上篇講完現在的/將來的「進行式」非事實條件句,今次開始講過去的Past Subjunctive Progressive Conditional了。其實,演變的基本原理是一樣的。
〈句式演變原理〉:
過去的「非事實Subjunctive」條件句 + *〈進行式〉子句*改動
溫習: 如需重溫,可【按此: 過去的事實/非事實條件句】
用法: 講出 過去的「反事實」,並用「進行式」將條件部份〈圖象化/場景化〉。
演變前: 「過去的 Subjunctive Conditional」句式
句式:
|
|
If … 過去完成式 … , | … would have + ved (過去分詞) … (could have /should have /might have +Ved 也行) |
條件子句 | 主句 |
例句:
【過去虛擬】
If I had talked(過去完成式) to Keith like you did, I would have punched (would have + ved) him into his face.
如果換作是我跟Keith談,我會一拳打到他的面上! (當時事實上是你跟他談。我在「馬後炮」!)
演變後: 「過去的 Subjunctive Progressive Conditional」句式
句式: |
|
If … 過去完成*進行*式 … , | … would have + ved (過去分詞) … (could have /should have /might have +Ved 也行)
|
條件子句 | 主句 |
例句:
【過去虛擬– 場景/圖象化】
If I had been talking to (過去完成*進行*) Keith like you did, I would have punched him into his face.
如果換作是我跟Keith在談(場景化),我會一拳打到他的面上! (用進行式給聽眾一個「圖象畫面」!)
另外,如果希望將主句都一起「場景化/畫面化」,可以連主句都以「進行式」表達。
If I had been talking to (過去完成*進行*) Keith like you did, I would have been punching (主句加*進行*) him into his face.
這樣,【兜鎚窩面】(廣東話: 即一拳鎚在你面上),就使人感覺像看漫畫般了!

更多例句:
例句1 (過去的〈非事實〉):
If I had not been stopping (過去完成*進行*) to greet you, the suddenly dashing car would have hit (would have + ved)onto me!
如果不是停下來跟你打招呼,那架突然飛過來的車定撞在我身上!
= If I had not been stopping (過去完成*進行*) to greet you, the suddenly dashing car would have been hitting (would have + been Ving)onto me!
如果不是停下來跟你打招呼,那架突然飛過來的車定正撞著我身了! (更具「場景化/圖象化」!)
例句2 (過去的〈非事實〉):
If you had been going to (過去完成*進行*) the blind date party, I am sure he would have hit on(would have + ved) you!
如果昨晚你也在相親派會,我敢肯定他一定會來搭訕你。(馬後炮!)
= If you had been going to (過去完成*進行*) the blind date party, I am sure he would have been hitting on(would have + been Ving) you!
如果昨晚你也在相親派會,我敢肯定他一定會在搭訕你。(更具「場景化/圖象化」的馬後炮!)
(Voca: blind date 相親聚會(之前沒見過面那種)/ hit on 搭訕)
