Ask & Learn闻问切英语口语:Conditional Sentence
读者 Dean 还问了别的问题,现在继续回答。他问以下哪一句是对的?
1. I would not have failed the exam if I had had three kids to take care of.
2. I would not have failed the exam if I had three kids to take care of.
3. I would have passed the exam if I had not had three kids to take care of.
从文法上来说,第二句是错的。因为以条件式句子(conditional sentence)去表达未能达成的目标时,假设性条件的从属子句应采用过去完成时态而非简单过去时态。所以应改写成 "if I had had three kids to take care of"。
第一和第三句文法完全没有问题。但由于不清楚 Dean 想表达的意思,所以不能判断哪一句是 Dean 需要的。我们试把这两句翻译出来:
1. 如果我要照顾三个孩子,我考试就不会不及格。
3. 如果我不用照顾三个孩子,我考试就会及格。
按照常理,第一句有点不知所云,Dean 所想的应该是第三句。
