言之有物

3. 詞鏈兒：come at somebody 撲向、襲擊

4. If I were a man...
虛擬語氣 ：如果我是個男人（事實上你是女人）
*因爲if從句表示不可實現的條件或根本不可能存在的條件，也就是一種虛擬的條件或假設，所以從句多用一般過去時或過去完成時。如：
If I were you, I would invite him to the party.
如果我是你，我會邀請他參加聚會。
If I were you, I just wouldn't worry about it.
要是我是你，我一點都不會擔心。
If I were you, I'd grow eyes in the back of my head. 我要是你，會加倍提防的。
活學活用
請用 If I were...隨意造句
