含蓄虚拟条件句的用法是什么
题目如下
I can’t thank you too much for your kindness because without your help I _________ have won the first prize in the speech contest.
A. can’t B. shouldn’t
C. might not D. couldn’t
答案选D 我疑问是B为什么不行 这个句子不是可以转化成I can’t thank you too much for your kindness because if you hadn't helped me, I _________ have won the first prize in the speech contest
这样不是可以填wouldn't、 couldn't 、shouldn't、 mightn't的吗 为什么这里就不能填shouldn't呢?

这是含蓄条件句,与过去事实相反,主句用could,should would,might加have done,但是could,should would,might的本身含义还不一样,couldn't have won...(没有你的帮助,我就不可能在英语演讲中获得一等奖),shouldn't含有不应该的意思.所以,这里不能用shoudn't,明白吗?
