以as if (as though)引导的方式状语从句或表语从句,有时用虚拟语气,若表示与现在事实相反,谓语动词用一般过去时;若表示与过去事实相反,用过去完成时;表示将来的可能性不大,用would (might, could)+动词原形。如:
I love you as if you were my son. 我爱你就像你是我的儿子。
When a pencil is partly in a glass of water, it looks as if it were broken. 当把一支铅笔的一部分放在一杯水里时, 它看起来好像折断了似的。
注:有时虚拟语气并不明显(特别是主句动词为过去时时)。如:
He paused as though he found a difficulty. 他停了下来,仿佛遇到什么困难似的。
若从句所表示的内容为事实或可能为事实,也可用陈述语气。如:
It seemed as though he didn't recognize me.
