Question

Sometimes I wish I ___in a different time and a different place.

为啥不能理解为 would live（将来）
或would have lived
是因为time时代 是现在的么，是与现在事实相反？

Answer 1

would have lived

表示事与愿违，指的是已经发生的事，并且过去了。
Crook would never have lived in China if it hadn't been for Mao.
如果没有毛先生，克鲁克先生将没有机会生活在中国。
They would have continued to struggle against economic odds and would have lived in obscurity.
他们本会继续与贫困作斗，并默默无闻地活下去。

would live 这是live的过去将来时态。

表示说话人在过去，说明将来的状态。

昨天他说他会来。
He said yesterday he would come.

Sometimes I wish I ___in a different time and a different place.

其实，我正生活在现在“这个时代”，用were living 强调一种对比。
一种期望之中，与现在不同的

所以用了进行时，因为生活是正在进行，并且还会继续下去的。
