例如：
They will be able, as it were, to see and hear us in action. 可以这么说，他们能够身临其境地感受我们的一切。（《新概念》第三册，第38课《The first calendar》）
He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside his head—he thinks of it, whatever its size, as if he were holding it completely enclosed in the hollow of his hand.可以这样说，当他想象一个物体时，不管其大小如何，他脑子里得到的是一个立体的概念，就好象完全握在自己手心里一样。（《新概念》第四册，第31课《The sculptor speaks》）
3．目的状语从句中的虚拟语气
有时so that , in order that, for fear that, lest引导的目的状语从句可以用直陈语气，也可以用虚拟语气。虚拟语气一般使用在比较正式的文体中，用法为“should+动词原形”，其中的should并没有具体意义，只是一个语法功能词。
例如：
I arrived early in order that I should get a good view of the procession.我来的比较早，为了能更清楚地观看这场游行。
Many firms, for instance, have great difficulty in obtaining technical or scientific books from libraries because they are unwilling to have their names entered as having taken out such and such a book, for fear the agents of other firms should be able to trace the kind of research they are likely to be undertaking. 比如，很多公司向图书馆借阅科技书籍时感到很困难，因为他们不愿让人家记下他们公司的名字和借阅的某一本书。他们生怕别的公司的情报人员会据此摸到他们可能要从事的某项科研项目。（《新概念》第四册，第15课《Secrecy in industry》）
4．一些表示虚拟语气的固定结构
be that as it may = however that may be 即使如此
come what may = whatever may happen 不管发生了什么事
Whether wind or rain comes = Come wind or rain 无论风吹雨打
例如：
Be that as it may, the nerve poison does its business with man far more quickly than the blood poison. 尽管如此，神经度液比溶血性毒液在人身上起作用快得多。（《新概念》第四册，第20课 《Snake poison》）
Come what may, I will give it a try. 无论如何我都要试一试。
Come wind or rain, I will accompany the blind man to factory every day. 不论刮风还是下雨，我每天要送那盲人上班。
