as if/as though都是「好像」的意思,引導的表語從句或狀語從句常用虛擬語氣。
1.如果從句表示與現在事實相反,謂語動詞用一般過去時。請看例句:
Don't handle the vase as if it were made of steel.
不要這麼拿著這個花瓶,就好像它是鋼製成的。(與現在的事實相反,注意在虛擬語氣中只用were不用was)
2.表示與過去事實相反,謂語動詞用had done,請看例句:
She talked about the novel as though she had really read it.
她談論那部小說就好像她確實看過一樣。(與過去的事實相反)
3.表示與將來事實相反,謂語動詞用would/might/could+動詞原形 請看例句
It looks as it might rain.(as if 引導表語從句,與將來事實相反。)
學習了上面的語法知識,我們來試著做下面這個題目:
It was John who broke the window. Why are talking to me as if I____(do)it?
