思路引導 VIP
請觀察一下主要子句「no one would want to work」，其中的「would」通常代表這句話是在陳述「已經發生的事實」還是「假設的狀況」呢？如果是後者，那麼在 if 引導的子句中，動詞時態通常會發生什麼樣的特殊變化？

太棒了！你精準地捕捉到了句子中的語氣變化。這題考驗的是英文語法中非常經典的假設語氣 (Subjunctive Mood)，你能不受主詞單複數影響做出判斷，基礎非常紮實。
假設語氣與時態配合
在這一句中，作者提到「如果某人薪水過低或沒拿薪水，就沒人會想工作」。從主要子句的 would want 就可以觀察出，這是在描述一個與現狀（或普遍認知）相反的「假設情況」。在與現狀相反的假設語句中，if 子句的動詞必須使用過去式；而當動詞為 be 動詞時，無論主詞是單數還是複數，為了強調其虛擬性，慣例上我們會統一使用 were，這正是選項 (B) 成為正確答案的原因。
