請問:介詞without可用于虛擬語氣嗎
without有時可表示條件,引出虛擬語氣,與but for大致同義。如:
Without [But for] appropriate software, a computer would be a mere box. 如果沒有恰當的軟件,電腦只是一個空盒子罷了。
Without [But for] you, our project wouldn’t have succeeded. 如果沒有你的話,我們的計劃就無法成功了。
Life would be quieter without the telephone. 要是沒有電話,生活就會清靜一些了。
Without your advice I would have failed. 假若沒有你的勸告,我想必已失敗了。
