本句涉及一特殊句型的虚拟语气形式。动词be, intend, mean, plan, want, hope等的过去完成式加动词不定式或这些词的过去式加动词不定式的完成时也可视为虚拟语气结构，表示“过去想做而没有做的事”。
35. A
译文：疯子被关进墙上装有衬垫的病房，以防他自杀。
本句涉及连词lest 引导的虚拟语气的用法。连接词in case, lest, for fear that 可用来引导虚拟语气。其形式通常为:“… lest (in case, for fear that) +主语+should+动词原形”。lest, for fear that句中的should 可以省去，in case 句中的should 通常不省去，但是in case 句中可以不用虚拟语气，而用陈述语气。lest, for fear that 后面也可以接其他形式。
36. A
译文：埃德加怒气冲冲地对老板说：“你太自私了。你也该想想你到底有什么了不起。”
本句涉及一特殊句型中的虚拟语气。在“It is (high / about ) time (that)…”句型中要求用虚拟语气形式，从句中常用过去式，意为“该是… … 的时候了”。例如：
It is time (that) we had classes. 我们该上课了。
It is high time (that) the weather improved. 天气真该好起来了。 |
