　　注意后四句是可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)作表語并提前，習(xí)慣上不用冠詞。

　　翻譯練習(xí)：

　　4.虛擬語氣條件從句中的if 被省略時(shí)，要把從句中的were, had 或should 移到主語之前。(if 的省略、倒裝只限于從句中有were, had 或should這三個(gè)詞時(shí)。)

　　例如：

　　If I had been in your place, I wouldn’t have given it up so early.

　　=Had I been in your place, I wouldn’t have given it up so early.

　　如果我在你的位置，我不會(huì)這樣早放棄。

　　Were there no air or water, there would be no life on the earth.

　　如果沒有空氣和水，地球上就不會(huì)有生命。

　　Had you been more careful, you might have avoided the mistake.

　　如果你再細(xì)心點(diǎn)，本來事可以避免這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的。

　　5.以so開頭的，表示“也一樣”，“也這樣”的句子要倒裝。So 用于肯定句，代替上文中的形容詞、名詞或動(dòng)詞，通常指前面所說的肯定情況也適用于其他人或物。結(jié)構(gòu)是“so + be (do, have 其他助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞)+主語”。

　　如：

　　Production is going up, so is the people’s standard of living.

　　生產(chǎn)不斷發(fā)展，人們的生活水平也一樣。
