Ask & Learn聞問切英語口語:Conditional Sentence

讀者 Dean 還問了別的問題，現(xiàn)在繼續(xù)回答。他問以下哪一句是對的？

1. I would not have failed the exam if I had had three kids to take care of.

2. I would not have failed the exam if I had three kids to take care of.

3. I would have passed the exam if I had not had three kids to take care of.

從文法上來說，第二句是錯的。因為以條件式句子（conditional sentence）去表達未能達成的目標時，假設(shè)性條件的從屬子句應(yīng)采用過去完成時態(tài)而非簡單過去時態(tài)。所以應(yīng)改寫成 "if I had had three kids to take care of"。

第一和第三句文法完全沒有問題。但由于不清楚 Dean 想表達的意思，所以不能判斷哪一句是 Dean 需要的。我們試把這兩句翻譯出來：

1. 如果我要照顧三個孩子，我考試就不會不及格。

3. 如果我不用照顧三個孩子，我考試就會及格。

按照常理，第一句有點不知所云，Dean 所想的應(yīng)該是第三句。
