73:"On " 在这个句子正确吗?

QUESTION 73: Is    the following sentence correct: "On the last time they went to Germany, they would have been glad to meet you" or is it better to say: "On the last time they went to Germany, they wish they could have met you"?

ANSWER:    Firstly, you do not need the introductory preposition "on" -- get rid of that!
For greater clarity the sentence would probably best be written:
"The last time they went to Germany, they would like to have met you."
However, even that is a bit complicated. Easy to understand would be:
They would like to have met you the last time they went to Germany.

问题73:"On the last time they went to Germany, they would have been glad to meet you" 这个句子正确吗? 还是最好说:"On the last time they went to Germany, they wish they could have met you"?

回答:首先,你不需要引进介词"on",去掉它。为了能够使意思更明确,句子这样写可能好一些:"The last time they went to Germany, they would like to have met you."

但是,即使那样的话,还是有点复杂。 容易理解的写法是:"They would like to have met you the last time they went to Germany."
