有这样一题:
Alice, we are going to spend our holiday in Canada. But, if you ______, we can go to China instead. A. hope                   B. wish                     C. prefer                 D. agree

此题答案应选B。if you wish 为口语惯用语,意为“如果你愿意的话”。请看以下例句:You may come if you wish. 你要来就来吧。We’ll fix the price, if you wish. 你要是愿意,我们来把价格确定一下。Stay in the foyer if you wish, but bear in mind (that) the performance begins in two minutes. 要是你愿意,就在休息室里待一会儿吧,可是别 wish, but bear in mind (that) the performance begins in two minutes. You can contract out of the pension scheme if you wish. 你愿意的话,可以退出这个养老金计划。上面一题的意思是:爱丽丝,我们打算到加拿大去度假,但是,如果你愿意的话,我们可以改去中国。
