记录下我的思考,不是为了争个对错高低哈。
对比下 LAAD2 和 LDOCE5 。
LAAD2(2007) » I would get there early, if you can. 要是你可以早到,我也会早到的。(2000 年第一版 LAAD 并没有这个例句,从时间判断,这个句子是改编自 LDOCE 的)
LDOCE4/5(2003、2009) » I’d try to get there early if you can. 要是你可以早到,我也会尽量早到。
LDOCE 多了 try to ,直觉上讲,假如 you 可以早到,接下来要说的就是 I 也可以、必须、应该、肯定、坚决地要早到,你早到了我再晚到有点不太好吧,而不单单是 try to (尽量)早到。你都早到了,我还只是尽量早到,那这个你早到,有什么意义?
LDOCE 里的 would 以及 try to ,其实让我倾向于 I 有不去的可能性,为什么呢?假如我要去的话,我倾向于这样说:
- I will/can/would/could get there early if you can/could. 也就是如 LAAD2 那样,去掉 try to 。
就算用 try to ,因为已经假设我肯定是要去的,我倾向于用 I will try to 而不是 I would try to 。
LDOCE » I’d try to get there early if you can. 要是你可以早到,我也会尽量早到。
完整的表达可能就是:If I were you, and if I(= you)can get there early, I(= you) would (try to) get there early. (我是你的话,我能早到就尽量早到。)
当然,这句子上下文到底如何,是不是编辑自己造的,就不得而知了。

衍生讨论,I will 和 I would 的区别。
- What is the difference between I will try it. and I would try it. ? https://hinative.com/en-US/questions/379583
I would get there early, if you can.
I will get there early, if you can.
同为非过去时,I would 更加委婉。
