代替if 子句的用法
a.用不定词代替
1. If you heard him talk, you would think he knew all about
the secret.
To hear him talk, you would think he knew all about the secret.
翻译：如果你听到他谈话，你会以为他知道所有的秘密。
听到“他说”并没有指定“他说的话”，而是“他说”这个动作，
同时要突出的是他而不是他说的话，所以不用所有格his talk 。


b.用副词连接词 / 副词片语代替
1. If I didn’t know he was innocent, I wouldn’t try to save
him.
=>I know he is innocent; otherwise I wouldn’t try to save him.
翻译：如果我不知道他是无辜的，我也不会想尽办法去救他。
Otherwise 否则，前面是事实，后面是与事实相反的假设。
翻译：我知道他是无辜的，否则我也不会设法去救他。

2. If we hadn’t hidden in the forest, they would have found
us.
=>We hid in the forest; otherwise they would have found us.
翻译：如果我们没有躲在森林里的话，他们就会找到我们。
hide hid hidden ， 动词三态。
第二句，先说了事实，我们躲在树林里，然后假设，否则他们就会找
到我们。

otherwise 前用分号
· 错误例句: She wrote up the idea, then she got a patent.
· 正确例句: She wrote up the idea, and then she got a patent.

3. If you had a little patience, you could get over your
difficulty.
=>With a little patience, you could get over your difficulty.
patient(a.)有耐性的 (n.)病人
patience n.耐心
翻译：如果你有耐性的话，你就可以克服万难。
with 可以是介系词也可以是副词，表示“有”，if you 都省略了，
had 这个动词也被替换了。

4. If it had been ten years ago, I could have run around this
