特别注意:
从句的时态只与从句所指的时间有关,而与 wish 的时态无关,比较:
I wish I were rich 要是我现在有钱就好了。
I wish I had been rich.要是那时我有钱就好了。
I wished I were rich 当时我后悔自己没有钱。
另外,分享一个词典上的疑似错误用法:
《韦氏高阶英汉双解词典》第1416页now词条
I wish I knew then what I know now. 当初我知道这些就好了。
——我一直很困惑这个句子,现在分享给大家一起研究讨论。
是不是应该使用:
I wish I had known then what I know now.
请大家一起参与讨论!
