第19章 条件状语从句 The Adverbial Clause of Condition

亲爱的同学们,条件状语从句是大学英语四、六级考试中考得非常多的语法项目,所以理解和掌握条件状语从句至关重要。条件状语从句分为真实条件句和非真实条件句,非真实条件句将在虚拟语气中讲解,在这里我们主要讲解真实条件句。

18.1条件状语从句的基本用法

引导条件状语从句的连接词有if, unless, as long as, so long as, providing that, provided that,suppose that, supposing that, in case, only if, if only, on the condition that 等。

1.if

引导条件状语从句最常用的连词是if,由if 引导的条件状语从句表示在某种条件下某事很可能发生。例如:

If you fail in the exam, you will let him down.

如果你考试不及格,你会让他失望的。

if 从句还表示不可实现的条件或根本不可能存在的条件,也就是一种虚拟的条件或假设。

例如:

If I were you, I would certainly have not done such a silly thing.

如果我是你,我肯定不会做那样的蠢事。

2.unless

unless 为连词,意为“除非”、“若不”、“除非在……的时候”。例如:

You will fail to arrive there in time unless you start earlier.

如果你不早点动身,你就不能及时赶到那儿。

Unless you give up that bad habit, I will not marry you.

除非你放弃坏习惯,否则我不跟你结婚。

3.on condition that

on condition (that) ...意为“在……条件下”,on condition (that) ...引导的条件从句是主句事件发生的前提条件或唯一条件。例如:

I can tell you the truth on condition that you promise to keep a secret.

我可以告诉你真相,条件是你答应保守秘密。

You can go swimming on condition (that) you don"t go too far from the river bank.

你只有在不远离河岸的条件下才可以下水游泳。

4.suppose/supposing that

suppose/supposing 为连词,意为“如果”、“假如”,supposing 引导的条件从句表示一种假设条件。例如:

Suppose/Supposing it rains, shall we continue the sports meeting?

倘若下雨,我们的运动会还要继续举行吗?

Suppose/Supposing anything should go wrong, what would you do then?

假如出了什么问题,你准备怎么对付?

5.providing/provided that

provided 为连词,意为“假如”、“除非”、“以……为条件”,“provided (that) +从句”表示一种假设条件。例如:

He will sign the contract provided we offer more favorable terms.

如果我们提出更优惠的条件,他就会在合同上签字。

He won"t be against us in the meeting provided that we ask for his advice in advance.

如果我们提前征求一下他的意见,他就不会在会上反对我们。

6.as/so long as

as long as 和so long as 均可用于引导条件状语从句,表示“如果”、“只要”。例如:

So long as you are happy, it doesn"t matter what you do.

只要你高兴,你做什么都没关系。

You may borrow my book as long as you keep it clean.

只要你保持书的清洁,你就可以把我的书借去。

7.“only if” 和 “if only”

only if 和if only 不仅仅是词序的颠倒,意义也有很大的不同。

(1)only if 引导的从句用陈述语气,意为“只要……”。例如:

Only if we keep up with it, we will necessarily be successful.

只要我们坚持,我们必然会成功。

(2)if only引导的从句要用虚拟语气,可以不要主句,意为“但愿……”、“要是……就好了”。例如:

If only I had understood that question, I would not have asked you.

要是我理解了那个问题,我就不问你了。

Task 1

补全下列句子。

1.________________________________,no one feels like exercising.

除非睡眠充足,否则谁也不想锻炼。

2.________________________________,what shall we do?

如果下雨怎么办?

3.________________________________,please remind me about it.

如果我忘了,请提醒我一下。

(4)相当于条件状语从句的被动结构。英语中“主语+被动谓语+by 短语”结构的句子有时还可以表示:如果发生了by 后面的事情,就可能出现前面的情况。例如:

This heart"s desire of all the people could easily have been gained by steadfastness in righteous convictions, and by reasonable.

各国人民的这种衷心热望,如果大家恪守正义的信念,根据常理来处理事情,本来是很容易实现的。

下星期一要是不出击,就撤你的职。

(7)相当于条件状语从句的主谓宾结构。在英语中,“主语+谓语+宾语”结构的句子可表示:如果发生这个动作或出现这个状态就会产生后面的结果。例如:

The failure to observe the safety regulation brought an accident of the machine.

如果没有遵守安全规则,机器就出故障。

But the gradual opening of capital accounts must be accompanied by a further strengthening of macroeconomic policies, the development of a system of risk management robust enough to respond to the needs of a more flexible exchange rate and capital account.

如果资本项目逐步开放,必须进一步加强宏观经济政策,大力发展风险管理体制以应对汇率和资本项目频繁波动的需要。

But for your help, we should not have finished in time.

要不是你帮忙,我们肯定不能及时完成任务。

He worked very hard, otherwise he might have failed.

他刻苦工作,不然他就失败了。

We could have done better under more favorable conditions.

假设有更有利的条件,我们还会做得更好。

注意:有时假设的情况并不以条件从句表示出来,而是通过一个介词短语来表示,或通过上下文或其他方式表示出来,把条件隐含在句子当中。如以上句中的but for, but that …, in case of, otherwise, supposing, under more favourable condition, without 等表示让步假设状语从句。

Task 2

1., he will be fined.

如果不能及时归还这本书,他就要被罚款。
