Life has taught me that sometimes when people behave badly with you, it is because of some unhappiness that they are carrying around with them, (23) that has nothing to do with you. I wish I (24) more gentle with people in that situation and not reacted so angrily. (25) you find out what's really going on, the whole relationship can change.
- had been
- was
- can be
- would be
提示
句意表達我希望自己(過去)能更溫和一點,是與過去事實相反的願望,注意wish子句的時態規則。
正確答案
正解：A
詳解
A. wish後接與過去事實相反的假設,子句動詞須用過去完成式had been,呼應後面not reacted,為正解。
B. was是簡單過去式,只能表達與現在事實相反的wish,不符合此處與過去對應的語意。
C. can be是現在式,不符合wish後接假設語氣的文法規則。
D. would be用於表示對未來的假設,與wish接過去式假設的規則不符。
