"If I were a carpenter and you were a lady, would you marry me?" are part of the lyrics of a popular English song.  Here were is used after if to express something which is not a fact or not possible, for example "If I were you....." or "If you were me.....".  Remember conditional tense, or the use of the word would, is to follow such phrases to express a hypothetical situation.

Examples
  • Peter is such a nice fellow, if I were you I would marry him.
  • If I were a millionaire, I would buy you a house.
  • If I were to take the examination again, I would study harder. 
"如果我是一个木匠,你是一位高贵女士 ,你会嫁给我吗............"是一首英文流行歌曲的歌词。该字 were 跟 if 表达一些不是事实或不可能的事情。例如:“如果我是你....." 或 “如果你是我.....".请记接着该等词句须用条件时态 would 以表达一种假设情况, 正如中文用法"如果我是你,我会............."。
