90.They were not to get away with it(他们必不能侥幸逃脱),if they continued to break the law.

问题描述:

90.They were not to get away with it(他们必不能侥幸逃脱),if they continued to break the law.
上面这个翻译中为什么不用can not 表示啊

一般将来时那里有一个语法点
be to do sth.将要……、
那么
were to do sth.将会……
were not to do sth.
they were not to get away with it 他们将不能逃脱,有点表示未来趋势的感觉,跟他们必不能逃脱差不多
个人意见.
