三、重点句型
1.They cannot afford to consult a doctor or purchase medicines from a chemist when they get sick, nor can they make sure that their children keep a healthy diet.
当他们生病时,既无钱就医也买不起药品,他们也不能保证他们的孩子有营养全面的饮食。
“neither /nor+倒装句”,即“neither/nor+系动词/情态动词/助动词+主语”表示与前面所陈述的动作或情况有着相同的否定概念。
①前后主语不同,谓语相同,承前省略谓语。
I won’t go to the party, nor/neither will she.
我不会去参加聚会,她也不去。
②前后主语相同,谓语不同,谓语不能省略。
I can’ t speak French, nor do I understand it.
我不会说法语,也不懂法语。
either 表达“也不……”时,用在一个否定句的句末,此句从形式到意义都否定,即在该句中有否定意义的词,
如:
no, nobody, none, no one, not never.
neither/nor用在一个倒装句的句首,该倒装句形式肯定,而意义否定,即助动词/系动词/情态动词不再和否定的词连用。
提点迷津:“neither+倒装句”只能用于两个主语或两种情形的“后者同前者一样不……” ;“nor+倒装句”可以用于两者,也可以用于三者及以上情形或主语。
2.If low瞚ncome families cannot afford to purchase medical insurance, as was the case with Wang Lin, other measures to reduce poverty will not succeed.

in any case 假使;免得,以防万一
in no case 决不 in the case of 就……来说;至于……
3.Many happy hours had she spent, planning for something nice for him.
她花费了很多时间来为他准备一件好礼物。
此句正常语序为:She had spent many happy hours planning for something nice for him.
spend time/money on sth ./(in)doing sth .花费时间(金钱)干某事。
How much have you spent on this book?
He spends all day writing
四、语法复习
虚拟语气(Ⅱ)
(1)虚拟语气在主语从句中的用法
在“It is important( strange, natural, necessary) that…”这类句型里,that所引导的主语从句中的谓语动词常用“should+动词原形”结构,表示某事是“重要”、“奇怪”、“自然”、“必要”等意义。
如:
It is important that every member(should)inform himself of these rules.重要的是每个成员知道这些规则。
It is necessary that he(should) be set there at once.有必要马上派他到那里去。
It is decided (has been decided) that the meeting (should) be postponed till tomorrow.已决定会议延期到明天。
It is very strange that she (should) have left without saying goodbye.她不辞而别。真让人奇怪。
(2)虚拟语气在宾浯从句中的用法
①动词wish后的宾语从句中
表示与现在或过去的事实相反,或对将来的主观愿望,从句通常省略连词that。
1)表示对现在情况的虚拟:从句动词用过去式或过去进行式(be动词一般用were)。
如:
I wish I knew the answer to the question.我希望知道这个问题的答案。(可惜不知道)
I wish it were autumn in Beijing all the year round.但愿北京全年是秋天。(只是愿望。实际根本不可能实现。)
She wishes she were still living with her grandmother.她希望仍和祖母住在一起。(实际不住在 起)
2)表示对过去情况的虚拟:从句动词常用“had+过去分词”。
如:
I wish (wished) I hadn?t spent so much money.我后悔不该花那么多钱。(实际上已经花掉)
He wishes (wished) he had not lost the chance.他真希望没有失去机会。(事实上机会已失去了,他感到惋惜。)
3)表示对将来的主观愿望:从句动词形式为“would十动词原形”。此时要注意,主句的主语与从句的主语不能相同,因为主句的主语所期望的从句动作能否实现,取决于从句主语的态度或意愿(非动物名词除外)。
如:
I wish it would stop raining.但愿雨能停止。
I wish you would come soon.但愿你立刻来。
suggest(建议), demand, order, propose, insist(坚持), command, request, desire等动词后的宾语从句中
谓语动词用“should+动词原形”,表示建议、要求、命令等。
如:
I suggest that we (should) set off at once.我建议我们马上动身。
I demand that he (should) answer me immediately.我要求他立刻答复我。
The students insisted that they (should) have more English classes.
学生们坚持要多上英语课。
(3)虚拟语气在状语从句中的用法
①在带有even if/even though引导的让步状语从句的主从复合句中
主句和从句都用虚拟语气,动词形式与含有非真实条件句的虚拟语气相同。
如:
Even if Lin Tao were here,I should say the same thing. 即使林涛在这儿,我也要这样说。
Even though he had been ill,he would have gone to his office.即使生了病,他仍去办公室。
注:当从句由though/although引导时,主句常用陈述语气,从句可用也可不用虚拟浯气。
如:
This gave rue some faint hopes of relief, although I were (was) not able to imagine how it could be brought out.这给了我一丝解救的希望,但我想像不出如何实现。
②由as if或as though引导的状语从句表示比较或方式时
从句渭语形式为动词的过去式(be用were)或“had+过去分词”。
如:
He treats me as if I were a stranger.他那样对待我,好像我是陌生人似的。
She talked about the film as if she had really seen it.
她谈论那部影片,就好像她确实看过一样。
注:姐果表示的事情可能会发生,那么方式状语从句中的谓语动词可用陈述语气。
③在in order that或so that引导的目的状语从句中
谓语动词多用“couht/might(有时电用should)+动词原形”。
如:
Mr. Green spoke slowly so that his students could/might hear clearly.
格林先生说得很慢,好让学生听清楚。
They are climbing higher in order that they might/could get a better view.
他们正往更高处爬,以便看得更清楚。
在in case,for fear(that),lest等引导的从句中,谓语动词用“should+动词原形”。
如:
She took her raincoat with her in case/for fear that/lest she (should) be caught in the rain.她带了雨衣,以免遭雨淋。
