第017句

If I were in a movie, then it would be about time that I buried my head in my hands for a cry.

译文：如果我是在演电影的话，该是我抱头痛哭的时候了。

点睛：本句包含虚拟条件句和it's（high/about）time that...两个虚拟句式。条件状语从句的谓语用were，表示与现在事实相反的假设，主句相应采用了过去将来时。在it's( high/about) time that...的句式中，that引导的从句通常用一般过去时，表示一种虚拟概念。

考点归纳：虚拟条件句在考试中经常涉及，现将其用法归纳如下：

*对现在事实相反的虚拟：if条件从句用一般过去时，主句用should/would+动词原形。

If they were here, they would help you.
如果他们在这儿，就会帮你。

*对过去事实的虚拟：if条件从句用过去完成时，

主句用should/would have+过去分词。
If he had worked harder, he would have passed the exam.
如果他当时更加努力地学习，他就会通过考试了。

*对将来的虚拟：若if条件从句用一般过去时，则主句用should+动词原形；

If you succeeded, everything should be all right.
如果你成功了，一切就都好了。

*若if条件从句用were十不定式，则主句用would+动词原形；

If you were to succeed, everything would be all right.
如果你成功了，一切就都好了。

*若if条件从句用should+动词原形，则主句用would+动词原形。

If you should succeed, everything would be all right.
如果你成功了，一切就都好了。
