The phrase "or else" can express that there will be a bad result, if something doesn"t happen. For example, "We"d better leave now or else we"ll be late." This means "If we don"t leave now, we will be late."

短语"or else (不然，否则)"用来表达如果某事没有发生，会产生一个不好的结果。比如："We"d better leave now or else we"ll be late. (我们最好现在出发不然就要迟到了)"。 这句话的意思是"If we don"t leave now, we will be late. (如果我们现在不出发，我们就会迟到)"。

Similarly, in today"s lesson, the speaker says"Can you enlarge my eyes a bit? Not too much though or else it"ll look fake." Here she means, "If you don"t listen to me, and you make my eyes too large, it will look fake."

同样，在今天的课程中，说话者说到"Can youenlarge my eyes a bit? Not too much thoughor else it"ll look fake. (你能把我的眼睛放大一点吗？也别太大了，不然看起来会很假。)" 这里她的意思是："If you don"t listen to me, and you make my eyes too large, it will look fake. (如果你没听我的，而把我的眼睛放太大的话，看起来就会很假)"。

This phrase is frequently used to give advice, warnings, or threaten someone. When threatening someone, we can also just say"or else" with nothing after. "You should apologize or else!" Here it is understood that something bad will happen if you don"t apologize.

这个短语常常用于给出建议、警告或者威胁某人。当威胁某人的时候，"or else (不然，否则)"后面也可以不接其他内容。"You shouldapologize or else! (你应该道歉，不然有你好看的！)" 这里可以理解成如果你不道歉的话不好的事情就会发生。

Here is the pattern:

结构为：

Advice/warning + or else + bad result.

建议/警告 + or else + 不好的结果。

Positive sentence:

肯定句：

You should leave now or else you will bearrested.

你现在就得离开，不然你会被逮捕的。

Meaning: If you don"t leave now, you will bearrested.

意思是：如果你现在不离开，你会被逮捕的。

Negative sentence:

否定句：

Don"t use too much makeup or else you"lllook like a clown.

不要化太浓的妆不然你会看起来像个小丑。

Meaning: If you use too much makeup, youwill look like a clown.

意思是：如果你化了太浓的妆，你会看起来像个小丑。

(Notice that when the "or else" sentence isnegative, it becomes positive when wechange it to "if.")

(注意，当"or else"原句是否定句时，改写成"if"句之后会变成肯定句。)
