悔不當初，指后悔不在當初采取另一種行動。出自唐代薛昭緯《謝銀工》詩：“早知文字多辛苦，悔不當初學冶銀。”

Wish and If only

談論后悔的事、過去和現在想改變的事情

Talking about the present

談論現在

eg.

?If only I didn’t have so much homework I could go to the concert tonight. She has a lot of homework and she can’t go to the concert.

?I wish you didn’t live so far away.

?I wish I knew what to do.

當我們談到現在后悔的事，wish和if only都跟過去一般時。過去時強調我們談論的是不真實的事情。

Talking about the past

談論過去

eg.

?I wish I’d studied harder when I was at school. He didn’t study harder when he was at school.

?I wish I hadn’t eaten all that chocolate. I feel sick.

?If only I’d known you were coming.

當談論過去后悔的事，wish和if only都跟過去完成時。

Wish/if only and would

我們使用wish + would談論我們想改變的過去的事——通常時候我們發現很懊惱的事情。

eg.

?I wish you wouldn’t borrow my clothes without asking.

?I wish it would rain. The garden really needs some water.

?I wish you’d give up smoking. it’s really bad for you.
NB We can only use wish + would to talk about things we can’t change.

注：我們只能用wish + would談論我們不能改變的事。
