A 当说话人对某种设想是否合理或正当提出疑问时,可把 should用于 can’ t think why/don’t know why/see no reason why:等后面: I don’t know why you should think that I did it. 我真不知道你凭什么竟会认为这件事是我干的。 I see no reason why you should interfere1 in their quarrel. 我不明白你有什么理由竟然会介入他们的争吵。 当这种设想与过去的事情有关时则用完成式: I can’t think why he should have said that it was my fault. 我真不明白他怎么能说这是我的过错。 B 作为一种惯用表达法,should与 what,where,who连用以形象生动地表达惊奇的感情: What should I find but an enormous2 spider! 怎么也想不到我看见的竟是一只巨大的蜘蛛! 这种惊奇经常掺杂着令人为难的因素: Who should come in but his first wife! 怎么也想不到进来的竟是他的前妻! C should用在 lest3后面,有时也用在 in case后面: 1 在书面语中,lest…should结构有时放在表示惧怕或担心的词后面: He was terrified lest he should slip on the icy rocks. 他害怕在结冰的石块上滑倒。 对过去的动作表示担心时用should+完成式: She began to be worried lest he should have met with some accident. 她开始担心他出了什么事。 2 lest也可用于目的从句,表示 for fear that(惟恐): He dared not spend the money lest someone should ask where he had got it. 他不敢花这笔钱,怕有人问他钱是从哪儿来的。 如上所示这是一种书面形式。 在这种情况下 in case较 lest更常用,后面可跟 should或一般现在时或一般过去时: in case someone should ask/someone asked 惟恐万一有人问起(另参见第227节与第337节。) D should 有时用于目的从句以代替 would/could: He wore a mask so that no one should recognize him. 他戴了一个面罩,好让别人认不出他来。(参见第336节。) E 在条件句中用should代替现在时态: If the pain should return take another of these pills. 疼痛复发时,可再吃一片这些药。(参见第224节。) F should 还用于颇为正式的间接命令,这种命令不一定是向对方直接发出的: He ordered that Tom should leave the house. 他下命令叫汤姆离开这所房子。(参见第321节B。) 与下面一句比较一下: He ordered Tom to leave. 他命令汤姆离开。(他亲自告诉汤姆。) 点击收听单词发音
