英语语法PPT之虚拟语气Subjunctive mood
Subjunctive moodThe subjunctive in the present system is a formal category, as d istinguished from the old categorization which, semantic as it apparently is, used to cover all the verb forms that express assumptions contrary to the given fact or not likely to be materialized, and becomes a far less important verbal category than was suggested. What used to be expressed by means of the formally indistinctive subjunctive mood is now chiefly expressed by means of modal auxiliaries (see Chapter 7), past tense forms (see 5.1.2), past perfect forms (see 5.2.4), etc.Our trimmed subjunctive mood falls into two major types: the be-subjunctive and the were-subjunctive. The be-subjunctive is further divided into the formulaic subjunctive and the mandative subjunctive. For example:God bless you. (formulaic be-subjunctive)They insisted that he be given the job. (mandative be-subjunctive)If I were you, I wouldn't do it. (were-subjunctive)3.1 Be-subjunctiveThe be-subjunctive is formally marked by the use of the base of the verb; that is, the verb invariably occurs in the base form free from the concord constraints with the subject and from the tense agreement with other verbs. Such a verb form is normally found in two environments: certain set phrases of a formulaic character, mostly expressing benedictions or maledictions, and the that-clause following certain verbs, adjectives and nouns denoting volition.a. Formulaic be-subjunctiveThe formulaic be-subjunctive is largely confined to a few fixed expressions, expressions which extend a good wish, which may call down curses upon somebody or place an evil wish, and which may propose a will or indicate a special attitude:God bless you.God save the Queen!Long live liberty!Heaven help us!God damn you!Heaven forbid that...So be it then.Far be it from me to...Be that as it may...Come what may...Suffice it to say that...Such expressions are rare and not very productive in modern English. They are mostly archaic expressions of a will which could well be expressed in many other ways, such as using let, may, etc. Learners of English may learn by heart the few well-established sayings but are not encouraged to coin similar expressions on their own.b. Mandative be-subjunctiveThe base form of the verb is also used in the that-clause when the superordinate clause contains an element denoting volition:He insisted that he do the job on his own.It is important that she talk to him in person.Their advice was that I use a new name, move to new place and start a new life.The following is a list of such elements which commonly introduce a that-clause containing the mandative subjunctive:V erbs: advise, ask, command, decide, demand, desire, insist, move, order, prefer,propose, recommend, request, require, suggest, urge, etc.Adjectives:advisable, desirable, essential, fitting, imperative, important, necessary, etc. Nouns:advice, command, decision, decree, demand, motion, order, proposal,recommendation, request, requirement, resolution, suggestion, etc.The mandative be-subjunctive is more common in American English than in British English, where it is often replaced by should+infinitive as an alternative. Also, the mandative be-subjunctive is preferred in formal English while in a less formal context it can be replaced by other verb forms in spite of the condemnation in textbooks for being non-standard.c. Other uses of be-subjunctiveThe be-subjunctive is also found, especially in formal English, in an adverbial clause of condition, concession, etc. typically introduced by if, though (although, even though), whatever, whether, lest, etc.:If he be found guilty, he will be punished.If he be elected chairman, we shall all resign.Though he be reduced to poverty, he will never be dishonest.I shall follow him even though he slay me.Whatever be your reason for that, we shall not tolerate your dishonesty.Whether he confess or not, he shall face the severest punishment.The movie star is wearing sunglasses lest he be recognized.Home is home, be it ever so homely.Immediate actions must be taken if need be.In such contexts, the more usual verb forms are the simple present tense and may/should+infinitive, except for the last two which are formulaic in nature.3.2 Were-subjunctiveThe were-subjunctive is the smallest grammatical category because it has only one form—were. It is used with all subjects regardless of their person distinctions, thus formally contrasting with the indicative forms of be.The subjunctive were is usually found in subordinate clauses expressing hypothesis (in which case was could often be used as an informal alternative if possible):If she were here now, he wouldn't be that rude.If only she were here.If he were to arrive now, he'd still be too late for the interview.He speaks as if he were the boss here.I wish he were here with us.Suppose he were to fail.Note that in more fixed expressions, the were-subjunctive is generally preferred or probably obligatory:If I were you, I wouldn't tell her the news.He is my best friend—my second self, as it were.Also note that were, not was, can be used to introduce a conditional clause with inverted word order:Were it to rain tomorrow, the opening ceremony would have to be postponed.Were he to arrive now, he'd still be late for the interview.。
