insist在中學階段,只要掌握以下三種用法即可:
1、insist on/upon (sb/one's) (doing) sth
如:You should insist on your dream.
You should insist upon doing exercise every day.
You should insist on her apologizing to you.
2、insist + that引導的賓語從句
1)如果insist翻譯為“堅持說/堅持認為”,即that從句表示已經發(fā)生的動作時,則賓語從句使用陳述語氣,即從句該用什么時態(tài)就用什么時態(tài),當然還要和主句時態(tài)保持呼應.
如:She insisted that she was right.
She insisted (that) she had been to Beijing the year before.
2)如果insist翻譯為“堅持要求/堅持主張”,即that從句的動作當時尚未發(fā)生的話,則賓語從句必須使用虛擬語氣,即從句謂語動詞由“should + 動詞原形”構成,且should可以省略.
如:He insisted that she (should) say sorry to him frist.
