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.

(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.

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。
