レッスン

If I won the lottery, I would buy houses and cars. If I had wings, I could travel around the world. If I were multi-lingual, I could talk to anyone around the globe. What would you do if you had these things? 

What would you buy if you won the lottery? Where would you go if you had wings?
 I  used to dream of these things when l was a child. I used to imagine things which seemed unreal. 

Thinking about it makes me smile. Now that I am an adult, I have come to realize that things are not that easy to achieve and life is not that easy to live with.

this/that は形容詞や副詞について「こんなに~、あんなに~」という意味で使われます。

もし宝くじが当たったら、家と車を買うでしょう。 翼があれば世界中を旅できるのに。 もし私が多言語を話せたら、世界中の誰とでも話せるでしょう。

これらのものを持っていたらどうしますか? 宝くじが当たったら何を買いますか? 翼があったらどこに行きますか?

私は子供の頃、これらのことを夢見ていました。 私は非現実的に思えることを想像していました。 それを考えると笑顔になります。 大人になった今、物事はそれほど簡単に達成できるものではなく、人生はそれほど簡単ではないことに気づきました。
