大家要明確if you will…這類表達(dá)中的will不是用于構(gòu)成將來時(shí)態(tài)的助動(dòng)詞，而是一個(gè)情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，所以它的意思不是“將”，而是“愿意”“執(zhí)意”等。下面我們來歸納一下if you will…的用法。

新東方和你一起學(xué)習(xí)if you will句型

1. will表示意愿

will用作情態(tài)動(dòng)詞最基本的用法就是表示意愿。如：

a man who won't work is no good. 不肯干活的人沒出息。

i will pay you at the rate you ask. 我愿意照你要求的價(jià)錢付款。

這樣用的will和would也可用于if條件狀語從句中。如：

if you will allow me, i will see you home. 如果你同意，我可以送你回家。

if you won’t come, i’ll go myself. 如果你不愿意去，那我就自己去。

i’ll thank you if you will give me a hand. 如果你能幫助我，我就謝謝你了。

i’ll pay for the hotel, if you will for the food. 如果你原付伙食錢，我就來付旅館錢。

if you won’t stop smoking, you can only expect to have a bad cough. 如果你不肯戒煙，你只會(huì)患嚴(yán)重咳嗽。

if he will only try harder, i’m sure he’d do well. 只要他愿再努力一些，我相信他會(huì)做好的。

if you will agree to pay us compensation, we will agree not to take the matter any further. 只要你會(huì)同意給我們賠償費(fèi)，我們就同意不再追究此事。

if you will indulge me for one moment, i think i can explain the matter to you. 你要是容我把話說完，我想我可以把此事給你解釋清楚。

i’ll appreciate it if you will let me know in advance. 如果你事先讓我知道的話，我會(huì)很感激的。

i’d be grateful if you will let me know soon. 如果你肯早點(diǎn)告訴我，我會(huì)感激不盡。

注意，這類句子的翻譯有時(shí)比較靈活。如：

if you will wait a moment, i’ll fetch the money. 請稍等一會(huì)，我就取錢去。

if you will follow me, i’ll show you the way. 請跟我來，我給你指路。

if you will wait a moment i’ll see if mr jones is free. 請您稍候片刻，我看看瓊斯先生是否有空。

if you would come this way, i’ll take you to the manager’s office. 請你從這邊走，我?guī)�你去�?jīng)理辦公室。

if you will sit down for a few moments, i’ll tell the manager you’re here. 請稍坐，我這就通知經(jīng)理說您來了。

will的過去式would也有類似用法。如：

i would be very grateful if you would make the arrangements for me. 如果您能為我安排一下，我將不勝感激。
