Section 2 Notes to difficult sentences from Unit 1 Cultural relics1. could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such a strange history. 根本没有想象到他送给俄罗斯人民的礼物会经历如此曲折的历史。主句谓语动词和从句谓语动词都是“虚拟语气”用法。最基本的虚拟语气句型: a虚拟现在时表示与现在事实相反的假设，其if 从句的谓语形式用动词的过去式(be 一般用were)，主句用would/ should/ could/ might +动词原形。If places were a like, there would be little need for geographers. 如果各个地方都一样，就不需要地理学家了。b虚拟过去时是表示与过去事实相反的假设，if 从句的谓语形式用过去完成时即had过去分词，主句用would / should / could / might + have +过去分词。If he had known your address yesterday, he would have telephoned you. c虚拟将来时是表示对将来实现的可能性很小的或不确定的假设。If从句的谓语形式用一般过去式或用were to / should +动词原形，主句用would / should /could/ might +动词原形。If he were to leave today, he would get there by Friday2. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. 琥珀屋设计的思路是当时流行的华丽风格。句中in the fancy style 可以改写为of the fancy style，后者是一种特殊的“(be)+of+名词”结构，其中的名词是抽象名词时,相当于其中名词所对应的形容词的意思, 说明被修饰词具有某种特征或属性。“(be)+of+名词”结构中常用的名词有use/importance/help/value/interest/quality/service/benefit/necessity等。如: I dont want to hear what you are saying. It is of no interest to me. 我不想听你说,我对此不感兴趣。(of no interest=not interesting) Doing morning exercises will be of benefit to your health. 做早操对你的健康有利。Coal is of great importance to the development of industry. 煤对工业发展是相当重要的。(of great importance=very important) 3. In fact，the room was not made to be a gift. 事实上，琥珀屋制作的意图不是礼物。英语中有些动词，若其宾语补足语是不带to 的不定式，变为被动语态时，该不定式前要加to。此类动词为感官动词。feel, hear, help, listen to, look at, make。4. In 1770, the room was completed the way she wanted it. 1770年琥珀屋按照她的设想完成了。the way 前面可以补上一个in，way 的后面可以补个that 。
