wish后的賓語從句的虛擬語式
要表示與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反的愿望,從句謂語一般過去時(shí)或過去進(jìn)行時(shí),表示與過去相反的愿望,從句謂語用過去完成時(shí)或would / could+have +過去分詞,表示將來沒有把握或不太可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望,用would (could)+動(dòng)詞原形。如:
I wish I were not so busy. 但愿我不那樣忙碌。
I wish I could be of some use. 我希望我能有什么用處。
I wish you would be more respectful to your father. 我希望你對(duì)你父親更尊敬些。
注:從句的時(shí)態(tài)只與從句所指的時(shí)間有關(guān),而與 wish 的時(shí)態(tài)無關(guān),比較:
I wish I were rich. 要是我現(xiàn)在有錢就好了。
I wish I had been rich. 要是那時(shí)我有錢就好了。
I wished I were rich. 當(dāng)時(shí)我后悔自己沒有錢。
I wished I had been rich. 當(dāng)時(shí)我后悔自己曾經(jīng)沒有錢。
