虚拟语气释疑(3)

分类: 英语学习方法 

二、在表示建议、命令、要求、忠告等动词的后面的宾语从句中的虚拟语气

由于这些动词本身隐含说话者的主观意见,认为某事应该或不应该怎样,这些词语后面的“that”从句应用虚拟语气,且均以“should+动词原形”表示这种语气,但事实上“should”常被省略,故此从句中谓语动词用原形,常用的此类动词有:

表示“要求”的:ask, desire, request, demand, require, beg

表示“提议、劝告、建议”的:move, prpose, suggest, recommend, advise, vote

表示“决定、命令”的:decide, order

表示“主张”的:maintain, urge

表示“同意、坚持”的:consent, insist

例如:

1.The doctor suggested that he (should) try to lose his weight.

2.He insisted that we (should ) tell him the news.

3.When I suggested that he try shaving cream, he said, “The razor and water do the job. ”(当我建议他用刮胡膏时,他说“剃刀和水就行了”。)

4.He pursued various theories for several days until I suggested we take the toy apart to see how it did work. (他费了几天功夫寻找理论根据,直到我建议拆开看看它是如何转动的。)

5.One can suggest that students should spend two or three years in an English?speaking country. (我们建议学生应在说英语的国家呆上两三年。)

在表示命令、建议、要求等一类动词后面的从句中虚拟语气很普遍,其结构如:

order, suggest, propose, require, demand, request, insist, command, insist +... (should) do

6.I suggest that we (should) hold a meeting next week.

7.He insisted that he (should ) be sent there.

但注意:在insist 后的从句中, 如果是坚持自己, 用陈述语气, 坚持别人做什么事情, 用虚拟语气.

8.she insists that she is right.

9.she insisted that I should finish the work at once.

或者说,suggest, insist不表示建议或坚持要某人做某事时,即它们用于其本意暗示、表明、坚持认为时,宾语从句用陈述语气。

10.The guard at gate insisted that everybody obey the rules. 

判断改错:

(错)11. You pale face suggests that you (should) be ill.

(对)12. Your pale face suggests that you are ill.

(错)13. I insisted that you ( should) be wrong.

(对)14. I insisted that you were wrong.

例题分析:15.It is politely requested by the hotel management that radios ______ after 11 o"clock at night.

A. were not played B. not be played

C. not to play D. did not play

全句意思是:“旅馆管理部门恳请客人晚上11点后不要打开收音机”。句中的谓语动词request(请求)所引出的从句应当用虚拟语气,即动词原形或“should+动词原形”。本句的主语从句中,主语radio是谓语动词play 的客体,谓语应当用被动语态。所以,答案是C) not be played。在上述这类句子中不能用动词过去时形式表示虚拟语气,所以A)不正确。选项B) not to play是动词带to的不定式,不能在句中作谓语。选项D)did not play也是动词play的过去时形式,同样不能在本句中作为虚拟语气来使用。而且,它是主动语态形式,而本题要用被动语态。

练习:

16). The chairman requested that .

[A]the members studied more carefully the problem

[B]the problem was more carefulnessly studied

[C]with more carefulness the problem could be studied

[D]the members study the problem more carefully

17). The committee recommends that the matter at the next meeting .

[A]would be discussed

[B]will be discussed

[C]be discussed

[D]may be discussed

18). The doctor insisted that his patient .

[A]that he not work too hard for three months

[B]take it easy for three months

[C]taking it easy inside of three months

[D]to take some vacations for three months

三、在expect, believe, think, suspect等动词的否定或疑问形式后的宾语从句中的虚拟语气

在expect, believe, think, suspect等动词的否定或疑问形式后的宾语从句中,我们经常用“should+动词原形(或完成形式)”,表示惊奇,怀疑,不满等。

I never thought that he should be such a brave young soldier.

我们从来没想到他是个如此勇敢的小战士。

练习:

1) that the time will soon be ripe for intervention in Iran,they would be faced by a large army?

[A]It is believed

[B]Should they believe

[C]They would believe

[D]If they would believe

2) I think it advisable that he for Tokyo soon.

[A]will leave

[B]may leave

[C]leave

[D]leaves
