[解释]insist + that-clause
insist 意为“坚持要求(做某事)”时,宾语从句用虚拟语气,谓语用should do的形式, should可省略;而insist 意为“坚持认为,坚持某种观点”时,宾语从句的动词时态根据具体的语境变化,不用虚拟语气。
he insisted that he hadn’t made a mistake. 他坚持认为自己没有犯错。
the bodyguards insisted that the president (should) keep away from the crowd for the sake of safety. 出于安全考虑,护卫人员坚决要求总统远离人群。
suggest (建议),demand (要求),require (要求),request (请求),order (命令)等动词的宾语从句也常用 “(should) do” 表示虚拟语气。
