名词性从句中的虚拟语气
( 1 ) It is demanded (requested/required/insisted/suggested/proposed...) /important(essential/necessary/natural/imperative...) / a pity (a shame/no wonder...) + that...等结构的主语从句,谓语动词用 should 加动词原形,should 可省略。
例如:
It is demanded that the president (should) make measures to end the economic recession.
人们要求总统应该采取措施阻止经济衰退。
It is necessary that he (should) go to see a doctor. 他应该去看医生,这是必要的。
It is a pity that he (should) fail to come to the party.他没能参加这个聚会,真是遗憾。
(2)用于宾语从句中
在表示命令、建议、要求(如 demand, command, request, require, insist, suggest, propose, order, recommend)等一类动词后面的从句中,谓语动词用 should 加动词原形,should 可省略。
例如:
I suggest that we (should) hold a meeting next week.我建议下周召开个会议。
He insisted that he (should) be sent there.他要求被派到那儿去。
注意:若 suggest,insist 用于其本意“暗示、表明”“坚持认为”时,宾语从句用陈述
语气。例如:Your pale face suggests that you are ill./ I insisted that you were wrong.
( 3 )demand/command/request/requirement/insistence/suggestion/advice/proposal/recom-mendation/idea/plan/order 等表示要求、建议和命令等名词后面的表语从句、同位语从句中的动词要用虚拟语气,即(should)+动词原形。
例如:
My idea is that we (should) get more people to attend the conference.
我的想法是让更多的人来参加会议。
