It's about time that...是啥意思啊?
It's about time that... 该是……的时候了,后面的that从句中的动词要用虚拟语气。,从句中的谓语动词有两种形式,或者用动词的过去式(be用were);或者用shoud + 动词原形(should不能省略)。如:
1、 It's about time that he learned to look after himself.
现在该是他学会照顾自己的时候了。
2、A: Don't you think it's about time you got them working properly?
难道你们不认为是时候让它们正常工作了吗?
B: I agree entirely. I assure you it won't happen again.
我完全同意。保证不会再发生这种事了。
扩展资料:
It's time + that clause 时,that可省略,time可由high,about修饰。此句型为虚拟语气句型,表示“现在某人该做某事了”。含有该事早该去做而未做,现在去做似乎都为时已晚的意思。例:
1、 It's about time (that)we went to bed.
我们该去睡觉了。
2、It's about time that the article were published.
发表这篇文章是适时的。
3、It's time you should do cleaning.
你该去打扫卫生了。
