英語早間課堂:S wish S were ( or did ).
In future we will come to a new unit. However I am just as the same to let the answers out in the open to the translation exercises left in the last programme. Last time we learned two sentence patterns: 1 If S had done, S would be doing . 2 If S had done, S would do.這兩個句式是假設(shè)過去的情況如何，現(xiàn)在的情況如何。但是句中所講的過去的情況與過去的事實相反，現(xiàn)在的情況又與現(xiàn)在的事實相反。
【習(xí)題答案及點評】
1 如果你那時更努力一點的話，你現(xiàn)在的情況會好得多。
If you had worked harder, your condition would be much better.
【點評】
1 該句子中有很明顯的時間狀語“那時”“現(xiàn)在”，因此用錯綜虛擬條件句。
2 此句話言外之意就是：You didn't work harder then and your condition isn't much better now.
2 如果你那時聽了醫(yī)生的勸告，你現(xiàn)在就好了。
If you had followed the doctor's order, you would be all right.

3 要不是醫(yī)生的照顧，我現(xiàn)在不會跟你站在這兒講話。
If it hadn't been for doctors' care, I wouldn't be speaking to you here.
【點評】此句話言外之意就是：Just because of the doctor's care before and I wouldn’t be speaking to you here now.
4 如果她昨天就把功課預(yù)習(xí)好了，她現(xiàn)在在課堂上就能回答老師的問題了。

【今日主題】
I am about to have a sentence pattern out. It is : S wish S was ( were ) . 這個句式是表示某人希望某人或某事在現(xiàn)在或者是將來的情況如何。In this sentence "wish" means "to want something to happen or to be true even through it is unlikely or impossible". 希望(不大可能的事兒)發(fā)生，懷著(不可能實現(xiàn)的)愿望。 S was ( were )...是這個句子的賓語從句，因此從句中要用虛擬語氣：表示某人純?nèi)恢饔^的想法，這個事情發(fā)生的可能性微乎其微或者是不可能發(fā)生的。
光陰似箭，一直擔(dān)任俄羅斯國家芭蕾團(tuán)首席的Jane要退役了，她對將頂替她這個首席職位的年輕演員說道：I wish I were as young as you. (備注：were可以改為was )真希望我和你一樣年輕。
Here I want to say S wish S was ( were )... 這個句型中， "was" is often used in American English and "were" is often used in British English. And " S was ( were )..." is an object clause introduced by that which is nearly always left out , especially in speech. 在英式英語中，賓語從句中的系動詞用were, 而在美式英語中常用 was. 此外， S was ( were )...是由that 而引導(dǎo)的一個賓語從句，that經(jīng)常省去，特別是在口語中。
The above sentence "I wish I were as young as you." 這個賓語從句中講述的是一種狀態(tài)，如果我們要說“動作”了，the sentence pattern is : S wish S did. (備注：這個did指的是動詞的任何過去形式，一般過去式，過去進(jìn)行時等等。)同窗五載，2010屆的學(xué)生將告別母校，踏上舞蹈事業(yè)的征程，在畢業(yè)晚會上，大家齊聲痛聲哭道：How we wish it went so fast!真希望時間不要走得太快。
好不容易有個周某，車友會們都約好了去郊外放松一下，下起來傾盆大雨，大家都遺憾的說道: How we wish it wasn't raining. 要是現(xiàn)在不下雨該多好呀!
【溫故知新】
Please translate the following sentences into English using "S wish S was ( were ) ..." or "S wish S did."1 真希望現(xiàn)在我能幫助你。
2 但愿我知道將要發(fā)生什么事情。
3 我個子要是再高點就好了。
4 —— 你知道她在哪兒嗎?
—— 要是我知道就好了。
5 我希望你不要把衣服弄得滿地都是。
6 我希望我是一只會飛的鳥兒。
7 我真希望你現(xiàn)在就在復(fù)習(xí)功課。
