原文:Had it not been for the alarm clock she wouldn't have been late.
翻译:如果不是因为闹钟不响的话,她就不会迟到了。
解析:本句属于非真实条件状语从句的倒装语序,原句应为:
If it had not been for the alarm clock, she wouldn't have been late.其中主句和从句都与过去事实相反,因此if从句用了had+过去分词,主句用了would+不定式。我们再来看一句类似的倒装转换。
原句:If he had worked harder, he would have passed the exam.
倒装:Had he worked harder, he would have passed the exam.
