注意:
(1) 在现代英语中,有时也可不用虚拟语气而用陈述语气,但初学者宜慎用。
(2) 在It is amazing (strange, surprising, astonishing, a pity, a shame)以及 I am surprised (sorry) 和I regret等结构后的that 从句中有时也用should,表示说话人的惊异、懊悔、失望等情感,常含有“竟然”之意:
It's strange that he should be so rude. 他竟如此无礼,真是奇怪。
I'm surprised that he should have failed. 他竟然失败了,这使我很吃惊。
若不用虚拟语气也可以,则不带感情 色彩,比较:
It's a pity that he failed the exam. 他考试没及格,真是遗憾。
It's a pity that he should have failed the exam. 他考试竟没及格,真是遗憾。
