釋義
Camile: Hi Daniel. Do you know how to use the word ‘if’ correctly in English conversations?
Camile:嗨，Daniel。你知道怎么用英文正確使用“If”嗎?
Daniel: I do know how to use ‘if’ in some sentences. But sometimes it’s very confusing and I just can’t figure out when and where to use it.
Daniel:在一些句子里，我知道“if”怎么用。但是有時(shí)候也會(huì)疑惑，我就不知道什么時(shí)候、怎么用它。
Camile: I know some situations when we can use it.
Camile:我知道能用的一些情境。
Daniel : Okay, like what?
Daniel:好，比如說?
Camile: Here’s an example: If you don’t drink water, you’ll die.
Camile:我給你舉個(gè)例子：你要是不喝水，你就會(huì)死。
Daniel : Okay, so I can say that if you stand in the rain, you’ll get wet, which is true and happens to me a lot.
Daniel:好，那我就能說如果你去淋雨，你身上就會(huì)淋濕，這是真的，我就老是這樣。
Camile: Yeah, that’s right. Let’s take another example, where ‘if’ can be used to talk about the possibility of something happening in the future. You tell me this time.
Camile:是，舉個(gè)別的例子，“if”也可以用來表示未來發(fā)生的某件事的可能性。這是你來說。
Daniel: Let me see… Okay, I know: if I were a millionaire, I would buy an airplane.
Daniel:讓那個(gè)我想想，好，我知道了：如果我是一個(gè)百萬富翁，我就買一架飛機(jī)。

Daniel: I think ‘if’ is also used to join two conditions together in which the second condition depends on the first one.
Daniel:我認(rèn)為“if”也用于兩種情境，第二種情境取決于第一種情境。
Camile: That’s right, Daniel. For example, I won’t be hungry anymore if I eat a pizza.
Camile:對(duì)，Daniel。比如說，
Daniel: Yes, in your example, there are two situations. Eating a pizza, and being hungry. If you eat a pizza, then you won’t be hungry.
Daniel:嗯，在你舉的例子中，有兩種情況。吃披薩和饑餓，如果你吃了披薩，就不會(huì)餓了。
