一道专四语法题

__________,if I had arrived yesterday without letting you know beforehand?

A.Would you be surprised

B.Were you suprised

C.Had you been surprised

D.Would you have been surprised

答案是A。 但是为什么不选D呢?不是对过去的一种假设吗?求详解~

答:这题考错综时间虚拟条件句。

真实情况是:I arrived yesterday letting you know beforehand. 我是昨天到的,事先告诉过你的。现在我们见面了,你没有感到讶(You are not surprised)。假如我昨天到了而不给事先告诉你,当我们现在见面的时,你会不会很惊讶呢?主句(问题)问的是现在的情况:

If I had arrived yesterday without letting you know beforehand,woud you be surprised?

如果讲的是过去的情况,当时他并不惊讶,因为我事先告诉他了,则为:

If I had arrived yesterday without letting him know beforehand,he would have been surprised.

当面问的是现在的情况。如果前面有一句话:

You were not surprised when we met just now because I had told you about it before hand.

If I had arrived yesterday without letting him know beforehand,would you have been surprised ?

你刚才会惊讶吗?

所以,是去还是现在,还是为假设过去,主句是现在,还是要去理解体会句子的语境。
