譯文:(我去買東西的時候,)我寧可依賴寫下來的條子也不用大腦記東西。
7. i tend to see pictures in my mind when i am reading or listening.
剖析:句子中tend to do…是“有。。。趨勢、傾向”的意思。
譯文:在閱讀或做聽力的時候,我有一種傾向,好像在腦子里看到一幅一幅的圖畫。
8. i usually remember people’s faces but i am often vague about their names.
剖析:be vague about是“對。。。模糊”意思。比如:i’m vague about what she said at the meeting yesterday.我記不清她昨天在會上講了些什么。
譯文:我通常能記住人們的面容,但是卻常常忘記他們的名字。
四、語法知識歸納梳理—虛擬語氣
中學生要掌握“虛擬語氣在條件句中的使用”、“虛擬語氣在賓語從句中的使用”、“虛擬語氣在表達‘愿望、主張’等從句中的使用”和“虛擬語氣在特殊結構中的使用”等。這些是進一步學習英語的重要基礎。現分述如下:
1.虛擬條件是指講話人認為無法實現、不可能存在的條件。在考題中,出題人會將虛擬條件轉成其他的“事實”陳述,而不以if-clause的形式出現。
1)與現在事實不符的虛擬條件句
if professor zhang were here, he could/would/might/should help us.張教授現在如果在這里,他就能/就會/也許/應該幫助我們。(四個情態動詞各表達講話人不同的講話態度,要注意選擇使用。)
2)與過去事實不符的虛擬條件句
if you had gone to the meeting yesterday, you should have known what was discussed there.昨天,你如果參加了會議,就應該知道會議上討論了什么。
had tom met me before, i might have told him about it.湯姆要是早點兒遇到了我,我也許把這件事告訴過他了。(省略if就要將謂語部分的<第一個>動詞調到句首)
真題:
1. it is hard for me to imagine what i would be doing today if i _____ in love at the age of seven, with the melinda cox library in my hometown. (上海)
a. wouldn’t have fallen b. had not fallen c. should fall d. were to fall.
解析:這是混合時態、混合語氣的主從復合句。主句is hard是陳述語氣;賓語從句里的主句謂語would be doing是“與現在事實不符”的虛擬語氣;if引導的條件句謂語應該要是與過去事實不符的虛擬語氣,因為at the age of seven是明確的時間狀語。故選b。
2. oh, i’m not feeling well in the stomach. i ______ so much fried chicken just now. (上海)
a. shouldn’t eat b. mustn’t have eaten c. shouldn’t have eaten d. mustn’t eat
解析:時間狀語just now和過去時態連用,因此這是與過去事實不符的虛擬語氣。故選c。
3. he hesitated for a moment before kicking the ball, otherwise he _____ a goal. (上海)
