should that happen, I would ask you to find some way to suppress your libido.

在省略了if的虛擬條件句中（把were, had或should移至主語前），采用部分倒裝。
如：
① Were she here, she would help us. 她要是在這兒，她會幫助我們的。
(=If she were here, she would help us.)
　　
② Had China not been liberated in 1949, my uncle would have suffered cruel exploitation by landlords and died of hunger.
如果不是1949年中國解放的話，我舅父會遭受地主的殘酷剝削，并且會餓死的。
(=If China had not been liberated in1949, my uncle would have suffered cruel exploitation by landlords and died of hunger.)
　　
③ Should the imperialists dare to start a new war, it would mean their end.
如果帝國主義膽敢發動新的戰爭，那就意味著它的完蛋。
(=If the imperialists should dare start a new war, it would mean their end.)
　　
suppress：抑制（感情等）

libido：性欲，本能沖動

peace out：（美口）= see you soon

在美國英語俚語中主要的意思是“再見” ，也就是“See you later”的非正式說法。但有些時候也用作“殺、打死”；“滾開”的意思。對于朋友之間當然沒問題,不熟的人最好不要這么說
