"Otherwise."

Here, '否则' serves as a conjunction introducing the alternative negative condition if the preceding action is not carried out.

Please complete the task, otherwise bear the consequences.

In this case, '否则' links the necessity of the preceding clause to the negative outcome mentioned after it.

Start quickly; otherwise, we'll miss the train.

'否则' is used to indicate the result of not complying with the required action or condition in the initial clause.
