1. I miss you so much. (真遺憾你不能在我走之前回來!) What a pity you won’t be back before I leave!
2. Look at the bread left over on the table. (把這些食物浪費掉多可惜!) What a pity (it is) to waste the food!
3. If only Mary could see this wonderful scene. (她不在這里，真遺憾!) What a pity she isn’t here!
4. In one of his plays, Joseph Addison wrote: (可惜我們只能為國捐軀一次!) “What a pity that we can die only once for our country!”
5. Television and the difficulty of financing plays have helped to close many theatres. (現(xiàn)今舞臺上的一些表演只有這么少的人來觀看，真遺憾!) What a pity that some of the best acting on stage today can only be seen by so few people!
6. (可惜你不會游泳。) What a pity you can’t swim. Otherwise you could have a much more enjoyable time here in Hawaii.
