英语语法学习“条件”表达法
除了if与unless从句可表达“条件”外,还包括:
1. 短语介词:on condition that; as/so long as
2. 分词:assuming, supposing, providing, provided, given
例如:
Providing /Provided (that) they are fit, I see no reason why they shouldn't go on playing for another four or five years.
3. 句式:
a. 祈使句 + and /or + 陈述句
例如:
Keep on and you will make it.
= If you keep on, you will make it.
Be cautious or you might get into trouble.
=If you are not cautious, you might get into trouble.
该句式中的祈使句,也可由一个名词短语来替代。
如:
Five minutes earlier and you would have caught the train.
= If you had arrived five minutes earlier, you would have caught the train.
b. the + 比较级,the + 比较级
例如:
The higher you stand, the farther you will see.
= If you stand higher, you will see farther.
