目前大家應該是對was（was/were to do可命名為一種新過去將來）比較感興趣的，所以今天好房網(wǎng)小編CC就來為大家整理了一些關于was（was/were to do可命名為一種新過去將來）方面的相關知識來分享給大家，希望大家會喜歡哦。

was（was/were to do可命名為一種新過去將來）

這種提法古今中外我是第一個，was/were to do可以規(guī)定為一種全新的過去將來完成時用法

即，這種結構可以表達為：以現(xiàn)在的角度表示過去的事情，這種事情在過去的那個當時還沒有實現(xiàn)，但是以現(xiàn)在的角度去看又是在過去的那個當時以后已經(jīng)實現(xiàn)或完成了的動作，小編把它正式定義為一種全新的過去將來完成時用法。否定的時候也是適用的。這種用法很常見，但是許多人一看was/were to do即刻譯為：即將、將要、必將等，其實錯得too far。請看：

As early as his second film,Chaplin had developed his own manner of acting,the one that was to become world-famous.

書刊流行譯文：早在卓別林第二部電影的時候，卓別林就已經(jīng)形成了他自己的表演風格，這就是他必將在后來聞名于世的那種表演風格。

新定義譯文：早在卓別林第二部電影的時候，卓別林就已經(jīng)形成了他自己的表演風格，這種風格后來聞名于世。

這樣的譯法是不是更加符合歷史事實呢？

再看幾個經(jīng)典例句：

Thirty years later,this precocious youth was to be the First President of the United States.

三十年后，這個早熟的青年當上了美國第一任總統(tǒng)。

In 1642 a boy was born in Enhland who was to become one of the greatest scientsts in the history of the world.
