1. If you…you'll…
“如果你……你就会……”这是个直截了当的结构,在口语中常见而实用。但是这个结构表达心愿时,必须有另一方,即心愿的接受者。不适合做自我许愿。
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too…you'll be a man,son.
2. I have a dream that…
"I have a dream that…"是后面要跟从句的结构,表示“我的梦想是怎样怎样一回事”。这个结构也很适合后面做大量的话题拓展。比如马丁·路德·金在演讲里大量使用该排句,说的效果也极有分量,气势非凡。
"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-oweners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood."
