I wish she were not married. 我真希望她沒結婚。

I wish the bus went to the university. 我希望公共汽車能通到大學。

I wish I hadn’t wasted so much money. 但愿我沒浪費這么多錢。

注意，從句的時態只與從句所指的時間有關，而與 wish 的時態無關。比較：

I wish I were rich. 要是我現在有錢就好了。

I wish I had been rich. 要是那時我有錢就好了。

I wished I were rich. 當時我后悔自己沒有錢。

I wished I had been rich. 當時我后悔自己曾經沒有錢。

4. 英語中，would rather, had rather, would sooner等之后的賓語從句常表示與客觀事實不相符的一種愿望，故使用虛擬語氣。其虛擬語氣的結構為：

例如：

I’d rather you had seen the film yesterday. 我倒想你昨天看過了這場電影。

I’d rather you were here now. 我倒想你現在在這兒。

We’d rather you went here tomorrow. 我么倒想你明天去那兒。

四、主語從句中的虛擬語氣

在表達驚異、惋惜、遺憾、理應如此等意義的主語從句中常使用虛擬語氣，其虛擬語其的結構為： should + 動詞原形，主句中的謂語動詞形式不限。

句型：

(1) It is admirable / dreadful / extraordinary / odd / remarkable / sad / advisable / annoying / disappointing / surprising / upsetting / frightening / better / best / curious / desirable / important / strange / peculiar / proper / necessary / natural...that...

(2) It is a pity / a shame / no wonder...that...

(3) It is suggested / requested / desired / proposed /... that...

(4) It worries me that...

如：

It is important that we should do well in our lessons first. 我們先把功課學好很重要。

It is strange that he should not come. 很奇怪，他竟沒有來。

It is a pity that we should not meet last night. 真遺憾我們昨天晚上沒有見過面。

It worries me that we should be blamed for that. 我們竟要受責備真讓人煩惱。
