[已解决问题] 一句英译中should的问题。
This week work began on a project to re-establish agriculture should such a calamity occur.
主要是句中should such a calamity occur是否省略if？
语法现象是否为虚拟语气？
倒装？
能否再举一个类似的例子？
原文如下：
IF CATASTROPHE were to befall humanity—be it plague, nuclear war or an asteroid striking the Earth—what provision could be made for the survivors? 《This week work began on a project to re-establish agriculture should such a calamity occur. 》On a remote Arctic island, a vault is being dug to house the seeds of up to 3m different crops, as part of plans to protect food supplies across the world.

最佳答案
同意LZ，should such a calamity occur是一个省略了if 的虚拟条件从句，即 if such a calamity should occur
在这种以if 引导的虚拟语气的条件从句中，可采用倒装语序，把条件从句中的should, had, were提前到从句句首。
又如：---Should he call, tell him to wait for me at home. 如果他找我，告诉他在家等我。
----Were he here, he would support me. 如果他在，他会支持我。
