if 非真实条件句的倒装
虚拟条件句的从句部分含有 were,should 或 had 时,可省略 if,再把 were,should 或 had 移到从句的句首进行倒装。
例如:
Were they here now, they could help us. = If they were here now, they could help us.
他们现在要是在的话,就会帮助我们了。
Had you come earlier, you would have met him. =If you had come earlier, you would have
met him. 你来得早一点,就碰到他了。
Should it rain, the crops would be saved. =Were it to rain, the crops would be saved.
假如下雨,庄稼就有救了。
