我这几天查了好多网页,发现prefer和would prefer接宾语从句的虚拟语气有两种形式:
I prefer that he (should) not go to USA.
I prefer that he didn't go to USA.
I would prefer that he didn't go to USA.
I would prefer that he (should) not go to USA.
这四句应该都是正确的?
I prefer that he (should) not go to USA.
此句正确。如:I prefer that you (should) wait here.我希望你在此等候。(摘自《英汉多功能词典》新编升级版)
I prefer that he didn't go to USA.
此句错误。如:In the past men generally preferred that their wives _____
in the home. A. worked B. would work C. work D. were working (全国研考,92-5,答案是 C)
I would prefer that he didn't go to USA.
此句正确。如:Val would presumably prefer that you didn't get arrested.
I would prefer that he (should) not go to USA.
此句正确。
