it's time we addressed ourselves to the problem

  • 就是应该用过去时:

    It's time + that clause 时,that可省略,time可由high,about修饰,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).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:

    It's time (that)we went to bed.

    我们该去睡觉了.

    It's high time that the article were published.

    发表这篇文章是适时的.

    It's time you should do cleaning.

    你该去打扫卫生了.
