16.4 虚拟条件句的倒装 |
虚拟条件句的从句部分如果含有were,should,或had,可将if省略,再把were,should或had 移到从句句首,实行倒装。 Were they here now,they could help us.=If they were here now,they could help us. Had you come earlier,you would have met him=If you had come earlier,you would have met him. Should it rain,the crops would be saved.=Were it to rain,the crops would be saved. 注意: 在虚拟语气的从句中,动词'be'的过去时态一律用"were",不用was,即在从句中be用were代替。 If I were you,I would go to look for him. 如果我是你,就会去找他。 If he were here,everything would be all right.如果他在这儿,一切都会好的。 典型例题 _____ 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.在虚拟条件状语中如果有were,should,had这三个词,通常将if省略,主语提前,变成 were,should,had+主语的形式。但要注意,在虚拟条件状语从句中,省略连词的倒装形式的句首不能用动词的缩略形式。如我们可说 Were I not to do.而不能说 Weren't I to do. |
