有关insist的用法整理

焯杰分享

  insist的用法主要有两种,下面学习啦小编为大家整理这两种种用法:

  1、insist on/upon (sb/one's) (doing) sth

  如:You should insist on your dream.

  You should insist on her apologizing to you.

  2、insist + that引导的宾语从句

  1)如果insist翻译为“坚持要求/坚持主张”,即that从句的动作当时尚未发生的话,则宾语从句必须使用虚拟语气,即从句谓语动词由“should + 动词原形”构成,且should可以省略。

  如:He insisted that she (should) say sorry to him frist.

  2)如果insist翻译为“坚持说/坚持认为”,即that从句表示已经发生的动作时,则宾语从句使用陈述语气,即从句该用什么时态就用什么时态,当然还要和主句时态保持呼应。

  如:She insisted (that) she had been to Beijing the year before.

  She insisted that she was right.
