Understand and construct理解并组织

If the messenger arrives, we shall guard the gate.信使若到达,我们就将守卫城门。

Vocabulary词汇

  • sī: if / 如果
  • nūntius, -ī m.: messenger / 信使
  • veniō; vēnerit here: will have arrived / 此处为将来到达
  • custōdiēmus: we shall guard / 我们将守卫
  • maneō; manēbimus: we shall remain / 我们将留下

Build the construction组织结构

  1. Place the arrival under sī.把到达放在 sī 引入的条件句中。
  2. Use future perfect vēnerit to put the arrival before the future guarding.用将来完成时 vēnerit 表示到达先于将来的守卫。
  3. Use future custōdiēmus in the conclusion.结果句用将来时 custōdiēmus。

Compare your choices比较你的选择

Read one possible answer and its reasoning查看一种可能的例答及解释

Sī nūntius vēnerit, portam custōdiēmus.

English if he arrives uses a present form for future reference. This model makes Latin anteriority explicit with vēnerit. Its spelling can also be a perfect subjunctive in other contexts; the whole sentence identifies its use here.英语 if he arrives 用现在形式指将来。本例用 vēnerit 明确拉丁语的先后关系。这一拼写在别处也可为完成时虚拟式;此处须根据全句辨认。

An if-clause is a supposition. Neither sī nor an indicative form independently proves that its event occurred. The exercises state the contrary facts explicitly.如果从句提出假设。Sī 或直陈式本身都不独立证明事件发生过。练习明确说明相反的事实。

This is an authored example; other answers may preserve the intended meaning and fit the context.此为编写示例;其他答案也可能保留预期意义,并符合语境。

Change one choice, then connect the choices改变一项选择,再把选择连接起来

Negate the condition with nōn.用 nōn 否定条件。
Compare with one possible answer与一种可能的答案比较

Sī nūntius nōn vēnerit, hīc manēbimus.

Nōn negates the arrival, not the decision to remain. Vēnerit is future perfect in this future sequence.Nōn 否定到达,不否定留下的决定。Vēnerit 在这一将来序列中是将来完成时。

Variation 2变化练习 2

If the messenger were here now (he is not), we would be guarding the gate.信使现在若在这里(实际上不在),我们就会正在守卫城门。

Show a hint查看提示
Use imperfect subjunctives for the stated unreal present.所述未实现的现在用未完成时虚拟式。
Compare with one possible answer与一种可能的答案比较

Sī nūntius hīc adesset, portam custōdīrēmus.

Adesset and custōdīrēmus express the stated unreal present; the English parenthesis establishes that the messenger is absent.Adesset 与 custōdīrēmus 表达所述未实现的现在;英语括注说明信使不在。

Variation 3变化练习 3

If the messenger had arrived (he did not), we would have guarded the gate.信使若曾到达(实际上没有),我们就会守卫过城门。

Show a hint查看提示
Use pluperfect subjunctives in both clauses.两句均用过去完成时虚拟式。
Compare with one possible answer与一种可能的答案比较

Sī nūntius vēnisset, portam custōdīvissemus.

Vēnisset and custōdīvissemus locate this unreal condition and its consequence in the past.Vēnisset 与 custōdīvissemus 把未实现条件及结果放在过去。
