新东方白易礼：英语四级考试语法笔记(六)

　　4、在 I would rather (that)…句型中，后面的从句的谓语动词用过去式(be的过去式用were)。这句话的意思是“我宁可…”，表示说话人的意愿。

　　For example:

　　I’d rather I were in the rain now.

　　I’d rather you did not tell him.

　　5、用在suppose开头的祈使句中，从句的谓语动词变化与as if后面的动词变化规律相同，用过去式、过去完成式、或过去将来式。意思是“假如…”，但suppose 是动词，不是连词。如：

　　Suppose the boss walked in. What should I do?

　　Suppose Saddam had not been captured. What would the U.S. do?

　　Suppose Chen Shui-bian should declare Taiwan independent. What would China do?

　　6、用在for fear that或lest引导的从句中，表示“怕…”“万一…”等意思。从句的谓语动词用should+动词原形，should 可以省略。如：

　　She closed the windows for fear that she (should) catch cold.

　　The officer forbade the use of artillery lest the city’s industry be damaged.

　　Lest the wall should collapse, they evacuated from the building.

　　7. 在表示建议、要求、命令等意思的动词，如arrange, command, demand, desire, insist, order, propose, request, require, suggest, beg, move(提议)后面的宾语从句中，谓语动词用should + 动词原形，should 可以省略，而引导宾语从句的that 不能省略。例如：

　　We suggested that we (should) have a meeting.

　　We insisted that they (should) go with us.

　　The doctor ordered that she (should) stay in bed for a few days.

　　He demanded that we (should) start right away.

　　The commander ordered that the bridge (should) be bombed.

　　The villagers requested that the old building not be pulled down.

　　Now let’s do some translation:

　　总经理坚持该项目必须按计划执行。

　　The general manager insisted that the project be carried out as planned.

　　省长请求再给他一次机会。

　　The governor requested that he be given another chance.

　　美国要求伊朗必须无条件放弃其核武器计划。

　　The United States demanded that Iran should unconditionally give up its nuclear weapon program (program to develop nuclear weapons)

　　最高法院裁定此案必须重新审理。

　　The Supreme Court ruled that this case be retried.

　　医生建议，即使在节假日人们也不应该熬夜。

　　Doctors suggest that people should not stay up late even on holidays.

　　注意：suggest 表示“暗示”时，宾语从句不用虚拟语气。Insist后面强调的是事实时，宾语从句也不用虚拟语气。如：

　　The neighbor suggested that his wife was having an affair.

　　He insisted that he was right.

　　Mike insisted that he had never stolen anything.
