1.In all his encounters with his neighbors--whether they be Kings or drunken __ clowns--Caliban is never accorded the power to see. 請問句中為什麼用be而非are呢? 自己有查了一下subjnuctive mood的用法(其實這種用法也不大懂),書中寫這是『倒裝 的假設句』,但是上面這句並沒有倒裝。 例句: 1.Be the problem easy or difficult, this method applies. 請問該怎麼從原句改成上面這句。 而且,be the problem easy or difficult 和whether the problem is easy or difficult意思又不同在哪裡呢? Thanks a lot! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.118.39.9

"be"的使用本身就是個subjunctive mood marker。倒裝句型

只是個句型,和be的使用沒有直接關聯

dash之間的也可以寫成"--be they Kings or ....--"
