關於一句英文句子用法問題。?

It's time we were making a move.
此句是在查Yahoo字典move時出現的例句。
請問知識大大們,為什麼此句的It's時態是現在式,後面的we were卻是使用過去式,而不是前後時態一致呢?例如都是現在式:
It's time we are making a move.
或者都是過去式:
It was time we were making a move.
謝謝。: )

✔ 最佳答案
當你看到

1. it's time...
2. It is high time...

就要聯想到"是與事實相反的"(假設)語氣.

最常用的例子們是:

It is high time we went. 我們早該走了!(但是還沒走)
It's time we ate.我們早該吃飯飯了.(但是還沒吃)

回到你的問題:

It's time we were making a move. 我們早該做(那事)了.(但是還沒做)

所以用過去式(或是過去進行式)是對的.

 we were making a move.是個事實

所以前面可以用現在式It's time
