will与would用法完全归纳
4. 用于提出想法
would有时用于提出想法,通常与like, love, hate, prefer, be glad, be happy等连用。如:
I would like to make a suggestion. 我想提一个建议。
I’d love to have a room of my own. 我想有一个自己的房间。
I’d hate to disturb him if he’s busy. 如果他忙,我就不想打扰他了。
I’d prefer to go by bike. 我想骑自行车去。
若用于第一人称有时也可将would换成should。如:
I should be glad to talk to him. 我会高兴和他谈谈。
I should like to give him a chance. 我愿意给他一个机会。
注意,这样用的would习惯上不能换成will。
5. 表示习惯或倾向
will和would均可用于表示习惯或倾向——既可指某人特有的习惯,也可指事物的自然倾向。其中will表示现在的习惯,would表示过去的习惯。如:
Water will boil at 100C. 水到摄氏100就会沸腾。
He will always complain if he gets the opportunity. 他一有机会总要抱怨。
When we were students we would often stay up all night. 我们当学生时,经常通宵不睡。
I planted a vine last year, but it wouldn’t grow because it didn’t get enough sun. 去年我种了一棵葡萄,但它因阳光不足没有长大。
有时,也用于谈论某人令人不耐烦的习惯或倾向。如:
That’s just like him—he would lose his keys! 他就是这样,老丢钥匙!
Harriet will keep leaving her things all over the floor. 哈丽特总是把她的东西扔得满地都是。
6. 表示推测
will和would都可用于表示推测——will用于谈论现在;would用于谈论过去,但也可用于谈论现在,只是语气比较委婉、比较不确定。如:
He will be waiting downstairs now. 他现在应该在楼下等吧!
You’ll be Dr. Livingston, I presume? 我猜您就是李温斯顿博士吧?
You wouldn’t tell anyone, would you? 你不会告诉别人的,对吧?
That would be the watch you are looking for. 那大概是你在寻找的手表吧。
有时可后接完成式,表示对过去可能已经发生的情况进行推测。如:
You will have heard the news, I think? 我想,你已经听到那个新闻了吧?
I thought you would have finished it by now. 我想你现在可能已经做完了吧。
