"Not if I can help it" -> nghĩa là tôi sẽ không làm việc đó đâu, sẽ không để việc đó xảy ra đâu.

Ví dụ
Quote of the weekend: 'BBC just said this was 'sobering (chín chắn) news'. Not if I can help it,' said Simon Blackwell, co-writer of political satire (châm biếm) The Thick Of It, after the announcement that Boris had cancelled Christmas. 

“I was five days in Raigmore when the doctor came to me and told me that he was going to put me to sleep. I asked him if I was going to die, and he said, ‘No, not if I can help it.’ "I phoned Alan and I phoned my sister Elizabeth, and told them what was going to happen. Alan was struggling with his health at home, and then I was put to sleep.

“We’re not going to let this get out of control, not if I can help it, but I need everyone to pitch in (phối hợp) – especially on the days when you don’t want to.” De Villa joined CP24 on Wednesday afternoon to answer coronavirus-related questions.

Now that I’ve had a break and I’m back to full fitness, I’m dusting down (tiếp tục thử lại sau khi thất bại) the cv. If I can’t get a full-time job in coaching, I’ll do something part-time. I’m not going to finish just yet, not if I can help it.
