1. as if 从句用陈述语气的情况。
当说话者认为句子所述的是真实的或极有可能发生或存在的事实时。如: It sounds as if it is raining. 听起来像是在下雨。 He talks as if he is drunk. 从他谈话的样子来看他是醉了。 2. as if 从句用虚拟语气的情况。 当说话人认为句子所述的是不真实的或极少有可能发生或存在的情况时。从句虚拟语气动词时态的形式如下: (1)如果从句表示与现在事实相反,谓语动词用一般过去时。如: You look as if you didn’t care. 你看上去好像并不在乎。 He talks as if he knew where she was. 他说话的样子,好像他知道她在哪里似的。 (2)从句表示与过去事实相反,谓语动词用“had+过去分词”。如: He talks about Rome as if he had been there before. 他说起罗马来好像他以前去过罗马似的。 The girl listened as if she had been turned to stone. 那女孩倾听着,一动也不动,像已经变成了石头似的。 (3)从句表示与将来事实相反,谓语动词用“would/could/might+动词原形”。如: He opened his mouth as if he would say something. 他张开嘴好像要说什么。 It looks as if it might snow. 看来好像要下雪了。 |
