虛擬條件句的倒裝
虛擬條件句的從句部分含有were, should, 或had時(shí), 可省略if,再把were, should或had 移到從句的句首,實(shí)行倒裝。例如:
Were they here now, they could help us. =If they were here now, they could help us.他們現(xiàn)在在的話,就會(huì)幫助我們了。
Had you come earlier, you would have met him. =If you had come earlier, you would have met him.你來得早一點(diǎn),就碰到他了。
Should it rain, the crops would be saved. =Were it to rain, the crops would be saved.假如下雨,莊稼就有救了。
注意:在虛擬語氣的從句中,動(dòng)詞\'be\'的過去時(shí)態(tài)一律用\"were\",不用was,即在從句中be用were代替。例如:
If I were you, I would go to look for him. 如果我是你,就會(huì)去找他。
If he were here, everything would be all right. 如果他在這兒,一切都會(huì)好的。
典型例題
_____ to do the work, I should do it some other day.
A. If were I B. I were C. Were I D. Was I
答案C. 在虛擬條件狀語中如果有were, should, had這三個(gè)詞,通常將if省略,主語提前, 變成 were, should, had +主語的形式。但要注意,在虛擬條件狀語從句中,省略連詞的倒裝形式的句首不能用動(dòng)詞的縮略形式。如我們可說 Were I not to do, 而不能說 Weren\'t I to do。
