请教语法（张振民）

WalkByFaith

Building large new hospital in the bistate area would constitute a wasteful use of resources, on the basis of avoidance of duplicated facilities alone
(A) on the basis of avoidance of duplicated facilities alone
(B)on the grounds of avoiding duplicated facilities
(C)solely in that duplicated facilities should be avoided
(D)while the duplication of facilities should be avoided
(E)if only because the duplication of facilities should be avoided

If only 在这里是什么意思，另外，IF ONLY 使用的时候不是要用虚拟的吗？
为什么解释中说，IF ONLY 可以代替ALONE 呢？

WTO

if only

a) used to express a strong wish, especially when you know that what you want cannot happen
If only he had talked to her sooner! If only I weren't so tired！强调语气，虚拟，知道是不可能发生的

b) used to give a reason for something, although you think it is not a good one
Media studies is regarded as a more exciting subject, if only because it's new.

虽然你知道这似乎看起来不能算个好理由，但怎么着也算个理由把

只能把if only当做某种修饰成分修饰着because

张振民?? 什么时候冒出来的

点醒梦中人！！

非常感谢

还是想问下

有人说IF 是修饰ONLY BECAUSE 的

到底哪个对呢

apply1

if only beacuse

有4种观点

1.if only强调语气（要是。。。。。。虚拟）

2.if only，【used to give a reason for something, although you think it is not a good one】

3.if 引导条件状语从句，only修饰beceuse

4.if only because是一体的

我倾向于1和2

longman的解释中1和2都有，我觉的也都说的通，

1.要是复制应该避免，则建造。。。将是浪费资源

2.仅仅因为（语气上就是说就算是条理由吧），建造。。。将是浪费资源，因为是复制应该避免（这是个什么破理由？！现在暂且凑合算个理由吧）

2更好一点

我觉的以后看到if only because就背下来，现在大家的意见和以前的帖子的建议就是这样4分5裂的
