7. 關于虛擬語氣（僅作參考）
“式”(MOOD)是個語法范疇，它是表示語氣的動詞形式。英語動詞有三種式：陳述式(INDICATIVE MOOD),祈使句(IMPERATIVE MOOD)和虛擬式SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD)。陳述式一般用來敘述事實或提出疑問，廣泛用于陳述句、疑問句、感嘆句。可以說百分之九十五的英語句子用的都是動詞陳述式。所介紹的動詞時、體、態等形式都是就陳述式而言的。祈使式主要用于祈使句，是說話人向對方下達命令、指令、提出要求、勸告等所用的動詞形式。例如：
Go back to your seat, please.
Take a ten-minute break now.
Don't walk on the grass.
Don't write in your book.
Let's rest for a while now.
Let's not watch TV tonight.
虛擬式是說話人為表示一種假設的情況、一種主觀的愿望，即認為動詞所表示的動作或狀態并非事實或僅是主觀設想時所用的動詞形式。虛擬式在現代英語中不是以個重要的語法范疇�，F代英語表達虛擬式的口氣可采用多種多樣的語法手段，如采用一般過去時、過去進行體，過去完成體：
It's time we had a rest.
I was wondering if you would let me use your car.
How I wish I had gone there with you!
還可采用情態助動詞的過去時形式加動詞不定式或不定式完成體：
I should/would be there by now if I had started earlier.
He would have been there by now if he had not missed the train.
當然也可采用一種特殊的動詞形式，即虛擬式。
現代用于的虛擬式并不像傳統語法描寫的那樣復雜，它只有兩種形式，即be-型虛擬式(BE-SUBJUNCTIVE)和were-型虛擬式()WERE-SUBJUNCTIVE)。
be-型虛擬式
用于表示命令、決定、建議等詞語之后的that-分句中; 用于由if,though,etc引導的分句中; 用于某些公式化語句中
were-型虛擬式
用于某些狀語分句中; 用于某些名詞性分句中
虛擬式/be-型虛擬式
be-型虛擬式是以動詞原形表示的，既不管主語是什么人稱，動詞一律用原形，如I go, you go, he go后者I be, you be, he be。如果動詞為被動態，則助動詞be也一律用原形，如I be sent, you be sent, he be sent。因此，如果主語是復數，便顯示不出虛擬式與陳述式的區別；除了虛擬式be與陳述式am/is/ are/was/were有所區別外，其他動詞的be-型虛擬式只有在單數第三人稱主語之后才是由標記的。
be-型虛擬式的主要用法如下。
用于表示命令、決定、建議等詞語之后的that-分句中
be-型虛擬式的這一用法又有以下三種情況：
a)用在decide, decree, demand, insist,moveorder,prefer,propose,recommend,request,require,suggest,vote等動詞之后的that分句中。例如：
He ordered that all the books be sent at once.
We propose that somebody neutral take the chair(擔任主席)。
She insisted that she go to the south for her holiday.
Congress has decided /voted/ decreed that the present law be maintained.
The doctor insisted that he not eat meat.
b)用在decision, decree, demand, Instruction, order, requirement, resolution等名詞之后的that-分句中。例如：
The board(理事會) has given instructions that the agent fly to Boston.
We were faced with the demand that this tax be abolished.
Your advice that she wait till next week is reasonable.
Their decision was that the school remain closed.
His order that the troops not be sent at once was carried out.
在這一用法中be-型虛擬式能與“should +不定式”交替使用，也能與不定式被動語態交替使用。例如：
He ordered that the books be sent at once.
=He ordered that books should be sent at once.
=He ordered the books to be sent at once.
It is important that she be placed in an appropriate job.
=It is important that she should be placed in an appropriate job.
=It is important for her to be placed in an appropriate job.
be-型虛擬式能用于由if, though, whatever, lest, so long as等引導的分句中表示推測、讓步、防備等含義。例如：
If he be found guilty, John shall have the tight of appeal.
If the rumour be true, everything is possible.
Though everyone desert you, I will not
Whatever be his defense, we cannot tolerate this disloyalty.
So long as a volume hold together, I am not disturbed as to its outer appearance.
Whether she be right or wrong, she will have my unswerving support.
Quietly we sat on the river bank lest the fish swim away.
上述用法現在只限于正式書面語體，在非正式語體中通常用動詞陳述式或者用should/may+不定式。例如：
If the rumour is true, everything is possible.
He hid himself in the bush lest he should be seen.
Whatever his defense may be, we can't tolerate this disloyalty.
用于某些公式化的語句中
be-型虛擬式用于某些公式化語句中可表示祝愿、詛咒、禁止等意義。例如：
Long live the People's Republic of China!
God bless you!
God damn you!(該死的)
Heaven forbid!（天理不容)
Devil take him!(混蛋)
So be it.(但愿如此/就這樣吧。)
Suffice it to say that...(只需說……就夠了。)
Far be it from me to(我極不愿) spoil the fun.
He will remain here if need be.
Home is home,be it ever so homely.
虛擬式/were-型虛擬式
were-型虛擬式只有一種形式，即不管主語是什么人稱，動詞一律用were,如 I were, you were, he were；如果動詞為進行體或被動態，其助動詞也一律用were,如 I were going, you were going,he were going；又如 I were sent, you were sent,he were sent,因此，were-型虛擬式只有出現在單數第三人稱主語之后，它才在形式上與陳述式was區別開來。were-型虛擬式的主要用法如下。
1.用于某些狀語分句中
were-型虛擬式常用由if,if only ,as if,as though,though引導的條件狀語和讓步狀語分句中，表示非真實的條件或讓步。例如：
If I were you,I should wait till next week.
If it were to rain,the game would be put off.
If only I were not so nervous.(要是不那么緊張就好了。)
He spoke to me as if I were deaf.
He behaves as though he were better that us.
Though the whole world were against me,I would do what I consider as right.
2.用于某些名詞性分句中
were-型虛擬式常用于出現在wish,would rather,suppose,imagine之后的that-分句中，表示一種臆想的(通常是不可能發生的)情況。例如：
I wish it were spring all the year round.
I'd rather I were not at the site of the accident.
Suppose the earth were flat.
Just imagine everyone were to give up smoking.
上述were-型虛擬式在第一、三人稱單數主語之后可為was所取代。例如：
If it was to rain ,the game would be put off.
If only I was not so nervous!
I wish it was spring all the year round.
I'd rather I wasn't at the site of the accident.
但是，在if I were you 這一句中，通常只用were，不用was。另外在某些倒裝結構中也只用were，不用was。例如：
Were I to do it(=If I were to do it,I should rely on you.
還有，在 as it were(作 so to speak解，即“宛如”、“好比”)結構中也只用were，不用was。例如：
He is my best friend,my second self,as it were.
如前所述，虛擬式在現代英語中已經不是一個重要的語法范疇，許多該用虛擬式的地方常為陳述式所取代。以上所述用should代替be,用was代替were就是一例，甚至還可根據語義意圖干脆用現代時形式。例如：
I wish I were/was there.
He looksas if he were/was/is sick.
Imagine you are the salesman for Franco's product.
虛擬式/were-型虛擬式
were-型虛擬式只有一種形式，即不管主語是什么人稱，動詞一律用were,如 I were,you were,he were；如果動詞為進行體或被動態，其助動詞也一律用were,如 I were going,you were going,he were going；又如 I were sent, you were sent,he were sent,因此，were-型虛擬式只有出現在單數第三人稱主語之后，它才在形式上與陳述式was區別開來。were-型虛擬式的主要用法如下。1.用于某些狀語分句中

If it were to rain,the game would be put off.
If only I were not so nervous.(要是不那么緊張就好了。)
He spoke to me as if I were deaf.
He behaves as though he were better that us.
Though the whole world were against me,I would do what I consider as right.
