The chances are that few if any of you will leave your names to be cut into those stones.
问:怎么理解这里的if any,什么成分,放在句子里如何翻译整个句子
1. 题主这句话是有标点符号的,这两个逗号对理解句子非常有帮助:
The chances are that few, if any, of you will leave your names to be cut into those stones.
if any是插入语,省略了there is,补全了就是if there is any (chance)=如果还有(机会)的话
全句翻译:你们名字被刻在那些石头上的几率是很少的——如果还有的话!
2. 类似这种if any用法的其他例句:
if any:假如有,即使有
Correct the errors, if any. 如有错误请订正。
There is little water, if any. 即使有水,也只是一点点。
There are few, if any,mistakes in the book. 那本书里即使真有错误,也不多.
If any letters come after you've left, I'll send them on. 如果你离开后有信来了,我会转寄给你.
