СОСЛАГАТЕЛЬНОЕ НАКЛОНЕНИЕ
В ряде случаев перевод сослагательного наклонения на русский язык представляет известную трудность. А именно:
1. Форма would + инфинитив, если она употреблена в простом предложении с подразумевающимся условием, переводится на русский язык глаголом в сослагательном наклонении.
Any interruption to oil supplies would be hugely damaging to the world economy. Любые перебои в поставках нефти нанесли бы огромный ущерб мировой экономике.
Однако, в тех случаях, когда описывается содержание какого-нибудь внесенного, но еще не принятого проекта, плана или предложения, в русском языке принято употребление будущего времени изъявительного наклонения.
It was recommended that a special report should be submitted. This report would give a detailed account of the activities of the committee and their views on the situation. Рекомендуется представить специальный доклад. В этом докладе будет сделан подробный отчет о деятельности этой комиссии и представлена ее точка зрения по данному вопросу.
2. Трудность при переводе представляет также бессоюзное подчинение условных предложений с частичной или полной инверсией.
Had this policy been adopted, the subsequent history of the treaty might well have been quite different. Если бы такая политика была принята, последующая судьба этого договора вполне могла бы быть совершенно другой.
Примечание. 1. Часто не учитывается стилистическая окраска, литературный стиль инвертированного предложения, и предложение переводится также с бессоюзным подчинением, что в русском языке характерно как раз для разговорного стиля.
Had it been as easy as that, no special negotiations would have been necessary. Если бы это было так просто, не понадобилось бы никаких специальных переговоров (литературный стиль). (Будь это так просто... – разговорный стиль.)

2. Условие может быть выражено не только полным придаточным предложением, но и другими способами, например: if + причастие (см. «Причастие»), или сочетание предлогов given, provided и др. с существительным (см. «Причастия в функции союзов и предлогов»), или составной предлог but for + существительное.
But for their willingness to assist, this decision would never have been arrived at. Если бы не их желание помочь, это решение так и не было бы принято.
3. Форма were + инфинитив употребляется в придаточных условия для обозначения маловероятного условия, относящегося к будущему времени (еще менее вероятного, чем форма, омонимичная Past Indefinite); переводится глаголом в сослагательном наклонении. В русском языке нет грамматических форм для передачи различных градаций маловероятности, и поэтому они передаются, где это нужно, лексически (словами если вдруг/почему-нибудь/паче чаяния, обстоятельственными сочетаниями с предлогом при).
Such a system is bound to be unpopular among most Europeans, and if the Federal party were to support it, they would undoubtedly weaken their chances in the forthcoming federal elections. Такая система наверняка не будет пользоваться популярностью среди большинства европейцев, и если Федеральная партия вдруг (почему-либо) стала бы ее поддерживать, она, несомненно, уменьшила бы свои шансы на победу на предстоящих выборах.
4. Придаточные предложения условия с формой should (для всех лиц) + инфинитив при переводе на русский язык обычно начинаются словами в случае если бы. В английском языке такие предложения часто бывают инвертированными, с опущенным союзом.
The resolution, passed unanimously by the Council members on March 2nd, promises the “severest consequences” should Iraq again hinder the UN's arm inspectors (= if Iraq should hinder). Резолюция, единогласно принятая всеми членами Совета безопасности ООН, предупреждает о «самых серьезных последствиях» в случае, если Ирак вновь стал бы чинить препятствия работе инспекторов ООН по разоружению.
