讀者 Dean 還問了別的問題,現(xiàn)在繼續(xù)回答。他問以下哪一句是對(duì)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.
從文法上來說,第二句是錯(cuò)的。因?yàn)橐詶l件式句子(conditional sentence)去表達(dá)未能達(dá)成的目標(biāo)時(shí),假設(shè)性條件的從屬子句應(yīng)采用過去完成時(shí)態(tài)而非簡單過去時(shí)態(tài)。所以應(yīng)改寫成 "if I had had three kids to take care of"。
第一和第三句文法完全沒有問題。但由于不清楚 Dean 想表達(dá)的意思,所以不能判斷哪一句是 Dean 需要的。我們?cè)嚢堰@兩句翻譯出來:
1. 如果我要照顧三個(gè)孩子,我考試就不會(huì)不及格。
3. 如果我不用照顧三個(gè)孩子,我考試就會(huì)及格。
按照常理,第一句有點(diǎn)不知所云,Dean 所想的應(yīng)該是第三句。
