6 他請求總理接見她。
He requested that the Premier should grant him an interview.

【喇叭】這里不要看到主句是requested, 就認為從句中的grant也要用過去式,這里是省略了should.
7 他要求他們通宵工作。
He requires that they should work all night

8 她懇求黨能寬恕她的錯誤。
She petitioned the Party that she should be pardoned.
【點評】該句中that she should be pardoned 是直接賓語,the Party是間接賓語。由此我們可知,賓語從句的虛擬語氣可以用在直接賓語中。
She petitioned the Party she be pardoned.
【喇叭】該句子中不能用作was,注意這里省略了should.
9 她催促他盡快接替這個職位。
She urges that he should take this position as soon as possible.

【喇叭】該句中不要看到主句中的謂語動詞是urges,是一般現(xiàn)在時,從句中he是第三人稱單數(shù),就把take用成takes。這里是省略了should.
由以上的喇叭中可見,虛擬語氣在賓語從句的使用省略了should會攪亂大家的思維,模糊大家的視線,因此在這一點上我們要加以謹慎,保持清醒的頭腦。
