Question

It's about time that...是什么意思？

Answer 1

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。
