GWD-9-Q19 虚拟语气为什么主句不用should+动词原形

trix1990

In many nations, criminal law does not apply to corporations, but in the United States
today, a corporation commits a crime whenever one of its employees commits a crime, if
the employee acted within the scope of his or her authority and if the corporation benefited
as a result.
         答案为A，选出正确答案方式有很多。但是如果以虚拟语气去解释if从句中用了一般过去式的话，主句动词为什么不是should+动词原型？

主句是陈述客观事实，所以用一般时

虚拟语气里有什么客不客观事实一说么？

主句不虚拟，从句虚拟。 这是常见用法 Should he come (If he should come), tell him to give me a call.

首先，虚拟语气的主句应该是would+动词原型。
其次，这里不是虚拟语气。虚拟语气是用于描述与事实相反的情况，而这里并非与事实相反，事实就是如此，法律就是这样规定的。这里是在作假设，假如employ这样做了，那么corporation就犯罪了

同would，could和might也可以用表达虚拟语气。
