没有什么硬性规定的“时态呼应”(当然状语从句可能涉及的最基本的“主将从现”仍需注意),主要应根据实际情况来确定适合的时态。如:
He said that he hadn’t seen her since he came back. 他说他回来后一直没见到过她。
If you’re not willing to help me, I’ll find somebody who will. 如果你不愿意帮我,我会去找别人。
If the case succeeds, it is inevitable that other trials will follow. 如果该案胜诉,其他审判必然随之而来。
If I see her, I’ll tell her you’ve been trying to reach her. 如果见到她,我会告诉她你一直在尝试联系她。
He said that my ideas don’t count because I’m only a child! 他说我的主意不算数,因为我只是个孩子!
