2012.01.19. - Még egy kis bárcsak

IF ONLY - még egy kifejezés, és ez is bárcsak:-)

Még egy utolsó dolgot jegyezz meg a témával kapcsoltban: az I WISH helyett használhatod az IF ONLY kifejezést is, mert ez ugyanazt jelenti. Nézzünk erre is egy-két példát:

I wish I was more patient.= If only I was more patient.= Bárcsak türelmesebb lennék.
I wish I could ride a bicycle.= If only I could ride a bicycle. = Bárcsak tudnék biciklizni.
I wish he would study for his exams.= If only he would study for his exams. = Bárcsak tanulna a vizsgáira.
I wish I hadn't shouted at Ann yesterday. = If only I hadn't shouted at Ann yesterday. = Bárcsak nem kiabáltam volna rá Ann-re tegnap.

Ezt illusztrálandó, ismét hallgassunk meg egy dal. Most az Aqua zenekartól, a Turn back time című régi slágert.

AQUA: TURN BACK TIME

http://www.5percangol.hu/cikk/aqua_turn_back_time/

Give me time to reason,
give me time to think it through
Passing through the season,
where I cheated you

I will always have a cross to wear,
but the bolt reminds me I was there

So give me strength,
to face this test tonight

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night. For the night...

Claim your right to science
Claim your right to see the truth
Though my pangs of conscience,
Will drill a hole in you

I seen it coming like a thief in the night,
I seen it coming from the flash of your light

So give me strength,
to face this test tonight

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time..
I would stay

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

If only I could
If only I could

If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

If only I could
If only I could

If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night
