I can't change what's already happened. So there's no value in wishing it were different.
语音讲解:
今日发音练习重点:
1. change 包含易错音组/e?n/;注意前后辅音/t?/&/d?/;
2. value in 词间元元连读+/w/ ;注意区分/w/ /v/。
言之有物:
1. 词链儿:what's already happened
= what has already happened 已经发生的事情
2. 词链儿:there's no value in doing XX
做XX是没有价值的
This is not to say that we should assume there is no value in teaching and tradition.
这并不是说,我们就该认为教育和传统是没有价值的。

相似句式:

there's no point in doing XX 做XX是没有用的/没有意义的
there's no sense in doing XX 做XX是没有意义的

3. 词链儿:wish it were different 虚拟语气

wish v. 希望〔不可能或可能性很小的事成为现实〕
近义表达:if only 但愿、要是…就好了

=If only I were taller.
我要是个子高一些就好了。
