suggestion that doesn't sound forceful in any way because we phrase it as an unreal condition.

建議，聽起來一點也不有力，因為我們把它表述為一種不真實的條件。

If I worry too much, I start to have thoughts like these:

如果我太過擔心，我就會開始有這樣的想法。

Obviously, it's not healthy to worry that much, so we should all try not to be worry warts.

顯然，這麼擔心是不健康的，所以我們都應該儘量不要做擔心疣。

To express worries, we can use "What if" plus the simple present

表達憂慮，我們可以用 "如果 "加上簡單的現在。

because we usually worry about the future. They're real concerns for us.

因為我們通常擔心未來。它們對我們來說是真正的擔憂。

Now how about if we talk about the other expression?
