假設語氣過去式be動詞一律用were



回4f
如果是與過去事實相反的假設,不是 had been/ have saved
可以喔,只是意思會有些不一樣。
16. If he_were____the CEO in 2012, he would have saved_the company from bankruptcy.
(D) were / have saved
如果那時2012年 他是ceo的話(以現在的觀點來看),他將早就(would)已(have) saved 救了這公司從破產
16. If he had been____the CEO in 2012, he would have saved_the company from bankruptcy.
had been/ have saved
如果那時2012中,他那時是ceo的話(強調的是當時),他將早就(would)已(have) saved 救了這公司從破產
該說一個是以現在的觀點看過去是用 were
而如果你打算用過去的觀點 過去的當時是,會是要強調一種特殊的立場。
google 打關鍵字找一段來說http://therightsfactory.com/books/if-he-had-been-with-me/
我就照一個 一個字,逐字照翻。
If he had been with me everything would have been different…
大意:如果正在那時他和我在一起的話,那時每件事情將會都已是不一樣了
I wasn’t with Finn on that August night. But I should’ve been.
在八月晩上,我沒有和finn在一起,但我應該和他在一起的,但我沒有。
It was raining, of course. And he and Sylvie were arguing as he drove down the slick road.
那時下著雨,當然。然而他和sylvie正在爭論,當他開車在路滑的下坡路。
No one ever says what they were arguing about. Other people think it’s not important. They do not know there is another story.
這段略省~
The story that lurks between the facts. What they do not know—the cause of the argument—is crucial.
這故事潛伏在這事實和非事實間,他們不知道的是 造成這爭吵的原因,是關鍵的。
So let me tell you…
If he had been with me, he wouldn’t have died.
所以讓我告訴你,如果他那時和我在一起,他將不會已經死了。
所以當要強調過去某一情況的事實相反會用 had been。
而如果是要強調現在的事實相反,
如 if I were you....(如果我是你,但現在事實是我不是你。強調現在事實我現在不是你)
If he_were____the CEO in 2012, he would have saved_the company from bankruptcy.
強調的是 現在事實相反, 事實是以現在的觀點來看 他2012年不是ceo的事實
引用樓上的例子
If he were not a bad guy, he would not have cheated you of your money.
如果他不是一個壞人,但現在事實是他是壞人。強調現在事實他就是壞人
強調的是 現在事實相反。就是說 現在他就是壞人啦。
這句如果是說 If he had been not a bad guy, he would not have cheated you of your money
如果他那時不是壞人,但和過去事實相反,強調的是當時的情況下他就是壞人。而現在他是壞人或好人不知道 強調當時。就是特指某情況下。
所以看你要強調現在的觀點事實,或是當時過去的觀點事實。
