if it were not for要不是 ใช้สำหรับสร้าง เงื่อนไขที่สมมติว่าไม่เป็นจริง — "if it weren't for …, (then) …" (≈ if如果no不是).Clausethe back后面 says what would otherwise have happened.
โครงสร้าง: 要不是 + Condition (的话) ,……
if it weren't for要不是you你I,我would会get lost迷路。
If it weren't for you, I'd get lost.
if it weren't for要不是the traffic堵车I,我already早就arrived到了。
If not for the traffic, I'd already be here.
Remember: if it were not for要不是 = "if it weren't for…" (= if如果no不是) — an unreal condition that didn't happen, with the result clause spelling out the road not taken. if it were not for要不是traffic jam堵车,I / me我already at an earlier time早就to / arrive到(completed / change)了 ("if not for the traffic, I'd be there").
ข้อควรระวัง
- It's counterfactual — the condition is contrary to fact (there was traffic), so the result is what would have been.
