68 名詞從句虛擬語氣句 Track66
虛擬語氣除了在上述非真實(shí)條件從句中應(yīng)用以外,在特定的名詞從句中也會用到。這里所說的“特定的名詞從句”是指這樣的名詞從句中均要含有特定的標(biāo)志詞,這些標(biāo)志詞可以用來表示愿望、建議、命令、請求和意志等語氣。而且,與非真實(shí)條件虛擬語氣句中主句和從句謂語動詞形式完全不同的是,名詞從句虛擬語氣句謂語變化形式只有一條規(guī)律,那就是名詞從句虛擬語氣句無論主句的謂語動詞是何種形式,從句謂語形式均為should + 動詞原形,should可以省去。這里特別提醒讀者注意的是不是用would, 而是用should。
先看下例:
I suggest that we should go tomorrow. 我建議我們明天走。
I suggested that we should go the next day. 我當(dāng)時建議我們第二天走。
上例中的suggest 即是我們所說的標(biāo)志詞,這里我們看到從句中的謂語時態(tài)(should go)并沒有受主句謂語時態(tài)(suggest, suggested)的影響。
由此可知,要掌握名詞從句的虛擬語氣句,記住相應(yīng)的標(biāo)志詞即可,一旦主句中出現(xiàn)某一個標(biāo)志詞,我們就注意其從句謂語必須用(should +) do的形式。
