I applied to join the club, but they won’t accept me.
请问专家:这句话的时态有问题吗?为什么前面用一般过去时,而后面用一般将来时?
网友的这个问题,实际是两个并列分句时态不一致的问题。
这很正常,因为“我请求加入俱乐部”是过去的一个动作,而“他们不接纳我”是过去、现在、乃至将来的一个情况。所以,造成前后两个分句时态不一致。根据语义需要,这样的例句较为常见:
I told her to clean the window, but she didn’t do it.
I told her to clean the window, but she hasn’t done it.
I told her to clean the window, but she still can’t do it.
I told her to clean the window, but she won’t do it.

回答如下:
以上will not 不是表示将来时态,而是情态动词否定形式表示一种意愿,意思”不愿意“
All right, I'll forgive you..
好吧,我愿意原谅你。
I applied to join the club, but they won’t accept me.
参考译文:我申请加入该俱乐部,但是他们不愿意接受我。
但就算是情态动词,也应该是用 wouldn't 吧,而不是用 won't 吧?
补充回答
I applied to join the club, but they won’t accept me.(表示“过去申请加入该俱乐部”,现在不愿意)
I applied to join the club, but they wouldn't accept me.(表示“过去申请加入该俱乐部”过去不愿意)
