一般目前時中,動詞come為何沒用comes單數呢?
If you cherish our supreme court, if you cherish the separation of powers, you need to reject the Biden Harris ticket,
come November the 3rd re-elect president Donal Trump, and well stand by that separation powers in a nine seats.
其中,為何是come November the 3rd...如此一種倒裝結構,為何不是comes呢?
先看二個詞典例句:
The days will be longer when springcomes. =Comespring the days will be longer.
Shell be back in schoolcomeSeptember. = Shell be back in school when Septembercomes.
即Come spring= When spring comes
when引導時間狀語從句表示以后時間時,現代英語用一般目前時表示以后。但在早期英語中,when時間從句描述的并非事實,而是設想春季到來,所以從句不需要陳述語氣,而用動詞原型式虛擬語氣表示when從句說的還不是事實:when spring come。此時可以省略連詞when,而把虛擬語氣動詞形式come倒裝于主語前,形成Come spring。come是虛擬語氣形式。這是古體使用方法。你理解時把它理解成現代英語的 when spring comes即可。
你的句子可以改寫如下:
When November the 3rd comes, re-elect president Donal Trump, and well stand by that separation powers in a nine seats.
