'If only'比'I wish'更强调地表达愿望。过去简单时表示现在/未来的愿望：'If only I had more time!'（要是我有更多时间就好了！）过去完成时表示对过去的遗憾：'If only I had studied harder!'（要是我学习更努力就好了！）
'If only' expresa deseos de manera más enfática que 'I wish.' Pasado simple para deseos presentes/futuros: 'If only I had more time!' Pasado perfecto para arrepentimientos: 'If only I had studied harder!'
「If only」は「I wish」よりも強調して願望を表します。過去単純形は現在/未来の願望：「If only I had more time!」過去完了形は過去への後悔：「If only I had studied harder!」
'If only'는 'I wish'보다 더 강조적으로 소망을 표현한다. 현재/미래 소망에는 과거 시제: 'If only I had more time!' 과거 후회에는 과거완료: 'If only I had studied harder!'
