367. We can accept your order on condition that payment is made in advance.
译文
如果你能提前付款,我们就可以接受你的订单。点睛
on condition that…意为“在……条件下;如果”,含义与if类似。如:I will go there on condition that you would like to go with me. (=I will go there if you would like to go with me.)如果你跟我一起,我就去那儿。
短语in advance意为“事先,预先”。
考点归纳
表示“在……条件下”的表达还有under the circumstances that...。如:Under the circumstances that the salary offered was too low, he felt unable to accept the job. 薪金太低,他觉得无法接受这份工作。
与circumstance相关的一个重要表达是under no circumstances...,表示“无论如何都不……”,通常置于句首,且句子使用倒装形式。如:
Under no circumstances should you lend him any money. 你无论如何都不该把钱借给他。
