英語早間課堂:If S had done, S would had done.

Morning!I am Juliet. Nice to meet you on the air. Hope we could spend a wonderful morning together. An hour in the morning is worth two hours in the evening. 一天之計(jì)在于晨，若您有個(gè)美好的晨間生活，相信您一天的生活都是美好的。A hard beginning makes a good ending. 常言道：善始善終。

【習(xí)題答案及點(diǎn)評】

We have been learning Sentences of Unreal Condition which express a speaker's subjective wishes and conjectures. And what he says is opposite to the present fact. To begin with, I am about to be out with the answers to the translation exercises left last time.

please translate the following sentences in two ways. 這里說到用2種方式翻譯，就是用正常語序翻譯和使用倒裝句翻譯。

1 萬一她對芭蕾舞感興趣的話，請她打電話給我。(這句話可以用四種翻譯法。)If she should be interested in ballet, please give me a call.

If she should be interested in ballet, you can ( will ) give me a ring.

If she should be interested in ballet, you would ( could )give me a ring.

Should she be interested in ballet, please give me a call.

【點(diǎn)評】

1 這句話可以判斷為對將來的情況的一種假設(shè)，句中有萬一二字，要突出這2個(gè)字，從句用should do, 主句用would ( could ) do。

2 虛擬條件句中的從句如果是含有should+動(dòng)詞原形的話，主句可以使用“陳述語氣”或者是“祈使語氣”，第一句主句是祈使句，第二句主句是陳述句。

2 要不是他們貸款，我們的生活就很困難。

If it weren't for their loan, our life might ( would) be very difficult.

Were it not for their loan, our life might ( would ) be very difficult.

【點(diǎn)評】

這句話可以判斷為對現(xiàn)在情況的說明，也可以判斷為對過去情況的說明，至于對過去情況如何翻譯，we’ll talk about it in the future.

【復(fù)習(xí)總結(jié)】

I know that many of English learners say English grammar is very complex so that they would rather give it up rather than making a breakthrough for it. But actually it isn't as difficult as they say. We can get over grammar by remembering sentence patterns. Just like in the middle school, our teachers told us to remember this sentence pattern: it takes somebody sometime to do something. That's enough. Now have you remembered the sentence patterns we studied? Yes or no, it doesn't matter. We are about to have a summary and review.

1 If S did, S+would ( should , could , might )do.

2 If S were (was) to do, S+would(should, could, might)do.

3 If S were ( was) S, S+would(should, could, might)do.

4 If S + should do, S + would ( should , could , might )do.

5 If it weren't for somebody/ something,S+wouldn't ( couldn't, shouldn't might not) do.

6 Were it not for..., S+wouldn't ( couldn't, shouldn't might not) do.

7 Should S do, S+would( could, might ) do.
