B. should 可以省略:Subjunctive

在 A 部分的句型中:

should 可以省略

这时后面的动词使用:

动词原形

这种形式叫:

the subjunctive(虚拟语气 / 假设式)


4. should 省略后的结构

例如:

It’s essential that everyone should be here on time.

可以变成:

It’s essential that everyone be here on time.

注意:

be

不是:

is / are


5. insist

可以说:

这里:

保持动词原形。


6. suggest

7. demand

8. Subjunctive 的核心结构

例如:

普通 should 结构Subjunctive
everyone should beeveryone be
he should apologisehe apologise

something should be donesomething be done

注意:

即使主语是 he / she / it,动词也不加 -s

例如:

不是:

❌ I suggest that he goes.


9. Subjunctive = infinitive without to

图片中的定义:

This form (be / do / apologise etc.) is called the subjunctive.

它的形式和:

infinitive without to

相同。

也就是:

动词原形,不带 to。

例如:

  • be
  • do
  • go
  • apologise
  • eat
  • work

10. 也可以使用普通现在时或过去时

图片中还说明:

You can also use normal present and past forms.

例如:

It’s essential that everyone is here on time.

也可以。

以及:

I insisted that he apologised.

也可以。

所以有时你会看到三种形式:

形式Example
shouldI insisted that he should apologise.
subjunctiveI insisted that he apologise.
normal formI insisted that he apologised.

C. suggest 的特殊规则

11. suggest 后面不能用 somebody + to do

这是这一页非常重要的规则。

不能说:

❌ suggest somebody to do something

例如:

❌ What do you suggest us to do?

是不正确的。


12. suggest 的正确结构 1

suggest + that + 主语 + should + 动词原形

例如:

What do you suggest we should do?

你建议我们应该做什么?


13. suggest 的正确结构 2

也可以省略 should:

suggest + that + 主语 + 动词原形

例如:

What do you suggest we do?


14. Example — Jane won the lottery

Jane won the lottery.

Jane 彩票中奖了。

你可以说:

I suggested that she should buy a car with the money she won.

我建议她用中奖的钱买辆车。

也可以说:

I suggested that she buy a car.

或者:

I suggested that she bought a car.

但是不能说:

❌ I suggested her to buy a car.


15. suggest 的结构总结

正确结构Example
suggest + that + shouldI suggest that she should go.
suggest + that + subjunctiveI suggest that she go.
suggest + normal formI suggested that she went.
suggest + V-ingI suggest going.

错误:

❌ suggest somebody to do


16. suggest + V-ing

还可以使用:

suggest + V-ing

例如:

What do you suggest doing?

你建议做什么?

I suggest waiting until tomorrow.

我建议等到明天。


17. suggest 四种常见形式

结构Example

D. should 用在某些形容词后

18. 常见形容词

should 还可以出现在以下形容词后:

  • strange
  • odd
  • funny
  • typical
  • natural
  • interesting
  • surprised
  • surprising

这时候 should 通常不是:

“应该做”

而是表示:

说话者对某件事感到奇怪、意外、自然等。


19. Example — It’s strange that...

It’s strange that he should be late.

他居然迟到了,这很奇怪。

后面补充:

He’s usually on time.

他平时通常都很准时。

这里:

should be late

不是:

“他应该迟到”

而是:

“居然会迟到 / 竟然迟到了”


20. should 的这种语气

可以理解成:

“竟然 / 居然会……”

例如:

It’s strange that he should say that.

他居然会那么说,真奇怪。

It’s surprising that she should know so much.

她居然知道这么多,真令人惊讶。


21. Example — surprised

I was surprised that he should say such a thing.

我很惊讶他居然会说这种话。

这里的:

should say

不是建议。

而是:

对已经发生的行为表示惊讶。


22. should 在形容词后的中文感觉

English自然中文
It’s strange that he should...他居然……,真奇怪
It’s surprising that...……居然如此,很令人惊讶
It’s natural that...……这样也很自然
It’s odd that...……居然这样,有点奇怪

23. Unit 33 和 Unit 34 的 should 不完全一样

Unit 33 主要是:

should = 应该 / 建议 / 按理说

例如:

You should go to bed.

你应该睡觉。


Unit 34 进一步出现:

语法结构中的 should

例如:

I suggest that he should go.

It’s essential that he should be here.

以及:

It’s strange that he should be late.

所以 should 不一定每次都直接翻译成:

“应该”。


24. 四种 should 的核心感觉

类型Example核心感觉
建议You should go.应该
预期He should arrive soon.按理说
insist/suggest 等结构I suggest that he should go.建议 / 要求
strange/surprising 后It’s strange that he should go.居然 / 竟然

25. insist / demand / recommend / suggest / propose 的共同点

这些动词都有一个共同特点:

不是单纯陈述事实,而是在表达要求、建议、主张。

例如:

I insist that he should apologise.

不是说:

他已经道歉了。

而是:

我要求他去道歉。

所以后面的行为:

不是事实陈述,而是“希望 / 要求发生的行为”。


26. 为什么会出现 subjunctive?

例如:

I suggest that he go.

这里:

go

不是一般现在时。

因为:

一般现在时第三人称应该是 goes

这里保留:

go

就是因为它不是在描述:

“他平时去”。

而是在表达:

“我建议他去。”

所以使用:

subjunctive。


27. 普通事实 vs Subjunctive

对比:

普通事实

He goes to work at eight.

他每天 8 点去上班。

这里:

goes = Present Simple


建议 / 要求

I suggest that he go at eight.

我建议他 8 点去。

这里:

go = Subjunctive


28. he goes vs he go

形式Example含义
he goesI know he goes there.陈述事实
he goI suggest that he go there.建议 / 要求

这是 Subjunctive 最明显的特征之一。


29. be 更容易看出区别

普通形式

He is here.

他在这里。

should

It’s essential that he should be here.

他必须在这里。

Subjunctive

It’s essential that he be here.

这里使用:

be

而不是:

is

这是最明显的虚拟语气形式。


30. should / subjunctive 对照

we should leavewe leave

32. 最重要的结构表

场景结构
insistinsist that + subject + should do
demanddemand that + subject + should do
recommendrecommend that + subject + should do
suggestsuggest that + subject + should do
proposepropose that + subject + should do
important / essential 等adjective + that + subject + should do

33. Subjunctive 版本

上面的 should 都可以变成:

that + subject + 动词原形

例如:

shouldsubjunctive
I suggest that he should go.I suggest that he go.
It’s essential that she should be here.It’s essential that she be here.
They demanded that something should be done.They demanded that something be done.

34. suggest 最容易犯的错误

不要说:

❌ I suggest you to go.

可以说:

✅ I suggest that you go.

✅ I suggest that you should go.

✅ I suggest going.

所以记住:

suggest 后面不使用 object + to do。


35. 一个很实用的判断方法

看到:

  • suggest
  • recommend
  • insist
  • demand
  • propose

先想到:

“这不是在陈述事实,而是在提出一个希望发生的动作。”

因此后面很自然会出现:

should + 动词原形

或者:

subjunctive 动词原形


36. strange + should 的思维

看到:

strange / surprising / odd

后面的 should 不要翻译成:

“应该”

而应该理解:

“居然会……”

例如:

It’s strange that he should leave so early.

自然中文:

他居然这么早就走了,真奇怪。


37. 最终对照表

结构中文思维
You should go.你应该去
I suggest that you should go.我建议你去
I suggest that you go.我建议你去
It’s essential that you be here.你必须在这里
It’s strange that he should be late.他居然迟到了

一句话记忆

insist / demand / recommend / suggest / propose

后面可以:

that + subject + should + 动词原形

也可以:

that + subject + 动词原形

例如:

I suggest that he should go.

I suggest that he go.


important / vital / necessary / essential

同样可以:

It’s essential that he should be here.

或:

It’s essential that he be here.


suggest

特别记:

❌ suggest somebody to do

正确:

suggest that somebody do

suggest that somebody should do

suggest doing


strange / surprising + should

这里的 should 不要理解成“应该”,而是:

“居然 / 竟然会……”

最核心:

SHOULD 可以是“建议”,也可以只是一个语法结构中的标记。
