If I were you, I'd join the gym because it's a good way to stay healthy, and it might help you build a stronger relationship with your colleagues.

参考译文 如果我是你，我会去健身房，因为这是保持健康的好方法，还可能有助于你与同事建立更牢固的关系。

难点突破 if引导的条件状语从句If I were you采用的是虚拟语气，表示与现在事实相反的假设，意为“如果我是你”，该表达在口语中很常用。需特别注意的是，即使该从句的主语为I，其对应的系动词也应为were，而非was。主句用了情态动词I'd (I would)，同样表示一种假设的情况。

stay healthy意为“保持健康”，与其意义相同的表达还有keep fit。

build a relationship with sb.表示“与某人建立关系”，其中build可以替换为establish，如：I have established a good working relationship with my boss. 我与老板已经建立起良好的工作关系。

考点归纳 在口语中if引导的条件状语从句使用虚拟语气时一般有以下几种情况：

表示与现在事实相反的假设，从句采用一般过去时，主句谓语部分为would/should +动词原形，如：

If they were here, they would help us. 他们要是在这儿的话就会帮我们。

表示与过去事实相反的假设，从句采用过去完成时had done，主句谓语部分为should/would + have done，如：

1) If you had worked harder, you would have succeeded . 你要是再努力一些就会成功了。

2) If you had come yesterday, I should have told you about it. 要是你昨天来了，我就会把这件事告诉你。

表示对将来情况的假设，从句可采用一般过去时、were +不定式、should +动词原形，主句谓语部分为should/would +动词原形，如：

If you succeeded / were to succeed / should succeed , everything would be all right. 你要是成功了，一切都会变好的。
