should come, would come, will come都不错

有读者问: 有这样一道选择题:

(1)I wish that she_________this afternoon.

A. will come B. can come

C. should come D. would come

我认为应选D,而答案给的是C,请问为什么?

这道题似乎不够严谨。其答案可以是C,也可以是D。C的语气要比D强一些,should come和would come都是虚拟语气。在当代英语中,亦可用A,再如:

(2)I wish that other people like me will cherish the same love for the motherland.
