Conditionals

Mixed conditionals and wish structures

简介

混合虚拟条件句在一个句子里结合不同的时间维度，让你表达过去和现在之间的复杂关系。"If I had studied medicine, I would be a doctor now."（如果我当初学了医，我现在就是医生了。）

"wish"和"if only"结构表达对过去、现在和未来的愿望，每种都有自己的语法规则。它们对表达遗憾、沮丧和渴望来说必不可少。

中文里"要是当初……就好了""真希望……"表达类似的概念，但英语通过不同的时态组合来精确区分这些含义。掌握这些高级虚拟条件结构，你就能在时间维度上自由表达假设性的想法。
