if you like

 Hi there, students. I had a question about the phrase 'if you like'. Well if you like can be part of a condtional clause. If you like sweet things, you shoule eat chocolate. But there is a different meaning to this. This we use more (?) idiom. So we use this to say things in another way. So for example, he is quite a large man, fat, if you like. Ok, so, I am saying it in another way, I am rephrasing it, I am paraphrasing it, yeah. Ok, I teach people to communicate, or I am an English teacher if you like. Ok we can also use this phrase to mean 'if you want to approve', if you agree with me, making a suggestion and asking if you agree with them. So we can go to the cinema if you like. I am suggesting why don't we go to the cinema, if you like, if you want, we can go to the cinema, I think it is a good idea, what do you think? if you like, yeah. We could have a class tomorrow at 4 O'clock, if you like, if you agree, so it's a way of making a suggestion as well. Ok, so this phrase, if you like, ok, it has two different meanings, it means to say something in another way, ok. He drives extremely fast, dangerously, if you like. So maybe you want to prove what I am saying, or maybe will say, to say it in another way. So notice the two meanings are very very similar, they almost overlap, cover one and another. So I think it's time to finish this video or I have probably got no more to say, if you like.  So anyway, you can give the video a rating if you like, if you want, if you prove my suggestion and you can subscribe to my channel if you like and I will see you soon. Bye for now.

各位！我對短句‘if you like’有個疑問，if you likei可以是條件從句的一個部分，如果你喜歡甜食，你應該吃­點巧克力。但其實它有另外一個意思，我們更多的把它當成一句習慣­用句。我們用它來表示事情的另一種講法。比如說，他是一個體型厚­重的人，也可以說，肥胖。我在用另外一種方式來講述這件事，我在­描述這件事，我在措辭。我在教大家溝通的學問，你也可以說，我是­一個英語教師。我們也用這個短句來表達‘贊同’‘同意某人’的意­思，提出建議並詢問對方是否同意。我們可以去看電影，如果你不反­對。我在建議，為什麼我們不去看電影呢，如果你不反對，如果你也­想這樣，我認為這是個好主意，你說呢？我們明天下午4點有課，如­果你沒有問題的話。這是我用該句做出的建議。if you like，這個短句有兩種意思，一是用另外一種方式來描述事情，­他開車狂飆，可以說，極其危險。或者你想贊同我所說的，或者可能­要說的，用另一種方式來表達。所以這兩種意思是非常相似的，幾乎­互相重疊。我認為是時候要結束這個錄像了，也可以說，我幾乎沒有東西可以說­了。如果沒有問題的話，你同意的話，你可以給這個錄像留下一個評­級；你可以訂閱我的頻道，我將很快和你又見面。
