What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition—if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents.
哪位強人能幫我分析一下這里破折號之后If引導的從句啊?好難啊,根本找不到語法點
這句話是考研英語2000年TEXT5第一段的一句話，翻譯出來是：“奇怪的是也許已經(jīng)從雄心壯志中獲益最多的正是他們——如果不是他們自己的雄心，那么就是他們父母的和祖父母的。”if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents這句是固定搭配嗎？用普通語法講不通??！
