语法讲解

1.Let's all just enjoy this wonderful place.

【语法讲解】let's中的us包括对方，若不包括对方，则用Let us。
Let's say good-by here. 我们在此道别吧。
Let us know the time of your arrival . 告诉我们你到达的时间（us不包括对方）

2.I wish she were here with us to enjoy the country

【语法讲解】wish 和hope都能接that引导的从句，但wish后的从句的谓语动词要用虚拟语气（动词用过去时，或过去完成时），hope则用所需要的时态。
I wish that I knew the answer. 我希望我知道这个答案。
I hope that he will win the game. 我希望他会赢得这场比赛。

3.If only we could bottle the fresh air.

[语法讲解]在if only这个短语中，中心词是从属连接词if, 而副词only只是加强if的语气的，因此，if only仅仅是if的一种强化形式，不仅能表达说话人的愿望，而且能表达条件。因此，它同if一样，也能引出条件状语从句。
If only they were here now, we would be able to celebrate their wedding anniversary.如果他们现在在这里，我们就能庆祝他们的结婚纪念日了。
