Beware that it fare not with you as with your predecessor.
fare用动词原形,请问是虚拟语气吗?
beware也可以接虚拟语气?
那样如此的话,所有表示对将来不确定可能的动词,是否都可以接虚拟语气呢?
beware that后接从句用动词原形式虚拟语气为古体。注意not否定是在实意动词后而不是动词前。比如下句主语you的古体形式thou, 否定形式为pass not而不是not pass.
Bewarethatthou pass not such a place.
现代英语则that从句用陈述语气代替动词原型。比如:
Bewarethatthere are no rules on loan terms and interest rates.
Bewarethatthe symbol of access does not assure uniform accessibility, so be prepared for the unexpected.
因此,不可滥用虚拟语气,除非你用很正式的语体,用于非常正式的写作中。
