1 一个有关 if it is not to语法问题

尊敬的老师好,我在阅读中碰到该句:

  • he may ruin his life before he matures sufficiently to understand that sex is a river of fire that must be banked and cooled by a hundred restraints if it is not to consume in chaos both the individual and the group.

    关于句中的if it is not 是不是省略了什么或者调整了语序,我感觉没看懂,能不能分析下

 ...sex is a river of fire that must be banked and cooled by a hundred restraints if it is not to consume in chaos both the individual and the group.

if it(the fire) is not to comsume... 这是be to do结构用于真实条件句,对将来可能发生的条件作假设。肯定句表示如果想要某事在将来发生,否定句表示如果想要某事在将来不发生。

If we are to get there in time, we'll have to hurry up. 我们想要及时到达那里,就得赶快。

网友句子中if从句意为,如果不想让欲火耗尽..., 就必须...。
