核心问题
（a）She suggested that I be responsible for the arrangements.
(b) She suggested that I should be responsible for the arrangements.
请问在上面的句子里 be 与 should be 哪个用法是正确的？
词典解答
使用be(现在时虚拟语气)为美国英语用法,should be(should + 动词原形)为英国英语用法(见 demand, request, essential)。七十年代出版的托福教程有的把 should be(should + 动词原形)的用法视为典型错误,而要求改为be。最近几年已见不到这样的模拟试题了。
be about to 见 about
be not about to 见 be
