※ 引述《ziew0805 (ziew)》之铭言： : 题目在此 : She cried so hard as if it were the end of the world. : 此句後面的were 要怎麽解释 因为前面动词是过去式cried 理因来说小朋友们都认为应该 : 要用had been the end of the world 而 : 不是过去式 were the end of the world : 以及下面这一句 : The fortune-teller looked at me as if he were able to read my mind. : 这一句也是假设语气但前後时态却一样 : 虽然语感上知道後面要用were able to : 不过小朋友们还是觉得前面过去 後面应该要过去完成 had been able : 请问遇到这种情况要怎麽解释 呜呜 参考PEU 3rd. edition https://i.imgur.com/2L1qLdX.png 值得注意的是第一点後半部： They can also be used to talk about things which we know are not true. 例： I feel as if/though I'm dying. She was acting as if/though she was in charge 这两个例句都表示「非事实」，但时态并没有「退後一步」。 再搭配底下第二点： When we talk about things which we know are not true, we can use a past tense with a present meaning after "as if/though". This emphasises the meaning of unreality. 它说we "can" use a past tense ...，因此我认为这表示「可以」，但不强制。 综合上述，我认为"as if/though"表示「非事实」时，後面的时态要不要「退後一步」 应该都可以。 若有错误还请指正。谢谢！ ---------- 再参考 https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/threads/263702-as-if-as-though --
