喜樂美語
  1. 1conj/prəˈvaɪdɪd/前提是／只要

    正式Used to say that something will only happen or be true if a certain condition is met. The same meaning as 'if' or 'on the condition that'.

    「provided (that)」是「前提是……」或「只要……就」的意思，比 if 更正式，常用在合約、規則或正式條件句中。例如 You can go, provided that you finish your work first（你可以去，前提是你先完成工作）。「providing (that)」也是相同意思。

core核心畫面

You can picture 'provided' as a small gate placed in front of a promise: the thing you want can come through, but only if it passes one condition first. 'Provided you pay, it's yours' — the gate opens only when the condition is met.

可以想成：provided 像是擺在一句承諾前面的一道小門。後面那件事可以發生、可以成真，但前提是要先通過某個條件這道門。例如 provided you pay, it's yours（只要你付錢，東西就是你的）——條件達成，門才打開。
