条件句类型(3)
if从句中的动词用过去完成时,主句中的动词用条件完成时。这种句子所指的时间是过去;所提出的条件是不可能实现的,因为if从句中的动作在过去并未发生。
If I had known 1 that you were coming I would have met you at the air-port.
要是我早知道你要来的话,我就会在机场接你了。(但我不知道,所以我也没去。)
If he had tried to leave the country he would have been stopped at the frontier 2.
要是他当时试图离开这个国家,他就会在边界被阻拦。(但他并未这样做。)
