Thecommander in chief of the army would not have been the right man to rebelagainst Hitler anyway. He admitted that he simply could not cope with Hitler’s demoniacal will and that on occasion he lost his power of speech in Hitler’s presence.
这里的情态动词would是不是是推断使用方法?上面句子中的完成体表示什么样的意义?假如would后是一般体:wouldnot be the right man…与上面的句子在乎思上的不同之处吗?是不是would not have been在时间上指向的是以过去为基础的过去,而would not be只不过指向过去?
期望老师解惑,谢谢!
would 在此是推断性使用方法,would have done是站在目前的立场对过去状况的推断:The commander in chief 可能不是反叛希特勒的最好人选,尽管事实上他已经是叛军的总指挥了。
