(1)It might help a little if only you would keep clean. 你只要愿意保持清洁,可能就会好一些。
(2)If you left at ten, you should arrive in time. 你如十点动身,你就会及时到达。(should意味着可能)
(3)I couldn't be angry with him if I tried. 我即使想生他的气,也做不到。
(4)If I hadn't warned you, you could have been killed. 我如不是警告了你,你就可能丧命了。
(5)If he were wise, he should have come to see me. 他如若聪明,就应该来见我。
[注]在I should not take this medicine, if it would upset you.(如果此药使你感到不适,那我也不用它了)一句中,if从句之后省去了另一if从句,即if you took it,所以would在此是助动词,而不是情态动词。
情态动词may(might)是一种特殊的虚拟语气,它可以用在从句中表目的、让步。如:
(6)I must learn English well so that I may serve the people better. 我必须学好英语,以便更好地为人民服务。(非正式文体用can)
(7)He died in order that others might be saved. 他为了拯救别人而死。(非正式文体用could)
在让步从句中多用may.如:
(8)We must observe the customs of the country, whatever they may be. 不论怎样,我们都必须遵守本国的习俗。
(9)However hard it may rain, we shall have to go. 不论雨多大,我们都得走。
may还可以用在独立句中表祝愿。如:
(10)May you be happy! 愿你幸福!
(11)Long may you live! 愿你长寿!
