【Key structures】
第 2 类条件句(虚拟条件句)
第 1 类条件句,谈论将有可能发生的事情,并且考虑其将来的真实结果。主句用一般将来时,从句用
一般现在时或其他形式的现在时。
If you help me,I will be gratefull. 如果你帮我, 我会感激你 (正常语气) If it rains, I will not go. 正常语气(不一定会去)
第 2 类条件句,if 从句谈论想象的情况(假设与现在事实相反),主句则推测想象的结果。 从句使用一般过去时, 主句使用 would+动词原形。尽管第 2 类条件句使用过去时,却并非指过去的时间,所以,if 之后的过去时用法常被称为“非真实的过去”,整个条件句也被称作非真实条件句。
If you helped me,I would be grateful.
如果你帮了我, 我会感激你(可惜你没有帮我, 我不会感激你) If it rained,it would not be hot. 如果下雨, 就不会这么热
If you could make him change his mind, you would save him a lot of trouble.
假如你能使他改变主意, 你会使他免了许多麻烦.
如果 if 从句中的动词是 be, 那么应该在第一和第三人称单数名词之后用 were。If I were you 这种说法经常用于提出建议。
If I were you, I’d accept their offer.
If I were in your position, I would act differently.
假如我处于你的位置, 我会采取不同的作法.
第 2 类条件句有时也可代替第 1 类条件句来描述颇有可能发生的事情,但比第 1 类条件句较为“无把
握”。
If you went by train, you would get there earlier. If you go by train, you will get there earlier.
第 2 类条件句经常用来描写完全不可能的事情。
If I had longer legs, I’d be able to run faster.
