第三部分课程

SPECULATING (Ⅳ)- UNREAL CONDITIONS IN THE FUTURE/PRESENT推测(Ⅳ)一现在或将来与事实
相反的条件句在第40讲里，我们学了有可能实现的条件句。这一讲，我们要学习现在或将来与事实相反的条件甸，这指的是不可能或不大可能发生的事情，和纯粹假定的情况。现任或将来与事实相反的条件句也由两部分构成：主句和if引导的从句。其时态是：从句一过去时主句 would（简略为'd）从句型用过去时，并小是指过去。它只说明这件串在现在或将来是与事实相反的，或是不大可能发生的。句子的结构如下:
从句 IF+PAST tense
+
主句 would/'d
IF I was younger,I'd learn a musical instrument．
IF I had my time again, I'd be an astronaut．
在上面这两个例子里，从句所说的事情都是不可能发生的。
在以下这两个例子里，从句所说的事情不是完全不可能做到的，然而是不会发生的。从第一句话的时态就可以看出，说话的人是不会嫁给一个飞行员的。
IF I married a pilot,I'd never see him.
IF I lived near the city,I'd never be late for work．
注意：
在否定句里，would要变成wouldn't。
If I lived near the city,I wouldn't be late for work.
If he left school now, he wouldn't get a good job.
如果主甸要表示做某件事的能力，就不用would，而用could*。例如：
If you sold your old machines,you could afford new ones．
If I knew her phone number, I could ring her up.
*(could=would be able to)
介绍两个常用的短语：
1．I WOULD IF I COULD
A: Why don't you visit China?
B: would if I could.
(= I would go if I could go.)
2．IF I WERE YOU
If,were you, I'd get a loan from the bank.
这个短语常常用来给别人出主意。请注意，在这个固定的短语里，通常不说if I was，而说if I were。
在这一讲里，你将会听到一支歌，歌词是：
If I were a blackbird, I'd whistle and sing....
（假如我息一只乌鸫鸟，我要歌唱，还要吹口哨……）
