“If he was, the first bolt 25 enough.
答案：(D) would have been
本句是與過去事實相反的假設：「如果上帝真要找我麻煩，第一道雷早就夠了」——事實是他被擊中多次，故主要子句用 would have been；was、had been 不能作主要子句的動詞形式，would be 則指向現在或未來。

看到 If he was，你大概會判定這是單純的過去式條件句。其實這句出自口語，正式寫法是 If he were——口語常用 was 代替 were，但整句仍是假設語氣。判準不在 if 子句，在主要子句。
if 子句 If he was（＝were）講的是「上帝現在是否在找我麻煩」，屬於與現在事實相反；主要子句 would have been 講的是「當年那第一道雷」，屬於與過去事實相反。兩個子句時間點不同，公式是 If + 過去式／were, 主詞 + would have + p.p.（現在的假設條件 → 過去的結果）。標準例句：If I were a man, they would have given me the job.（假如我是男的，當年那份工作就會給我了）。
說話者被閃電擊中過很多次，他說「如果上帝真要找我麻煩，第一道雷就夠了」——言下之意是他挨了不只一道卻還活著。結果落在過去，所以用 would have been。
If I were you, I would…（與現在事實相反，結果也在現在）；本題只是把結果挪到過去。
would have + p.p.（與過去事實相反）、If I were you…（假如我是你）、be after sb（找某人麻煩）、be struck by lightning（被閃電擊中）。
Being hit by lightning is a rare event. Over the course of an 80-year life span, the odds of being hit by lightning are 1 in 3,000, 21 the probability of being struck seven different times. Roy Sullivan, a park ranger in the United States, was struck by lightning more recorded times than any other human being. Over his 36-year career, Sullivan was struck by lightning seven times—and 22 each shock!
Strikes one, two, and three were pure bad luck, he thought. But after strike four, Sullivan became 23 death and took precautions during lightning strikes. Strike five occurred in 1973 when Sullivan was on patrol. A storm cloud "chased" him until he was struck. The same thing happened again in 1976. Sullivan, while surveying a campground, felt that a cloud was 24 him, and tried all he could to run— but it got him anyway.
Finally, on 25 June 1977, a seventh and final bolt struck Sullivan as he was fishing in a pond. "I don't believe God is after me," he theorized. "If he was, the first bolt 25 enough. Best I can figure is that I have some chemical, some mineral, in my body that draws lightning. I just wish I knew."
