在语篇中感知虚拟语气
(A journalist was interviewing a prisoner in a prison.)
J=Journalist P=Prisoner
If only there were no regrets in life!
...
J: Do you regret about it?
P: Of course. I wish I had controlled myself then. If she had not abused or insulted my mother, I would not have shouted at her. If she hadn’t rushed at me, she couldn’t have died.
J:If you had been given a chance to choose again at that time, what would you have done?
P: I would have reported to the police.
J: What do you think of your present life here?
P: I hate this place. I live as if I were dead. If I could choose, I would leave here as soon as possible. I would rather beg in the street than be locked here.
J: How do you feel about the victim? If she were alive, how would you face her?
P: I would say sorry to her and her family. I might have been patient and calm even if she was insulting my mother. Now I wish she were having a peaceful life in heaven. May her family live happily!
J: What’s your plan or wish for future?
P: Life seems as though everything were dark. But if I should be set free soon, I would begin again.
J: Do you have any suggestion for other people?
P: I strongly advise everyone should stay calm, whatever happens.
