用法总结
This conditional is used when the result will always happen.So,if water reaches 100
degrees,it always boils.It's a fact.I'm talking in general,not about one particular
situation.
当结果总是会发生时使用零条件句。所以，如果水达到100度，它总是沸腾。这
是一个事实。这里指的是一般的正常情况，不是某个特定的情况。
The 'if'in this conditional can usually be replaced by 'when'without changing the
meaning.
此条件中的“if”通常可以替换为“when”,其含义不变。
For example:
If water reaches 100 degrees,it boils.
(It is always true,there can't be a different result sometimes).
例如：
如果水达到100度，就会沸腾。
(这是一个科学事实)。
If I eat peanuts,I am sick.
(This is true only for me,maybe,not for everyone,but it's still true that I'm sick every
time I eat peanuts).
如果我吃花生，我就生病。
(只有我才是这样，也许不是每个人都是这样，但每次吃花生我都会生病)。
The difference between the first and the zero conditionals is that the first conditional
is about a specific situation,but the zero is talking in general.
第一条件句和零条件句的区别在于，第一条件句是关于一个特定情况的，而零条
件句是指一般情况。
