as if虛擬語氣的用法
有時用虛擬語氣,若表示與現在事實相反,謂語動詞用一般過去時;若表示與過去事實相反,用過去完成時;表示將來的可能性不大,用would (might, could)+動詞原形。
英語語法網要特別提醒同學們,這是一個中考英語中的高頻考點,同學們一定要多加注意。
它的常槼用法相信同學們都很熟悉,今天小牛英語要跟大家強調兩點罕見情況。
(1) 從句所表示的內容若爲事實或可能爲事實,也可用陳述語氣:
It looks as if we'll be late. 我們似乎要遲到了。
This meat tastes as if it has already gone bad. 這肉喫起來似乎已經壞了。
在現代英語中,有時即使從句內容不是事實,也可能用陳述語氣:
I feel as if [as though] I'm floating on air. 他感到好像漂浮在空中。
The stuffed dog barked as if it is [were, was] a real one. 玩具狗叫起來像真狗。
(2) 注意 It isn't as if…的繙譯:
It isn't as if he were poor. 他不像窮的樣子(或他又不窮)。
It isn't as if you were going away for good. 又不是你離開不廻來了。
