两道高中虚拟语气的问题

Question

---I am going to tell her the news
---I would as soon you _____her about it
A. didn’t tell B. don’t tell C. hadn’t tell D. won’t tell这题怎么不选B呢？The kind-hearted couple treat the orphan very well as though he ____ their own son
A. is B. were C. had been D. should be这题as if后面接的是虚拟语气啊，对现在的虚拟不应该用过去式吗？怎么会选A呢？

Answer 1

1. 选A。would as soon +从句用虚拟语气，相当于would rather + 从句，所以从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时。
2. as if, as though引导的方式状语从句（或表语从句）有时可以用真实语气代替虚拟语气，尤其在look等感官动词以及treat等对待人物态度时。
