虚拟语气中的含蓄条件句常见用法
先看一道高考题:
____ more attention,the trees could have grown better.
A.Given B.To give C.Giving D.Having given
(答案是A)
句中"...the trees could have grown better"是一个表达虚拟语气的句子。题中要求选择的是如何表达假设条件的形式。如果我们把这个句子用另一种形式"If they had been given more attention ,the trees could have grown better."来表示,就不难理解了。很多情况下,在表示假设的虚拟语气中,有时假设的条件并不以条件从句的形式表达,而是通过上下文或句中内在的逻辑关系,或用其它形式表达出来,我们称之为"含蓄条件句"。
含蓄条件句主要通过名词、连接词、不定式、分词、动名词短语、介词短语及分句来暗示。这些表达形式在句中实际起着虚拟条件从句的作用。现分述如下:
一、介词短语
常用来表示虚拟条件的介词有with,without,in,under,but for等等,它们表示的虚拟条件都可以被if从句替换。
(1)without,with
without表示否定的条件,意为if...not;with与without意义相反,表示肯定的条件。如:
Without air,there would be no living things.(without air =if there were no air)没有空气,便没有生物。
With her help(=If I had her help),I would do the experiment well.假如有她帮助,我就可以把这个实验做好。
(2)under
Under the leadership of a less experienced person,the experiment would have failed.
(under...=If there had been the leadership of a less experienced person)假设在一个缺少经验的人领导下进行实验,实验准会失败。
(3)in
I would have lost my head in that position.(in that position =if I had been in that position)我处在那种情况下,是会丧失理智的。

二、连接词or ,otherwi,but,以少胜多的战役but that等等中秋节的传统习俗
I'm really busy,otherwi(=普通刺猬if I weren't so busy),I would certainly go with you.我确实太忙了。不然的话,我一定和你一块去。
But that I saw it(=If I had not en it),I could not have believed it.要不是亲眼看见
的话,我是不会相信的。
三、分词短语
United(=If they had been united),they wouldn't have been defeated.他们要是团结起来,就不会被打败。
Seen from a high mountain(=If it were en from a high mountain),the field in which wheat is growing would look like a great green a.倘若从高山上看,麦田就像一片碧绿的大海。
四、动词不定式短语
It would be only partly right to answer in this way.(=if we answered in this way)如果这样回答,只对一部分。
To hear him speak English(=If one were to hear him speak English),one would think him an Englishman.要是听他讲起英语来,人们会认为他是一个英国人。
五、形容词或其比较级的形式
A less difficult problem would have already been solved.(=If the problem had been less difficult,it would have already been solved.)要是问题不那么难的话,它早就被解决了。
An honest man would not do such a thing.(=If he were an honest man手撕包菜的家常做法,he would not do such a thing.)诚实的人是不会做这种事的。
六、名词

七、"名词+and"的结构

八、独立主格结构或由with引导的复合结构
All things considered(=If all things were considered),the price would be reasonable.如果全面考虑起来,价格可能是合理的。
