1、知识点 as though 的用法归纳as though 的用法归纳【知识点解析知识点解析】as if 与as though 是一组同义词，两者意思相同，用法也相同，常翻译成好像，只是在口语中人们多半会用as if,取其简短。as if/as though 结构中的动词形式通常决定于说话人的语义意图。下文中两者等同试比较：I feel as if I was/were going to faint.(我感觉好像要晕倒了)I feel as if I am going to faint.(我感觉真的就要晕倒了)He walks as if he is drunk.他已经醉了He walks as

2、 if he were drunk.他没有醉It looks as if it is going to rain.快要下雨了It looks as if were going to rain.没下雨as though 的用法归纳【知识点解析知识点解析】这就是说，在某些语境中，如果不表示假设意义，就不必用过去时形式。也就是说，如果as if后面的从句所表示的情况时真实的或很可能时真实的，则动词可以用陈述语气，在feel,look,seem,smell,sound,taste之后尤其如此。例如：Theres Hob,talking to the ticket-collector.It looks

3、as if he hasnt got a platform ticket.那不，霍布正在同检票员说话，看样子还没弄到站台票。It looks as if it is going to rain.It seems as if we will have to go home on foot.You look as if youve been running.你好像刚跑了一阵似的。as though 的用法归纳【知识点解析知识点解析】You look as if you know each other.You have acted as if you like me.The fish smells

6、use.他的样子好像他拥有这个房子。He treats me as if/as though I were a stranger.He speaks as if he were an Englishman.Its not as though he was/were poor.as though 的用法归纳【知识点解析知识点解析】2)谈论过去情形的动词形式有以下几种：a)过去式，表示过去的状态，如：He looked at me as if I were mad.他那样看我，好像我是个疯子。He stood there looking at the train and laughing,as i

7、f to miss a train was the best joke in the world.他站在那里，望着火车哈哈大笑，好像误了火车是天底下最开心的事儿似的。Mr.Coleman always talked as if he knew everything.Holding his head high,he walked past the pole and the soldiers as if they didnt exist.但是，如果状态动词带有持续时间状语，则用过去完成时：They talked as if they had been friends for years.(试比较：

8、They had been friends for years.)Now it is as though she had known Millie for years.as though 的用法归纳【知识点解析知识点解析】情态动词亦用过去时：She felt as though she could hardly endure such a life.她觉得简直无法忍受这样的生活。b)过去完成时，表示过去的动作先于主句动词而发生或完成，如：It was as if he had lost his last friend.“I remember,”she tells her children no

9、w,“how wild his white hair lookedas if it had been electrified.”必须注意的是，在指过去的动作时，即使主句是现在时，as if 从句中的动词也要用过去完成时：You look as if youd seen a ghost.你好像是见了鬼似的。He talks about Rome as though he had been there himself.他讲起罗马的情况来就好像他亲自到过那里似的。as though 的用法归纳【知识点解析知识点解析】c)过去进行时，表示动作正在进行：He heard a noise,as if so

11、The clown looks as if he were ill.那个小丑好像害病似的。（虚拟语气）*The clown looked as if he had been ill.那个小丑过去好像生过病。（过去生过病或虚拟语气）此外，It isnt as if的翻译。如：It isnt as if he were poor.他不像穷的样子(或他又不穷)。It isnt as if you were going away for good.又不是你离开不回来了。as though 的用法归纳【知识点解析知识点解析】2.随着语言的发展，as if后面的从句即使反映的不是事实，也可以不用虚拟语气而

14、to,so we lent him an ear.He sat there smiling like it was his birthday.She started kissing me like we were on our honeymoon.她开始吻我，好像是在度蜜月似的。as though 的用法归纳【知识点解析知识点解析】4.as if和as though从句中的省略当as if和as though从句的主语与主句一致时，该主语和后面的动词可以省略。于是便出现下面几种结构：1)as if+不定式He opened his lips as if(he were)to make some

15、 reply.The bee checked its forward speed,circled and then drifted slowly over the mirror like surface of the pool as if to admire its own reflection.蜜蜂放慢飞行速度，转了几圈儿，然后在清澈如镜的水潭上空慢慢地飘过，似乎要欣赏它自己的倒影。as though 的用法归纳【知识点解析知识点解析】2)不定式+形容词或形容词短语Carrie felt as if unable to endure such a life.嘉莉觉得似乎无法再忍受这种生活了。

18、式与主句的时态相联系。如1993年第10期英语自学中浅谈由as if(as though)和wish引出的虚拟语气就明确指出：“在由as if(as though)引出的表示虚拟语气的方式状语从句中，如果主句的谓语是一般时，那么其从句的谓语一般应该用动词的过去式(be用were)；反之，如果主句的谓语用一般过去时，那么从句谓语一般用“had+过去分词”。这种认为从句动词形式受主句时态制约的观点是不符合语言实际的。实际上，as if和 as though后谓语动词的形式与主句时态无关。本文前面列举的一些例句足以证明这一点，现代英语惯用法词典上也有如下例句：as though 的用法归纳【知识点解

19、析知识点解析】He looks as if he were ill.He looked as if he were ill.He looks as if he had been ill.He looked as if he had been ill.我们在前面也有过类似的例句。下面在提供一些主句用现在时而从句仍用过去完成时的例句：A:Weve been back at work now for three days.我们回来上课到现在已三天了B:I feel as if I had been back for three months.我感到似乎已回来三个月了。（比较：I have been

20、back for three months.）as though 的用法归纳【知识点解析知识点解析】6.as if和as though的功能1)引导方式状语从句 They talked as if they had been friends for years.2)引导表语从句 He looked as if he had just stepped out of my book of fairytales and had passed me like a spirit.3)引导感叹句，表示对某种建议、假定、想象等的反对：As if I cared!好像我很在乎似的！（相当于：I dont ca

21、re!）As if anyone would believe that story!好像人人都会相信那种说法似的！He warned me against associating with people of doubtful character.As if I ever should!他告诫我不要同可疑的人来往，好像我真会那样做似的！as though 的用法归纳【练习练习】1.Eliza remembers everything exactly as though it _ yesterday.A.was happening B.happens C.has happened D.happe

22、ned【答案】D【解析】as if 引导方式状语从句，同时涉及虚拟语气的用法。主从句动作同时发生，对现在假设，从句用一般过去时；若对过去假设则用过去完成时。as if后还可接to dodoing等。如：He opens his mouth as if to speak.他张开嘴好像要说话。as though 的用法归纳【练习练习】2.She had a tense expression on her face,_she were expecting trouble.A.even though B.even as C.as though D.now that【答案】C【解析】as if/as though 似乎，好像。经常表示虚拟语气。even though=even if 即使，引导让步状语从句；even as 正当的时候；as though=as if 好像，似乎；now that=since 既然。这题涉及虚拟语气。本题句意是：她脸部有紧张的表明，好像是准备好了迎接麻烦。
