要不是

要不是yàobushì被bèi绊bàn了le一下yīxià，我wǒ原本yuánběn能néng赢yíng的de。

I would've won if I hadn't tripped.

要不是yàobushì你nǐ提醒tíxǐng我wǒ，无论如何wúlùnrúhé也yě想xiǎng不bù起来qǐlai。

Without your reminder, I would never have thought of it.

要不是yàobushì他tā这么zhème磨磨蹭蹭mómócèngcèng，现在xiànzài早zǎo做完zuòwán了le。

If he hadn't wasted time, he'd be finished by now.

要不是yàobushì当初dāngchū有yǒu内战nèizhàn，他们tāmen现在xiànzài应该yīnggāi挺tǐng富裕fùyù了le。

If it had not been for civil war, they would be wealthy now.
