语法透视

虚拟语气：

Text:I'd kill to look like you.

解析：句中的d是would的缩写。这里表示一种对现在的情况主观不可能实现的愿望，谓语用一般过去时。影片中是Betty认为她要是长得和Whiteman那么漂亮，她就乐死了。可是事实上Betty的想法是不可能实现的。

定语从句：

Text:I'm really sorry for any pain or embarrassment or hurt that it might cause you.

解析：句中主句是I'm really sorry for any pain or embarrassment or hurt，从句是that it might cause you。这从句所修饰的先行词有三个pain，embarrassment和hurt。由于先行词是指事件又在主句总做主语，要选择关系代词。可以考虑的关系代词有2个，一个是that，一个是which，在这个句子中2个都可以用，注意不可省略。

助动词：

Text:I really did thought that those unretouched photos were beautiful.

解析：这个句子中的助动词是did，原形为do。它做助动词用放于实义动词的前面，修饰实义动词。它可以有do和did两种形式，具体要根据具体句子来看。如果句子是过去时，就用did。如果是一般时，就用do。该句子中是thought，所以用did。
