looks as if it is going to rain.(看來天要下雨。- 陳述語氣)

　　·Would (had) rather， would just as soon， would sooner， would prefer 從句結構

　　這幾個句型都表示一種"婉轉的責備"，中文常有"還不如…"，"寧可…""倒希望…"等意思，例如：

　　Id rather she stayed at home in such a bad health condition. (她身體這么差，我倒希望你呆在家里。- 現在)

　　I would just as soon you had returned him the money yesterday. (你還不如昨天就把錢還給他了。- 過去)

　　I would prefer he didnt stay there too long. (我倒不希望他不要在那兒呆得時間太長。)

　　比較：

　　I would prefer that she act the young lady. (我倒認為她演哪個年輕女子比較合適。- 表示建議，用 "should型虛擬式")

　　做虛擬語氣的題目，歸納起來就是兩句話：

　　一、看清是什么形式的虛擬式，"should型"還是 "were型"？

　　二、如果是were型虛擬式，看清句中所給的時態："過去"、"現在"、"將來"？

　　這里的關鍵是：要對構成虛擬語氣的詞、詞組和句型比較敏感。
