想问下:为什么要用if x happened, then y would happen这样的结构?这是虚拟吧,为什么要用虚拟?虚拟这里我一直掌握的不好,求大神讲解,谢谢!作者: 木以晨夕 时间: 2013-7-28 16:17
assume在这里表示虚拟语气作者: psycheatgmat 时间: 2013-7-28 16:40
虚拟句用来描述说话人想象的,非真实的情景,这些情景通常是不可能发生的,与客观实际相反的,或发生可能性极小,表示的是假设或实际可能性不大的情况
题中的assume就暗含了假设的情况
without it their grip on Algeria would never be secure=If they have not been with it,their grip on A would nver be secure.作者: fightingxuxu 时间: 2013-7-29 15:18
这里不是对什么时候虚拟的问题,这是assumed的宾语从句,宾语从句里的谓语动词时态要与主句的谓语动词时态保持一致,再说了,这种用法很常见,我翻了下曼哈顿,里面关于时态那一章就有一句类似的话:The scientist announced that the supercollider was ready, that it had not cost too much, and that it would provide new insights into the workings of the universe.他的解释是:“The helping verb would expresses the future from the past's point of view" 另外,刚好在THE NEW YORK TIMES也看到一句,我截下来附在下面,希望帮助你理解C:\Users\DNS\Desktop\QQ图片20130730182153.jpg作者: psycheatgmat 时间: 2013-7-30 18:35
