虚拟语气从句中 should 的省略

虚拟语气从句中should的省略

虽然,虚拟语气这一语法内容在现代英语中变得越来越无足轻重,但虚拟语气从句中should的用法问题一直是重要的语法现象,由于人们日常交际中常涉及到这一语法现象,因此,对于英语学习者来说,必须给予足够的重视。一般说来,在一些特定的词语引导的从句中都要用带should的虚拟语气。在美国英语里,should是可省掉的。具体的省略情况如何呢?现归纳如下:

1.凡是由suggestrequestorderdemandproposedesirecommandinsist等及物动词所带的宾语从句,其谓语部分的should可以省。例如:

The old peasant suggested that a reservoirshouldbe built at the foot of thehill,那位老农建议在这座山脚下修座水库。

The experiment had failed!”“I suggest youshouldtry again.”“实验失败了!”“我提议再试一试。”

thefront.上尉命令他的战士继续开往前线。

The boy insisted that heshouldgo back alone.这孩子坚持要一个人回去。

2.凡是由“It iswasrequestedorderedsuggesteddesireddecided等)that…”引导的名词性主语从句中,其谓语部分的should可以省略。例如:

It is requested that the clothshould be woven at once.下令马上织这种布。

It is desired that the bridgeshouldbe built in

two years.要求两年内建成这座桥。

It has been decided that the meetingshouldbe held

tomorrow已经决定会议明天举行。

3.凡是由“It iswasimportantnecessarythat…”引导的名词性主语从句中,其谓语部分的should可以省略。例如:

It is very important that everyoneshouldwork well.大家把工作做好是很重要的。

It is necessary that our college studentsshouldmaster a foreign language

我们大学生掌握一门外语是很必要的。

4.凡是主句中有以suggestproposalorderideaplannewsmotiondemand等名词后面所带的表语从句或同位语从句中,其谓语部分的should可以省略。例如:

basketball after school.小王建议放学后打篮球。

week.我的意见是下周开班会。

I agree to your motion that weshouldgo swimming

this afternoon.我赞成你的建议,今天下午我们去游泳。

tomorrow.你建议我们明天去参观长城,他们正讨论。

5.凡是由lest(以免;免得),in case(以防)和 for fear that(生怕,唯恐)引导的目的状语从句中,其谓语部分should可以省略。例如:

Keep quiet in case youshouldinterrupt him

when he is busy.要保持安静, 以防打扰他。

She is now studying for fear that sheshouldfail in

English.她现在很勤 奋,生怕英语不及格。

You must wake him early lest heshouldbe late for

school.你务必早点叫 醒他,以免他上学迟到。

值得一提的是,在以上五种情况下用虚拟语气是美国英语和英国英语共 同的特色,所不同的是美国英语通常省掉should,而英国英语通常保留should
