影集《六人行》(Friends)經典對話中英對照:I wish I could, but I don’t want to. 但願我可以,但我不想。
wish 共有三種用法,說明如下 |
wish用法1: 表示祝福,句型: wish + object + adj/ noun e.g. I wish you good luck. 我祝你好運。 e.g. I wished you a pleasant journey. 我祝你旅程愉快。 e.g. I wish you a merry Xmas. 我祝你聖誕快樂。 注意: wish後面不能接that子句 |
wish用法2 : 表示但願某事發生,但事與願違。(所以是與事實不符,是講述過去的事) e.g. I wish (that) I were you. 如果我是你就好了。(但我不是你) e.g. I wish I had passed the test. 我希望我考試有過。(但我沒有) e.g. I wish you hadn’t stolen my heart. 我多希望你沒有偷走我的心!(事實上我的心已經被你偷走了) |
wish 用法3: wish + to + 不定詞 [1] e.g. Study harder if you wish to get higher grades. 如果你想要取得更高分,就要更努力學習。 |
[1] wish這裡的意思是「想要」,意思等同want,算是比want更優雅一點的說法。
