三、几种特殊的虚拟条件从句
1.省略if形式的虚拟语气
在if虚拟条件句中,若省略if,则将should,were,had前置,构成主谓倒装句式。
Should he agree to go there(=If he should agree to go there),we would send him there.
要是他答应去的话,我们就派他去。
Were she my daughter(=If she were my daughter),I wouldn't allow her to study abroad.
如果她是我的女儿的话,我就不让她出国学习了。
Had I worked harder(=If I had worked harder),I would have succeeded.
如果我当时努力学习的话,我就会成功的。
2.混合虚拟语气
若主句和从句所表示的时间不一致,就构成了混合虚拟语气或错综虚拟语气,此时,主句和从句的时态形式根据实际的时间概念来定。
If she had followed the doctor's words,she would feel better now.
如果当初她听从了医生的建议,现在就会好多了。
If he were free today,we would have sent him to Beijing.
如果他今天有空的话,我们就会已经派他去北京了。
3.含蓄虚拟语气
有时候假设的条件不是通过条件从句表达,而是隐含在某些介词短语中,如without...,but for...等;某些副词或连词中,如otherwise,however,or,but等。
Without music(=If there were no music),the world would be dull.
世界若无音乐将会很枯燥。
But for your help(=If there had not been your help),I would not have succeeded in the experiment.
如果没有你的帮助,我的实验就不会成功。
I'm really very busy,otherwise(=if I were not so busy) I would certainly go there with you.
