今日個post嚟教下點樣用if not 係句子入面，話說小弟前幾日同人一齊溫dse 英文作文嘅時候，發覺if not 好似係一個好難get 嘅concept 嚟，所以今日就嚟講下if not 係咩東東嚟，食得嘅? (誤
通常if not 係有呢7種嘅用法，如果有錯漏咗可以留言到同我講返
======
第一個用法: 去提出一個alternative(替代) 嘅結果或者係可能性:
我用space Introduction to Political Science 入面presentation 題目去寫 ： Do you believe that the rise of China could prompt a shift from a multipolar world back to a bipolar one in the near future? (您是否認為中國的崛起會在不久的將來促使世界從多極轉向兩極？)
如果用if not 去改呢句句子，佢就會變成: Do you believe that the rise of China could potentially lead to a shift from a multipolar world to, if not a bipolar one, at least a more prominently bipolar one in the near future? (您是否認為中國的崛起有可能在不久的將來導致世界多極世界轉變為雙極世界，就算唔係完全雙極世界的話，至少是一個更明顯嘅雙極世界？)
if not a bipolar one 指緊嘅就係另一個可能性, 係細啲機會率會發生，然後逗號後面就會寫一個大啲機會率發生嘅野
=====
第二個用法: 強調相反意見嘅存在：
例子: The incumbent government has made progress in implementing social policies, if not to the extent desired by opposition parties." (執政政府在推行社會政策方面取得了進展，雖然未達到反對黨期望的程度。)
佢另外一個寫法係: The incumbent government has made progress in implementing social policies, yet it is not to the extent desired by opposition parties.
但上面嘅用法會睇落positive 好多，如果你睇執政黨佢哋嘅用詞，一定係用上面，而yet 會係反對黨用
btw to the extent 好好用，可以用多啲
======
第三個用法: 表達不確定性或懷疑:
例子: The proposed policy measures could potentially address income inequality, if not hindered by political resistance and vested interests. （所提出的政策措施有可能解決收入不平等問題，但如果受到政治阻力和既得利益的干擾，可能會受阻。）
呢句野見到could, 就知佢係表達緊一啲不確定嘅事，提出的政策措施可能面臨阻礙，令政策難以實施
佢用另外一個字法會係: The proposed policy measures could potentially address income inequality, unless they face political resistance and vested interests.
======
第四個用法: 提出更極端或意外的可能性:
例子: In the context of resource scarcity, if not properly managed, conflicts over access to natural resources could escalate into full-scale regional wars." (在資源短缺的背景下，如果沒有適當地處理，自然資源的爭端可能升為全面性的區域戰爭。)
佢呢句 if not properly managed 可以理解如果呢樣野做唔好，後果會係咩，而呢個後果多數會係更壞嘅情況
======
第五個用法: 提出讓步或承認限制:
例子: The electoral system promotes democratic representation, if not without certain challenges, such as potential gerrymandering. (選舉制度促進民主代表性，但仍然存在一些挑戰，例如可能存在選區劃分的問題。)
通常呢類句子會見到 if not without 意思嘅字，後面會有example
======
第六個用法: 表達最低的期望或要求
Politicians should uphold the principles of transparency if not exceed public expectations in their financial disclosures. (政治人物應該在財務披露方面遵守透明原則，如果能超出公眾對其的期望，那就更好了。)
通常呢類句子會見到should 呢啲表達obligation 嘅字眼
======
第七個用法: 提及後果:
例子: If not holding Trump accountable for his inciting language, the continuous effort of Trump's incitement can potentially encourage and incite the public to distrust and question the legitimacy of the U.S. political system. （如果不追究令特朗普煽動性言論，他的行為有可能會鼓勵並煽動公眾對美國政治體系的合法性產生不信任和質疑。）
呢類就最易睇得明，都係普通if 嘅用法嚟
比多一個practice 大家，你哋估下 Therefore, it is my unwavering belief that the installation of monitoring apps will have detrimental, if not irrevocable, effects on the personal growth of children. 係屬於邊一類，同唔用if not 可以點寫?
