谈谈虚拟语气
如果你看到下列的句子,你会认为它们是正确的还是错的呢?
1.I wish I were a bird.
2.We request that you be here tomorrow.
也许你会说:哈哈,第一句的 I were 错了,应该是 I was;而第二句中的 you be是什么东东呀?不是 you are, 也不是 you will be, 什么 you be?!其实上面的句子都是一种称为 Subjunctive 类型的句子。Subjunctive Mood 有的书译为假设语气,虽不很贴切;但在相当大的程度上,告诉我们这种句子的特点。Subjunctive Mood中文译作虚拟语气,似乎不及假设语气那么容易明白。它是一种动词形式,表示说话人的某种假设、愿望、怀疑、猜测、建议等含义。基本上,虚拟语气可分为虚拟现在(Subjunctive Present)和虚拟过去(Subjunctive Past)两种;但它们和时态(Tenses)上所指的现在时态(Present Tense)和过去时态(Past Tense)是有所不同的。
一、虚拟现在(Subjunctive Present):
虚拟现在的句子,在任何时候都要用动词的原形(root form),就算是第三人称(he,she, it)也是如此。如:
1.1 现在时态(Simple Present): (右边为虚拟语气)
I work ---- I work
you work ---- you work
he works ---- he work (注意到了吗,是 work,不是 works)
she works ---- she work (不是 she works 喔)
it works ---- it work (同样不是 it works 喔)
we work ---- we work
they work ---- they work
1.2 现在进行时态(Present Continuous):(右边为虚拟语气)
I am working ---- I be working (注意用的是 be,怪怪的!)
you are working ---- you be working
he is working ---- he be working
she is working ---- she be working
it is working ---- it be working
we are working ---- we be working
they are woring ---- they be working
1.3 现在完成时态(Present Perfect):(右边为虚拟语气)
I have worked ---- I have worked
you have worked ---- you have worked
he has worked ----- he have worked (用的还是have喔)
she has worked ---- she have worked
it has worked ---- it have worked
we have worked ---- we have worked
they have worked ---- they have worked
1.4 现在完成进行时态(Present Perfect Continuous):(右边为虚拟语气)
I have been working ---- I have been working
you have been working ---- you have been working
he has been working ---- he have been working (是 he have, 不是 he has )
she has been working ---- she have been working
it has been working --- it have been working
we have been working ---- we have been working
they have been working ---- they have been working
