【英语早间课堂】If S had done, S might have done.

Morning！I am Juliet. Nice to meet you on the air. Hope we could spend a wonderful morning together. An hour in the morning is worth two hours in the evening. 一天之计在于晨，若您有个美好的晨间生活，相信您一天的生活都是美好的。A hard beginning makes a good ending. 常言道：善始善终。

【复习】

Last time we learned¹ a sentence pattern. It is: 【从句】If S had done, 【主句】S could have done. 这个句式是表示说话者对某人或者是某事在过去的一定的条件下本可以发生的事情而没有发生或者是在过去的那一种条件下，本不可能发生的事情发生了。那么在这里想说明一下，本可能发生指的是“本有能力可以做成的事情”，而不是指“可能性”，“或许”这个意思。

【习题答案】

At the end of last programme, I left some translation exercises and I am about to be out with them.

【今日主题】

And this morning, I'd like to share a new sentence pattern with you. It is： 【从句】If + S + had done, 【主句】S + might have done. 这个句式就是说话者对某人或者是某事在过去一定的条件下，对其过去情况的可能性的一种假设，可能会做成的事情但是由于某种条件限制实际上又没做成功。

If we had found him earlier, we might have saved his life. 如果我们早点到的话，我们或许可以救活他。此句话言外之意就是：We found him late and we didn't save his life.

If I had been less cautious⁴, I might have been more wise. 如果我少一些谨慎，也许我就会多一些明智。此句话言外之意就是：I was more cautious and I was less wise.
