otherwise的用法(Otherwise的两个特殊而重要的用法讲解)
先做一下下面两道试题,如果感觉吃力,请你认真学习本文,如果你感觉简单,答案又正确的话,请直接跳过,不过可能还会吃亏,因为我今天的知识点非常重要,我的讲义里例句都是经典的,许多地方都是意想不到的考点。最好还是认认真真地看看本文吧,嘿嘿。
1、Mary ____ my letter ;otherwise she would have replied before now.
A has received B ought to have received
C couldn’t have received
D shouldn’t have received
2、where have you been?
I______in the heavy traffic,otherwise I_______here earlier.
A got stuck; would have come
B got stuck ;was
C have got stuck ;would have come
D had got stuck; would come
1、otherwise可表示含蓄虚拟的条件,主句用陈述语气(该声明时态用声明时态),从句用虚拟语气用would have done形式表达.
如:We didn’t know you were in trouble at that time, otherwise we would have given you a hand.
我们当时不知道你遇到了困难,要不然我们会帮助你的.
除了otherwise(否则,要不然)以外,能够表示这种虚拟条件的词和短语还包括:but that(要不是)、without(没有)or(不然)、under...circumstances(在……的情况下)、in the past(在过去)等等.
Luckily he reminded me. Otherwise I’d have forgotten all about it.
亏他提醒了我,要不我早忘了。
He reminded me of what I should otherwise have forgotten.
他提醒了我, 要不然(如果没有提醒我)我就会把这件事给忘了。
His advice has made the design better than it would otherwise have been.
他的建议使得这个设计要比它本该是(如果未采纳他的建议)的样子要好。
My parents lent me the money. Otherwise, I couldn’t have afforded the trip.
我父母借钱给我了。否则,我可付不起这次旅费。
We’re committed to the project. We wouldn’t be here otherwise.
我们是全心全意投入这项工作的,否则我们就不会到这里来了。
2、注意:otherwise与or的区别
otherwise用于表示否定条件,指如果不做某事,就会发生不好的事,含告诫、威胁之意,语气强于 or。
Shut the window, otherwise it’ll get too cold in here.
把窗户关好,不然屋子里就太冷了。
Don’t move, otherwise I’ll kill you [ you’ll be shot dead].
不许动,要不我就崩了你。

现在就做,否则就解雇你。
Hands up, otherwise you will be shot.
举起手来,否则就毙了你。
Put your coat on, otherwise you’ll catch a cold.
穿上外套,不然你会感冒的。
or词义同 otherwise,但语气较弱,多用于口语,也可与 else 合用。
〔例证〕
Get away, or (else) I’ll call the cops.
滚开,不然我就打电话叫警察了。
Hurry up or (else) we’ll be late.
抓紧时间,不然的话我们就要迟到了。
