This is Everyday Grammar. I'm Kaveh
欢迎收看《每日语法》栏目，我是卡维。
And I'm Lucija. Is there something you can't do, but you wish you could?
我是露西佳。有什么事是你做不到，但希望做到的？
Do you know of something that will not happen tomorrow, but you wish it would?
你知道什么事明天不会发生，但却希望发生？
This is fun! How about this one:
这很有趣！这个如何：
Are there things you don't know, but you wish you knew?
有什么是你不知道，但希望自己知道的？
How about just wishing to know the correct way to use the verb Wish?
我希望知道如何正确使用动词Wish怎么样？
That might be wishful thinking! But let's try!
这可能是一厢情愿的想法！但我们试试！
English speakers use the verb Wish to express the desire for something that seems difficult to get.
说英语的人用动词Wish来表达对似乎难以达成之事的渴望。
They generally use Wish before a noun clause,
他们通常在名词从句前使用Wish，
a group of words with a subject and a predicate.
名词从句是一组带有主语和谓语的单词。
Speakers make wishes about the future, present and past.
说话者会对未来、现在和过去许愿。
Let's look at a statement about the future.
我们看一句关于未来的陈述。
Tom can't come to the office tomorrow.
汤姆明天不能来办公室了。
How would the statement change if the speaker were to express a wish about Tom?
如果说话者想要表达对汤姆的希望，这个陈述句应该怎么改变？
I wish Tom could come to the office tomorrow.
我希望汤姆明天能来办公室。
Here, the speaker is actually expressing this pleasure that Tom would not be at the office.
这里，说话者实际上是在表达汤姆不会在办公室的喜悦。
They want Tom at the office.
他们想要汤姆在办公室。
It's strange, but even though the speaker is expressing a Wish about the future,
很奇怪，说话者表达的是对未来的愿望，
they're using the past tense,
却用得过去时。
in this case, Could, the past tense of the modal verb Can.
这个例子中用的是Could，情态动词Can的过去时。
I wish Tom could come to the office tomorrow.
我希望汤姆明天能来办公室。
"Tom will tell me the truth." is a another example.
另一个例子“汤姆会告诉我真相。”
If you know Tom will not tell you the truth, you could say:
如果你知道汤姆不会告诉你真相，你可能会说：
I wish Tom would tell me the truth.
我希望汤姆能告诉我真相。
And that's Everyday Grammar.
以上就是今天的全部内容。
