听力原文

231. Had I not attended this workshop, I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel.

译文

如果没有参加过这次研讨会,很自然我就会认定那位男士是最佳候选人。因为这个职位需要经常出差。

点睛

本句的主干是I would have assumed。倒装结构Had I not attended this workshop为条件状语从句;the man was the best candidate为assumed的宾语从句省略了引导词that;because引导的是原因状语从句。

assume的意思是“设想,认为”。如:

I cannot assume anything in this case. 在这种情况下,我无法作任何猜测。

a bit of本义是“少量,一点点”,前面加了quite,则意为“大量的”。如:

The novel will take a bit of reading. 这本小说不需要花很多时间来看。

考点归纳

由if引导的条件状语从句,有时可把if省略,将从句的系动词或助动词前置构成倒装,这种情况下句子一般采用的是虚拟语气,表示一种假设的概念。如:

Were it not for his help, I would be in trouble. 要不是他帮忙,我就陷入麻烦了。(系动词were前置)

Had we made adequate preparations, we might have succeeded. 我们要是准备充分的话或许就成功了。(助动词had前置)

Should he call, what would you tell him? 万一他来电话,你怎么对他说?
