如果不是瑪麗在最后時(shí)刻戳穿騙局，這個(gè)陰謀就可能得逞。
The plot might well have succeeded of Mary had not given the show away at the last minute.
嚴格地說(shuō)，天主教徒的配偶如果不是天主教徒而又拒絕按照天主教的儀式結婚，那么這個(gè)天主教徒才是脫離了原屬教派與其他教派的人結了婚。
On the strictest interpretation, a Catholic is only marrying out of the faith if his partner is a non-Catholic and refuses to be married according to the rites of the Catholic Church.
如果不是因為這個(gè)缺點(diǎn)，我會(huì )馬上雇用他。
If it were not for this defect, I shall hire him at once.
