问题: 帮忙分析这句英文虚拟语气句子

The schools would seem very impersonal were all the computers to replace human teacher.其中were是什么成分呢?还有to是怎么回事?

解答:

此句是一个虚拟语气,意为:如果电脑取代了人来当教师的话,那么学校将变得很乏味。

此句还可以改写为:Were all the computers to replace human teachers, the schools would seem very impersonal. 这样看起来不是舒服多了. Were在句首构成倒装形式的虚拟语气。

举例:If I were you, I would .....; 改成倒装句:Were I you, I would......

所以你提供的那个句子其实是一个从句倒装了的虚拟语气的句子。改成正常语序是:The schools would seem very impersonal if all the computers were to replace human teachers.
