What would you do if you were a millionaire?

　你若是百萬富翁, 你會怎麼做？

本問句的if子句中使用了be動詞的過去式were, 且主要子句 (即問句) 亦使用了助動詞will的過去式would, 故屬與現在事實相反的假設語氣。萬萬不可寫出下列的句子:

What will you do if you were a millionaire? (╳)

注意本篇閱讀的最後一句:

If my dream comes true, I will be very happy because I will be doing my country a good service.

我的夢想若實現的話, 我將會很高興, 因為我將對國家大有貢獻。

表示夢想的『實現』有下列數種說法:

Thanks to his hard work, his dream has come true.

=Thanks to his hard work, his dream has been realized.

由於他的努力, 他的夢想實現了。

＊realize vt. 實現(夢想)
