Hello! I'm Georgie from BBC Learning English, and in this video, we're looking at how to talk about unlikely or hypothetical situations using something called the second conditional.

你好！我是 BBC Learning English 的 Georgie，在這部影片中，我們將探討如何使用第二類條件句來談論不太可能或假設的情況。

祈使句型

過去簡單式

I asked my BBC Learning English colleagues, what would you do if you won a million pounds?

我問 BBC Learning English 的同事，如果你贏了一百萬英鎊，你會怎麼做？

If I won a million pounds, I'd probably buy a nice little house in the countryside.

如果我贏了一百萬英鎊，我可能會在鄉下買一棟漂亮的小房子。

If I won a million pounds, I'd probably go travelling all around the world.

如果我贏了一百萬英鎊，我可能會環遊世界。

So, we have an unlikely situation, winning a million pounds.

我們遇到了一個不太可能發生的情況，那就是贏得一百萬英鎊。

Sadly, that doesn't happen often, so the second conditional is used to imagine an unlikely situation and think about the outcomes of that.

遺憾的是，這種情況並不經常發生，所以第二類條件句用於想象一種不太可能發生的情況，並思考其結果。

If George won a million pounds, he'd buy a house in the countryside.

如果 George 贏了一百萬英鎊，他會在鄉下買一棟房子。

Pippa would go travelling around the world.

Let's hear about another hypothetical scenario.

讓我們來聽聽另一種假設情況。

What would you do if you were alone on a desert island?

如果你獨自一人在荒島上，你會怎麼做？

What would I do if I was alone on a desert island?

如果我一個人在荒島上，我會怎麼做？

If I was alone on a desert island, I think I'd try to find a way to get off the desert island.

如果我一個人在荒島上，我想我會想辦法離開荒島。

If I was alone on a desert island, I think I would be very bad at surviving.

如果我一個人在荒島上，我想我會很不擅長生存。

If I were alone on a desert island, I would panic because I wouldn't know how to survive.

如果我一個人在荒島上，我會驚慌失措，因為我不知道如何生存。

我會努力尋找任何可能的旅遊線路。

Again, an unlikely situation of being alone on a desert island, and we're kind of dreaming and imagining what would I do if I were in that situation.

同樣，在荒島上孤身一人的情況不太可能發生，我們在做夢，想象著如果我在這種情況下會怎麼做。

Next, we can use the second conditional to give advice, starting with if I were you, meaning if I were in your position faced with the same decision or dilemma.

接下來，我們可以用第二類條件句來給出建議，首先是「如果我是你」，意思是如果我處於你的位置，面臨同樣的決定或困境。

Listen to my colleague give me some advice about a problem.

聽我的同事就一個問題給我一些建議。

If I were you, I'd ask your parents to give you a small loan so you can survive until the end of the month.

如果我是你，我會讓你的父母給你一筆小額貸款，這樣你就能熬到月底了。

「如果我是你」其實是不可能的。

You can't become someone else, but you're giving advice by saying this is what I would do if I were in your position.

你不可能變成別人，但你在提供建議時說，如果我處在你的位置，我會這麼做。

Now, pause the video and think about which structures are used to make a second conditional.

現在，請暫停影片，思考哪些結構用於構成第二類條件句。

The structure is the past simple in the if clause and would plus a base verb in the main or result clause.

其結構是在 if 子句中使用過去式，在主句或結果子句中使用 would 加原型動詞。

To recap, the second conditional is used to imagine an unlikely situation.

概括地說，第二類條件句用於想象一種不太可能發生的情況。

If I won the lottery, I'd buy a house in the countryside.

如果我中了樂透，我會在鄉下買一棟房子。

To give advice: It's raining outside, so if I were you, I'd take an umbrella.

給別人提供建議：外面在下雨，如果我是你，我會帶把傘。
