一、在动词wish后的宾语从句中的虚拟语气 

在动词wish后的宾语从句中的虚拟语气，常省去宾语从句的引导词that。 

一）、对现在情况的虚拟（与现在的事实相反）： 

从句用过去式或过去进行式(时间上是同时的)。其句子结构为：宾语从句的谓语be和were(was)，实义动词用过去式。例： 

1. I wish (that可省略,下同)I knew the answer to the question.(wish, 动词过去式knew)我希望知道这个答案。(事实上是不知道) 

2. I wish it were spring in my hometown all the year around.(wish, were)但愿我的家乡四季如春。(事实上不可能) 

3. I wish I were a bird.(wish, were)但愿我是只小鸟。(事实上不可能) 

4. When she was at the party, she wished she were at home.(wished,过去虚拟动词were)(事实上并不在家) 

5. Now that he is in China, he wishes he understood Chinese.(wishes,过去虚拟动词understood) 

现在他在中国，他希望能懂得中文。(事实上并不懂) 

6. When we begin the trip, they will wish they were with us.(will wish,过去虚拟动词were)(事实上并不和我们在一起) 

二）、对过去情况的虚拟（和过去的事实相反）： 

用wish表示对过去事情的遗憾。其句子结构为：宾语从句的谓语用过去完成时，或would, could, might+现在完成时。例： 

1. I wish (that可省略，下同)I hadn't wasted so much time. 

我后悔不该浪费这么多时间。(事实上已浪费了) 

2. He wishes he hadn't lost the chance. 

他真希望没有失去机会。(其实已失去) 

3. We wished he had spoken to us. 

(wished，had + spoken)(事实上他并没同我们讲) 

4. I wish you had called earlier. 

(wish, had + called)(事实上已迟了) 

5. They will wish they had listened to us sooner. 

(will wish, had + listened)(事实上并不如此) 

例题分析：I wish I ______ longer this morning, but I had to get up and come to class. 

A. could have slept　B. slept    C. might have slept　D. have slept 

动词wish后面接从句，表达不可能实现或与事实相反的情况时，谓语动词要用虚拟语气，即用过去式（表示现在发生的动作）或过去完成式（表示过去发生的动作）。本题后半句谓语动词have用的是过去时had 

to get up and come, 所以前面要用过去完成时表示过去发生的动作。所以, 选项A)could have slept是答案 

三）、对将来情况的虚拟(表示将来的主观愿望)： 

从句动词"would/should/could/might + 动词原形"(时间上较后)(请注意：主句和从句的主语不相同)。用wish表示对将来事情的愿望。例： 

1. I wish it would stop raining.(虚拟动词would+动词原形stop) 

我希望雨能停止。(事实上雨还在下着呢) 

2. I wish you would be quiet.(would + be) 

我希望你安静一些。(事实上那家伙还在吵着呢) 

3. You wished she would arrive the next day.(would + arrive) 

你希望她第二天会到。(事实上她还没到) 

4. I wish she would change her mind.(would + change) 

我希望她会改变主意。(呵呵，女孩子可没那么容易就改变主意喔) 

5. He will wish we would join him the following week.(would + join) 

(只是希望我们和他在一起，实际上还没在一起) 

四）、注意： 

1.如果将wish改为过去式wished, 其后that 从句中的动词形式不变。例如： 

I wished I hadn't spent so much money. 

我要是那时没有花掉那么多钱就好了。 

2. 如果that 从句中用would , 一般表示对现状不满或希望未来有所改变或请求 

I wish he would answer my letter. 

I wish prices would come down. 

I wish you would help me. 

I wish you would stop asking silly questions. 

二、在表示建议、命令、要求、忠告等动词的后面的宾语从句中的虚拟语气 

由于这些动词本身隐含说话者的主观意见，认为某事应该或不应该怎样，这些词语后面的"that"从句应用虚拟语气，且均以"should+动词原形"表示这种语气，但事实上"should"常被省略，故此从句中谓语动词用原形，常用的此类动词有： 

表示"要求"的：ask, desire, request, demand, require, beg 

表示"提议、劝告、建议"的：move, propose, suggest, recommend, advise, vote 

表示"决定、命令"的：decide, order 

表示"主张"的：maintain, urge 

表示"同意、坚持"的：consent, insist 

例如： 

1.The doctor suggested that he (should) try to lose his weight. 

2.He insisted that we (should ) tell him the news. 

3.When I suggested that he try shaving cream, he said, "The razor and water do the job. "(当我建议他用刮胡膏时，他说"剃刀和水就行了"。) 

4.He pursued various theories for several days until I suggested we take the toy apart to see how it did work. (他费了几天功夫寻找理论根据，直到我建议拆开看看它是如何转动的。) 

5.One can suggest that students should spend two or three years in an Englishspeaking country. (我们建议学生应在说英语的国家呆上两三年。) 

在表示命令、建议、要求等一类动词后面的从句中虚拟语气很普遍，其结构如： 

order, suggest, propose, require, demand, request, insist, command, insist +... (should) do 

6.I suggest that we (should) hold a meeting next week. 

7.He insisted that he (should ) be sent there. 

但注意：在insist 后的从句中, 如果是坚持自己, 用陈述语气, 坚持别人做什么事情, 用虚拟语气. 

8.she insists that she is right. 

9.she insisted that I should finish the work at once. 

或者说，suggest, insist不表示建议或坚持要某人做某事时，即它们用于其本意暗示、表明、坚持认为时，宾语从句用陈述语气。 

10.The guard at gate insisted that everybody obey the rules.

判断改错: 

(错)11.　You pale face suggests that you (should) be ill. 

(对)12.　Your pale face suggests that you are ill. 

(错)13.　I insisted that you ( should) be wrong. 

(对)14.　I insisted that you were wrong. 

例题分析：15.It is politely requested by the hotel management that radios ______ after 11 o'clock at night. 

A. were not played　B. not be played 

C. not to play　D. did not play 

全句意思是："旅馆管理部门恳请客人晚上11点后不要打开收音机"。句中的谓语动词request（请求）所引出的从句应当用虚拟语气，即动词原形或"should＋动词原形"。本句的主语从句中，主语radio是谓语动词play 的客体，谓语应当用被动语态。所以，答案是C) not be played。在上述这类句子中不能用动词过去时形式表示虚拟语气，所以A)不正确。选项B) not to play是动词带to的不定式，不能在句中作谓语。选项D)did not play也是动词play的过去时形式，同样不能在本句中作为虚拟语气来使用。而且，它是主动语态形式，而本题要用被动语态。

［A］the members studied more carefully the problem

［A］that he not work too hard for three months 

［B］take it easy for three months

［D］to take some vacations for three months

三、在expect, believe, think, suspect等动词的否定或疑问形式后的宾语从句中的虚拟语气 

在expect, be
