Much as ______,I couldn’t lend him the money because I simply didn’t have that much cash.
尽管我想借钱给他,但是没法借,因为我没有那么多闲钱。
为什么这里用 I would have liked to,不用 I would like to have?
“我想借钱给他” 是真实的过去发生的情况啊?
would have liked to 表示未能实现的过去愿望。这个句子大致等于 I would have liked to lend him the money, but I couldn't do it because I simply didn't have that much cash. 这类句子中,第一分句用虚拟语气表示未能实现的过去计划、意图、打算、愿望,but后的分句用陈述语气解释为什么这些计划、意图、打算、愿望未能实现。例如,I had wanted/planned/intended/meant to do sth, but ... ;或者 I wanted/planned/intended/meant to have done sth, but...。would have liked=had wanted。你的句子没有用并列结构,而是把but后的分句做主句,虚拟语气部分用as引导的让步从句表示。如果你用would like to,则仅仅表示过去的愿望,这个愿望是否实现是不得而知的,与这个语境不符。这里明显表示这个过去愿望是未能实现的。
