二、虛擬語(yǔ)氣省略倒裝句　　

在有些虛擬語(yǔ)氣句式中，有時(shí)可以省略引導(dǎo)的虛擬條件句的連詞if，而把had, were, should等提到句首，從而構(gòu)成部分倒裝。如：　　

Had I been informed earlier, I could have done something. 如果早一點(diǎn)通知我，我還可能做一點(diǎn)什么。　　

Were it not for the fact that you helped me, I would be homeless. 若非你的幫助，我仍會(huì)無(wú)家可歸。　　

注意，對(duì)于條件從句含有should而主句使用陳述語(yǔ)氣或祈使語(yǔ)氣的句子也可以采用以上方法進(jìn)行省略和倒裝。如：　　

Should you be interested in our offer, please contact us. 你若對(duì)我們的報(bào)價(jià)感興趣，請(qǐng)與我們聯(lián)系。　　

三、I wish…類(lèi)句式　　

動(dòng)詞 wish 后接賓語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，從句謂語(yǔ)通常要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。其中，從句的時(shí)態(tài)規(guī)律是：要表示與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反的愿望，從句謂語(yǔ)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)或過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)；表示與過(guò)去相反的愿望，從句謂語(yǔ)用過(guò)去完成時(shí)或would / could+have+過(guò)去分詞；表示將來(lái)沒(méi)有把握或不太可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望，用would (could)+動(dòng)詞原形。如：　　

I wish she’d shut up for a moment and let someone else speak. 我希望她停一會(huì)兒，讓別人說(shuō)說(shuō)。　　

I wish you would look at me when I’m trying to speak to you! 當(dāng)我試圖跟你說(shuō)話(huà)的時(shí)候，我希望你能看著我。　　

I bet she wishes (that) she’d never got involved in the whole affair. 我敢打賭她希望自己從未卷入整個(gè)事件里去。　　

四、It’s time that… 類(lèi)句式　　

對(duì)于It’s time后接的定語(yǔ)從句，從句謂語(yǔ)通常用虛擬語(yǔ)氣——用過(guò)去式表示現(xiàn)在或?qū)��?lái)，有時(shí)也用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)，其意為“（早）該干某事了”。如：　　

It’s time that the government put down interest rates. 政府該把利率調(diào)低了。　　

It’s time you started acting like a responsible adult. 你現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該表現(xiàn)得像個(gè)大人了。　　

“It’s time we left,” Ian said, looking at his watch. “我們?cè)撾x開(kāi)了，”伊恩一邊看表一邊說(shuō)。　　

We’ve always had a red car—it’s time we had a change! 我們總是用一輛紅車(chē)，該換一換了。　　

It’s time you woke up to the fact that you’re not very popular. 你早就該明白你沒(méi)什么人緣兒。　　

注意，It’s time…句式中的time前面有時(shí)有about和high修飾。如：　　

It’s about time (that) the school improved its meals service. 學(xué)校早該改善膳食服務(wù)了。　　

五、but for…類(lèi)句式　　

but for 的意思是“若不是”“要不是”，用于表示虛擬的條件，句子謂語(yǔ)要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。如：　　

I would have been in real trouble but for your help. 要不是有你幫忙，那我可就倒大霉了。　　

But for the storm, I would have been home before eight. 要不是因?yàn)檫@場(chǎng)風(fēng)暴，我早在8點(diǎn)鐘以前就回到家里了。　　

But for these interruptions, the meeting would have finished earlier. 要不是幾次被打斷，會(huì)議早就開(kāi)完了。　　

The score could have been higher but for some excellent goalkeeping by Simon. 要不是西蒙幾次出色的撲救，比分還會(huì)更高。　　

順便說(shuō)一句，介詞without有時(shí)可表示條件，引出虛擬語(yǔ)氣，與but for大致同義。如：　　

Without [But for] appropriate software, a computer would be a mere box. 如果沒(méi)有恰當(dāng)?shù)能浖?/SPAN>，電腦只是一個(gè)空盒子罷了。　　

Without [But for] you, our project wouldn’t have succeeded. 如果沒(méi)有你的話(huà)，我們的計(jì)劃就無(wú)法成功了。
