五、虚拟语气在宾语从句(Subordinate Clasue)中的用法:
5.1 在wish后的虚拟语气宾语从句(可省略它的that):
表示:a.和现在的事实相反;
b.和过去的事实相反;
c.对将来的主观愿望。
5.1.1 现在情况的虚拟,从句用过去式或过去进行式(时间上是同时的):
1. I wish (that可省略,下同)I knew the answer to the question.
(wish, 动词过去式 knew)
我希望知道这个答案。(事实上是不知道)
2. I wish it were spring in my hometown all the year around.
(wish, were)
但愿我的家乡四季如春。(事实上不可能)
3. I wish I were a bird.(wish, were)
但愿我是只小鸟。(事实上不可能,难道是鸟人?呵呵)
4. When she was at the party,she wished she were at home.
(wished,过去虚拟动词were)(事实上并不在家)
5. Now that he is in China, he wishes he understood Chinese.
(wishes,过去虚拟动词understood)
现在他在中国,他希望能懂得中文。(事实上并不懂)
6. When we begin the trip, they will wish they were with us.
(will wish,过去虚拟动词were)(事实上并不和我们在一起)
5.1.2 过去情况的虚拟,从句动词用\"had + 过去分词\"(时间上较前):
1. I wish (that可省略,下同)I hadn\'t wasted so much time.
我后悔不该浪费这么多时间。(事实上已浪费了)
2. He wishes he hadn\'t lost the chance.
他真希望没有失去机会。(其实已失去)
3. We wished he had spoken to us.
(wished,had + spoken)(事实上他并没同我们讲)
4. I wish you had called earlier.
(wish, had + called)(事实上已迟了)
5. They will wish they had listened to us sooner.
(will wish,had + listened)(事实上并不如此)
5.1.3 将来情况的虚拟(表示将来的主观愿望),从句动词用\"would/should/could/might + 动词原形\"(时间上较后):
(请注意:主句和从句的主语不相同喔)
1. I wish it would stop raining.(虚拟动词would+动词原形stop)
我希望雨能停止。(事实上雨还在下着呢)
2. I wish you would be quiet.(would + be)
我希望你安静一些。(事实上那家伙还在吵着呢)
3. You wished she would arrive the next day.(would + arrive)
你希望她第二天会到。(事实上她还没到)

我希望她会改变主意。(呵呵,女孩子可没那么容易就改变主意喔)
5. He will wish we would join him the following week.(would + join)
(只是希望我们和他在一起,实际上还没在一起)
为了这个wish的部份,可花了我不少时间喔。I wish you would appreciate my work.
