Question

Yesterday, Jane walked away from the discussion. Otherwise, she ______something she would regret later.

A. had said??????? B. saidC. might sayD. might have said

 

Answer 1

【答案】

D

【解析】试题分析：句意：昨天Jane走开了没有参加讨论。否则的话，她可能会说出一些她以后后悔不迭的话出来。

这里otherwise翻译为“否则”，= If she hadn't walked away from the discussion,其后的句子经常会使用虚拟语气。其句子结构等同于if引导的条件状语从句虚拟语气中主句的结构变化。即：如果是对现在/将来情况的虚拟，句子谓语使用“would/could/might do sth”。如果是对过去情况的虚拟，句子谓语使用“would/could/might have done sth”。所以选D。

考点：考查含蓄的虚拟语气
