详细解说
❶ “I wonder5…”或“I am/was wondering…”的结构,表示“我想知道……”,用于
礼貌性地向别人发出询问,语气较委婉,例如:I wonder when the two of
you are going to join us.(我想知道你们俩什么时候加入我们。)另外,这个
结构也可以用于礼貌性地请求别人做某事,例如:I was wondering whether19
you'd like to help me prepare20 the party.(我想知道你是否愿意帮我准备这个派
对。)
❷ “wish”后面跟的宾语从句要使用虚拟语气,主要形式有3种:(1)表示对
现在情况的虚拟:wish + 主语 + 动词过去式或were;(2)表示对过去情况
的虚拟:wish + 主语 + had + 过去分词;(3)表示对将来情况的虚拟:wish
+ 主语 + would21 + 动词原形。例如:I wish I were rich.(我希望我现在很富
有。)At times I wish we had never moved house.(有时候我希望我们从来就
没有搬过家。)I wish he would join in with the other children.(我希望他将来
能和其他孩子们玩到一起。)
❸ 在“as”引导的让步状语从句中,需要使用倒装结构。
