will與would用法詳解

1. 表示意愿

will 表示現(xiàn)在的意愿，would表示過去的意愿：

I will pay you at the rate you ask. 我愿意照你要求的價錢付款。

Go where you will. 你愿到哪里就到哪里。

He wouldn’t help me yesterday. 他昨天不愿幫助我。

She asked if I would go with them. 她問我是否愿同他們一起去。

【注】(1) 表示“意愿”的 will 有時可用于條件句中：

If you will allow me, I will see you home. 如果你同意，我可以送你回家。

(2) would也可表示現(xiàn)在的意愿，語氣較委婉：

I’d go there with you. 我愿同你去那兒。

I wouldn’t go. 我不會去。

2. 表示征求意見或提出請求

主要用于第二人稱的疑問句中，will和would均可用，would此時并不表過去，而表示委婉語氣：

Won’t you take off your coat? 你要不要把大衣脫掉?

Will [would] you please post the letter for me? 請幫我寄了這封信好嗎?

Would Sunday night suit you? 星期天晚上適合你嗎?

【注】(1) 有時為使語氣委婉，可用否定式。總的說來，用would比用will委婉，用won’t和wouldn’t比單獨用will和would要委婉。

(2) would有時用于提出想法，通常與like, love, hate, prefer, be glad, be happy等連用，若用于第一人稱有時也可將would換成should：

I’d like [love] to have a look at it. 我想看看它。

I would prefer not to go out today. 我今天不想出去。

3. 表示習(xí)慣和傾向性

will表示現(xiàn)在的習(xí)慣，would表示過去的習(xí)慣：

Oil will float on water. 油總是浮在水上。

This window won’t open. 這扇窗戶經(jīng)常打不開。

He’ll talk for hours, if you let him. 你要讓他講，他會講幾個小時。

The wound would not heal. (過去)傷口老不愈合。

When he was a child, he would often go skiing. 他小時候經(jīng)常去滑雪。

He would sit there for hours sometimes doing nothing at all. 有時他在那里一坐幾個鐘頭，什么也不做。

【注】有時would表示經(jīng)常發(fā)生的令人不耐煩的事：

That’s just like him—he would lose his keys! 他就是這樣，老丟鑰匙!
