as though it were还是as though it was?
句子:The president brushed all this aside as though it were cobweb,ignoring it,answering only extreme necessity he was compelled to answer.
请问这句话为什么是as though it were,却不能是as though it was或者as if it was呢?
因为,as though是虚拟语气的提示词
在严谨的英式英语里,虚拟语气中的is,am,要变成were,在美语里也可以用was
另外,as though =as if,这个区别不大
仔细看了第二遍,这里还不是虚拟,这里就是主谓一致,主语是指的all
再问: were前面接的是it呀,如果主语是all那是不是也要讲it改成they呢?
再答: 看第一遍的时候,第一反应是虚拟 看第二遍的时候,有了中文做干扰,认为as though 是比喻 现在看来,如果用it 就是虚拟,如果是they,就是比喻,后面的ignoring it也是这样
