三、虚拟语气用于宾语从句
(1)wish + 宾语从句表示不能实现的愿望。可译为:要是……就好了;但愿……等。
表示现在不能实现的愿望,从句的谓语动词用过去时。例如:
I wish it were spring now.
表示将来不能实现的愿望,谓语动词用would/could +动词原形。例如:
I wish you could go with me.
表示过去不能实现的愿望,谓语动词用had + 过去分词或could/would + have +过去分词。例如:
They wish they had paid attention to your warnings.
(2)用在had hoped句型中。表示过去未实现的愿望,宾语从句的谓语用would+原形动词。例如:
I had hoped that my daughter would become a doctor,but she was not interested.
(3)用在表示建议、要求、命令、敦促等动词后面的宾语从句中。从句中谓语动词用should+动词原形,should常可以省略。这些动词有propose,request,arrange,command,demand,order,desire,recommend,move(提议),insist(坚持认为),urge等。例如:
They urged that we(should)take action at once.
(4)用在expect,believe,think,suspect等动词的否定式或疑问形式后的宾语从句中。谓语动词常用should + 动词原形(或完成形式)表示怀疑、惊奇、不满等。例如:
I never thought that she should be such a brave woman.
反之,如果不表示惊奇的情感,从句就用陈述语气。
