一、英文的助動詞would,能夠表達以下之意義:
(一)將要、將會,因為是表達過去時點到未來,所以必須和I thought(我認為)/I believe(我相信)/I decided(我決定)連用,為間接引用:I thought it would snow.(我以為要下雪了)
(二)表示過去的習慣:Alex would eat B vitamins before school.(Alex會在上學前會吃B群)
(三)想要、決定要:Teacher tries to help Amy, but she would not accept.(老師試圖幫助Amy,但她不接受)
(四)能夠(和can/could相同):She would memorize 100 words a day. (她一天能背100個單字)
(四)能夠(和can/could相同):She would memorize 100 words a day. (她一天能背100個單字)
與will比較:
將要、將會(表達未來):will表示「現在」到未來;would表示「過去」到未來
習慣:will表示「現在」的習慣;would表示「過去」的習慣
想要、決定要:will表示「現在」的意志;would表示「過去」的意志
能夠:would比較偏向「過去」能夠,但實際運用時,will/would差異不大,也未必能從文義判斷是不是過去
