272.“I wondered if I could have a word with you” The past tense in the sentence refers to a _________.
A
past event for exact time reference
B
present event for tentativeness
C
present event for uncertainty
D
past event for politeness
答案解析
正确答案：B
解析：
解析:句意:我想知道我是否能和你谈谈。一般过去时在特定的巨型中,可表现现在和将 来的事件,表示委婉语气或试探语气。过去时比直接用现在时更加不直接,而且情态动 词的过去式表达的“可能性”相比其现在式要小,显得说话人更谦虚、谨慎,所以语气更加 委婉客气。tentativeness 表示试探,这种试探就是一种谨慎、委婉客气。
