3.详细解说

 

1.“wish”后面所接的宾语从句要使用虚拟语气结构——(1)表示对现在情况的虚拟：从句中谓语动词要用“动词过去式或were”；(2)表示对过去情况的虚拟：从句中谓语动词要用“had+动词过去分词”；(3)表示对将来情况的虚拟：从句中谓语动词要用“would/could+动词原形”。例如：I wish I knew the answer.（我希望我知道答案。）I wish I hadn't said that.（我希望我没讲过那样的话，）I wish it would rain tomorrow.（我希望明天下雨就好了。）需要注意的是，在表示对过去情况的虚拟时，从句中的谓语动词有时也可以用“would/could+have+过去分词”，例如：I wish I could have seen her last night.（要是我昨天晚上能够见到她该多好。）

2.“on earth”的意思是“究竟，到底”。

 

4.文化洗礼

 

“regret”的用法

 

在这一课中大家学习了“后悔”的表达方法，可你真的掌握了“regret”的用法了吗？先来看两个错误的例句吧。

（错） In any case I didn't regret to stay at home.

（错）I now regret not to have worked harder at school.

上面两个句子的正确形式应该是：

（对 In any case I didn't regret staying at home.无论如何我都不后悔留在了家里。

（对） I now regret not having worked harder at school．我现在后悔在学校时没有努力学习了。

“regret doing something”表示“对已经做过的事情感到后悔或遗憾”。

而“regret to do”则表示“对即将要做的事情感到遗憾或抱歉”。例如：I regret to inform you that your contract will not be 

renewed.

我很遗憾地通知你，我们将不会与你续约，另外，“regret”后也可接“that从句”，具体含义要视具体情况而定。例如：

He was beginning to regret that he'd come along.

他行始后悔跟着来了。

I regret that I will be unable to attend.

很抱歉我没法出席。
