as if虚拟语气的用法归纳

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

as if虚拟语气用法：

(1)从句所表示的内容若为事实或可能为事实，也可用陈述语气：

It looks as if we’ll be late.我们似乎要迟到了。

This meat tastes as if it has already gone bad.这肉吃起来似乎已经坏了。

在现代英语中，有时即使从句内容不是事实，也可能用陈述语气：

I feel as if [as though] I’m floating on air.他感到好像漂浮在空中。

The stuffed dog barked as if it is [were, was] a real one.玩具狗叫起来像真狗。

(2)注意It isn’t as if…的翻译：

It isn’t as if he were poor.他不像穷的样子(或他又不穷)。

It isn’t as if you were going away for good.又不是你离开不回来了。
