情态动词和虚拟语气 第一部分、情态动词 一、can/could 与 be able to 1．can/could 用来表示“一般能力”；be able to 有多种时态，且用来表示在特定条件下的“具体能 力”。如： My grandma is over seventy，but she can still read without glasses. They will be able to tell you the news soon. He was able to flee Europe before the war broke out. 2．表示允许可用 can 或 could，与 may/might 意义接近。could 可用于现在时，只是语气更加委婉、 客气，回答时则一般要用 can 而不用 could。 —Could I have the television on? —Yes，you can./No，you can't. 二、may 与 might 1．表示允许，意为“可以，许可”，用法基本上同 can 与 could。如： May I use your bicycle? 2．表示可能性，意为“也许，可能”。如： According to the weather forecast, it may rain tomorrow. 3．may 可以放在句首，表示祝愿。如： May good luck be yours! 三、must 与 have to 1．must 用来表示说话人的主观看法；have to 表示客观的需要，强调外界压力，不得已而为之。如： He said that they must work hard。 他说他们必须努力工作。(主观上要做这件事) My brother was ill, so I had to call the doctor in the middle of the night. 我弟弟生病了，我只得半夜里把医生请来。(客观上需要做这件事) 2．表示“不必”，须用 don't have to 或 needn't。must 的否定式表示“禁止，绝对不可”。如： You don't have to tell him about it. 你不必告诉他那件事。 You mustn't tell him about it. 你绝不能告诉他那件事。 —Must we do it now? 我们必须现在做吗？ —No, you needn't. 不，你们不必。 四、shall 1．用于第一、第三人称的疑问句中，用来征求对方的意见或请求指示。如： What shall he do next? 他下一步干什么呢？ 2．用于第二、第三人称的陈述句中，表示说话人的意愿，有“命令、警告、允诺、威胁、强制”等意 思。如： He shall stay in bed. 他必须躺在床上。 You shall have it back next week. 下周一定还你。 He says he won't go, but I say he shall. 他说他不去，但我说他必须去。 五、will 与 would 1．will 用于各种人称，表示“意志、意愿”或“决心”等。如： If you will keep your watch half an hour slow, it is hardly surprising that you are late for your appointments. 如果你想要让你的表慢半个小时，你约会时迟到就不足为怪了。 2．will 表示习惯性的动作，有“总是，惯于”的含义。如： An Englishman will usually show you the way in the street. 英国人通常是会在街上给你指路的。 3．would 可表示过去反复发生的动作。如： On Sundays he would get up early and go fishing. 星期天他总是早起去钓鱼。 六、should 与 ought to 1．should 表示“建议”或“劝告”，有“应该”之意。如： You should learn from each other. 2．ought to 表示根据某种义务或必要“应当”做某事。如： Everyone ought to obey the traffic regulations. 3．should 和 ought to 也可用来表示推测，意为“想必会……”。如： —When can I come for the photos? I need them tomorrow afternoon. —They should be ready by 12 00. 七、情态动词表示推测 1．can 用于肯定句中表示客观的可能性，意为“有时会”；用于疑问句中可以表示推测，意为“可能”， 有时表示一种惊讶的语气；用于否定句中也可以表示推测，can't 意为“不可能”，语气很强烈。 It is usually warm in my hometown in March, but it can be rather cold sometimes. 我的家乡在三月份通常很暖和，但有时候也会相当冷。 Mr. Bush is on time for everything. How can it be that he was late for the meeting? 布什先生做什么事情都很准时，他怎么可能开会迟到呢？ —Let's visit Tom together, Stephen. —There's no need to do so. He can't be at home, because I saw him board the flight to Beijing this morning. ——Stephen，咱们一起拜访汤姆吧。 ——没必要这样做。他一定不在家，因为今天早晨我看见他登上了飞往北京的航班。 2．may/might 用于肯定句中可以用来表示不十分肯定的推测，意为“有可能”；用于否定句中也可以 表示推测，may not 意为“可能不”，表示一种不太确定的语气。 The traffic is heavy these days. I might arrive a bit late, so could you save me a place? 这些天交通很繁忙，我可能会来晚一点，请你帮我保留个位置好吗？ 3．must 表示推测时只能用于肯定句中，意为“一定，必定”，表示十分肯定的语气(在疑问句中或否 定句中要用 can/could)。 —It's the office! So you must know eating is not allowed here. —Oh, sorry. ——这是办公室！所以你一定知道这里不许吃东西。 ——噢，对不起。 4．should 用来表示推测时意为“应该”，即含有“按道理来说应当如此”的意思。 There shouldn't be any difficulty about passing the road test since you have practiced a lot in the driving school. 因为你在驾校训练了这么多，通过路考应该没什么困难。 八、“情态动词＋have done”结构 1．should/ought to＋have done，表示“过去本应该做而(实际)没有做的事情”，含有责备或遗憾的 语气，意为“本应该……”。其否定形式为“should not/ought not to have＋done”，表示某种行为本 不该发生但实际上发生了。 I shouldn't have watched that movie—it'll give me horrible dreams. 我本不应该看那部电影——它会令我做噩梦。 You ought to have come to the party yesterday, but why didn't you come? 昨天你本来应该参加聚会的，可是你为什么不来？ 2．must＋have done，用于肯定句，表示“过去一定做过某事”，表示一种很有把握的推测。注意， 对过去发生的情况的否定推测常用“can't/couldn't＋have done”表示。 —Ye Shiwen won two gold medals in London Olympic Games. —She must have gone through tough training. ——叶诗文在伦敦奥运会获得了两枚金牌。 ——她肯定受到严格的训练。 —Do you know where David is? I couldn't find him anywhere. —Well. He can't have gone far—his coat's still here. ——你知道大卫在哪里吗？我到处找不到他。 ——大卫的上衣还在这里，因此他肯定没走远。 3．needn't＋have done，表示“过去没有必要做某事，但实际上做了某事”。 Mark needn't have hurried. After driving at top speed, he arrived half an hour early. 马克本没必要那么匆忙。他以最快速度开车，结果早到了半个小时。 4．may/might＋have done，表示对过去情况的一种不太有把握的可能性的推测，表示“可能已做了某 事……”，否定句表示“可能还没有……”。 Sorry, I'm late. I might have turned off the alarm clock and gone back to sleep again. 对不起，我迟到了。我可能把闹钟关掉后又睡着了。 5．could＋have done 表示“过去本来可以做某事，但实际上没有做”；can/could＋have done 表示 “过去可能做了某件事”。 I could have saved the poor rabbit, but I didn't have the right drugs with me at that moment. 我本来可以拯救那只可怜的兔子的，可是我当时没有合适的药品。 第二部分、虚拟语气 一、虚拟语气在虚拟条件句中的用法 虚拟情况 从句谓语 主句谓语 例句 与现在事 实相反 过去式 (be 用 were) would/ should/ could/might do If he were here, he might be able to help. What would you do if you were in his place？ 与 过 去 事 实相反 had done would/ should/ could/migh t have done If I had started a little earlier, I would have caught the train. I could have done it better if I had been more careful. 与 将 来 事 实相反 过去式 were to do/ should do would/ should/ could/migh t do If I were to do it, I would do it in a different way. I would certainly go if I had time. 1.在具体运用中，条件从句中有时可省略 if 而采用倒装结构。如： Had it not been for your help, we wouldn't have achieved so much. 2．介词 without/but for、连词 but、副词 otherwise 常用来表示某种假设条件。如： I wouldn't have made such rapid progress without your help. 3．有时候从句动作和主句动作发生的时间不一致，这时谓语动词的形式要根据各自的时间来调整。如： If the weather had been more favourable, the crops would be growing still better. 二、“should＋动词原形”表示的虚拟语气 这一类型常见词有“一坚持(insist)、二命令(order, command)、三建议(advise, suggest, propose)、 四要求(request, require, demand, desire)”。以上词及其派生名词所接的名词性从句都使用“(should ＋)动词原形”的虚拟语气。 ①Jane's pale face suggested that she was ill, and her mother suggested that she(should) have a medical examination. 简苍白的脸色表明她病了，她母亲建议她去检查身体。 ②She insisted that the man had stolen her car and that he(should) be sent to prison. 她坚持说那个男人偷了她的车，并坚决要求他坐牢。 三、特殊句式中的虚拟语气 If only/It's (high) time (that)．.. wish/would rather/as if 等固定句式要求用相应的虚拟语气表达形式。 ①I wish I could fly. 真希望我能飞。 ②I would rather you came tomorrow. 我宁愿你明天来。 ③If only I had taken your advice! 要是听从了你的建议该多好啊！ 高频考点一、考查情态动词 例 1．（2018·北京卷）In today’s information age, the loss of data _________ cause serious problems for a company.
