助動詞・仮定法

 助動詞・仮定法
☆ 助 動 詞 の 基 本
助動詞は動詞の前に置かれ、自動的に動詞を原型にする。
動詞に話者・作者の意思を付け加える働きをする。
基本的に意味は2つ
① 推 量 (可 能 は 推 量 の 一 種 と 考 え る )
② 許可・命令
否定するには助動詞の後ろに not をつける。to V を利用した助動詞(ought to V, used to
V など)の場合は not は to の直前に置く。
助動詞の後ろは現形になるため、時制を現すことはこのままではできない。そこで
過去の意味を表すには
助 動 詞 + V 原型 → 助 動 詞 + have+ V p.p.
このとき意味は過 去 の 推 量 になる(許可、命令は未来に向けて発信するものだから過去の
意味はない)例外は should +have+Vp.p.このとき「Vすべきだったのに(実際はしてい
ない)」という意味になる
個別に意味をイメージとして整理していこう
must →抗えない圧力 have to V 客観的な義務
may→半分開かれた道<had better 切迫した感じ
can→潜在的な能力・性質
※ 過去に実際できた場合は be able to V が普通
could にすると仮定法的になり「入ろうと思えば入れた」になってしまう。
will→強い意志、傾向<shall (もはや死語)

⑥ 過去推量
⑦ すべきだったのに・・・
★問題
1 It’s really surprising that he should have arrived on time as he is rarely punctual.
※ should 意外、当然
☆ 仮 定 法 と は ?
仮定法の一番大事な点は現実にはないこと(もの)を仮定している点である。
よってこの条件が満たされなければ仮定法とはいえない。
作 り 方
時制を一つ前にずらすことにより非現実性を持たせる。
条 件 節 ( if な ど )
主節
仮定法過去(意味は現在)
☆ 1 動 詞 の 過 去 形
would + V 原型
仮定法過去完了(意味は過去)
had + V p.p.
would + have+ V p.p.
☆1 be 動詞はいかなる主語であっても were がくる。
2
現在のことを仮定する仮定法過去に対し、仮定法過去完了は過去のことを仮定している。
時制を一つ前にずらすには一般的に
① V 現在 or
原型 → have
+ V p.p.
② V 過去 → had + V p.p.
問)仮定法に注意して次の文章を訳してみよう
① If you are free tonight ,I will invite you to a dinner.
② If I were a monkey in the jungle, I would be happy with some banana.
③ I wish I were bird .
④ I wish I had been bird.
⑤ If I had heard the news, I would have been please to be regarded as diligent.
⑥ If I had heard the news, I would be please to be regarded as diligent now.
答え)
① 仮定法ではない
② 仮定法過去
③ I wish は 特 殊 で 条 件 節 の み が 来 る 。仮定法過去
④ 仮定法過去完了 この場合現在において過去を仮定している
⑤ 仮定法過去完了
⑥ 仮定法過去と過去完了の融合形
主 節 は 仮 定 法 過 去( 意 味 は 現 在 )、条 件 節 は 仮 定 法 過 去 完 了( 意 味 は 過 去 )に な っ て
いる。

時制
☆ 時 制 の ル ー ル
筆 者 が 設 定 す る 時 間 は 、 か な ら ず 文 章 中 に 「 時 を 示 す 語 句 」 を 使 っ て 明 示 さ れ る 。
一度設定された時間は、筆者が文中で断らない限り、次の文でも継続される
☆ 「 時 を 示 す 語 句 」 が な い 場 合 、 す べ て 「 現 在 (話 者 ・ 作 者 に と っ て の )」 が 基 本 時
制に設定される
現在形、過去形はその時刻を中心に時間に幅があるのが特徴。ただし、現在を中心に時間
幅が広がっている現在形に対し、過去形は遠くを振り返っている感覚。歴史を述べている
感覚。
対して、英語においては未来形は存在しない。
Will(意思),be going to V(意思), be Ving(予定),現在形(確定的) で代用する。
対して進行形はそのときの時間にスポットライトが当たっている。短期間、躍動感のイメ
ージ。
My brother was dying . (弟は死にかけていた→まだ死んでいない)
× I am having a car. 躍動感は状態動詞では出ない
問1) 正しいものを選ぼう
① I (have lost / lost) my watch.
② Last year I had a driving trip to London. It was great experience ,but I ((have lost /
lost) my watch there.

But I (have been/ was) wrong. He (has been / was)a source of wisdom for me since then.
☆ 完 了 形 い ろ い ろ
4
完了形は時 間 に 流 れ が あ る のが特徴。
完了の終点は
現在完了は現在なので明記の必要なし、過去完了は過去ある時刻、未来完了は未来のある
時刻となるので明記される。
現在完了は過去から現在につながっている。近づいてくるというようなイメージ。
問2) 完了の終点に注意して和訳してみよう
現在完了
① He has been looking for his new lodging for some time.
過去完了
② By last march ,she had remained a violinist of an orchestra for 20 years.
未来完了
③ I will have done the dishes by 4 o’clock.
☆ 時 制 の 一 致
主節の基本時制
従属節の基本時制
時間
主節と同じ時間
主節より前の時間
現在

had+V p.p
※ 普遍の心理、日常の習慣、歴史上の事実などは時制の一致の制約を受けない。
