Wish' + past perfect - we use this form when we want to express a regret, or detail a missed opportunity. "I wish I'd never set eyes on Tom! He is actually married with three children, yet he told me he was single!" 'To broaden one's knowledge' means to extend one's learning of, and familiarity with a particular subject area. "Pete made it his mission in life to continually broaden his knowledge of medical techniques related to eye operations."
Wish' + 過去完了 - この形は後悔や機会を逃したことを表現するのに使われます。 例: "I wish I'd never set eyes on Tom! He is actually married with three children, yet he told me he was single!" 'To broaden one's knowledge' これは人が学んでいることや、特定の領域についての知識を広げていくことを意味しています。 例: "Pete made it his mission in life to continually broaden his knowledge of medical techniques related to eye operations."

  • It's such a shame that I didn't have an interest in reading books back then.

  • I should've read books when I was a child. That could've changed my disinterest with reading now.

”Regret”を使わず「後悔する」を表現するには”It's a shame”などを使うのがオススメです。

  • I regret not reading as many books as a child

  • My deepest regret is not reading many books as a child

If you are sorry you didn't do something earlier then you can say it is a 'regret' or 'deepest regret' if it means alot and you really wish you had done it you can also say 'I wish I had'
何かをしなかったことを後悔しているのなら、それは 'regret'(後悔)や 'deepest regret'(最大の後悔)と表せます。 やっておけば良かったと強く思うなら、'I wish I had'(~しておけば良かった)も使えます。

"back in the day" - means in the past, sometime in our far past A. I don't have as much time to read as I did back in the day. B. You can start reading again now if you want. A. I really should, you know. B. Me too. I don't read nearly as much as I did when I was a kid.
"back in the day" (ずっと前) -これは過去の事です、時々自分たちの昔の事という様な意味になります。 【例文】 A. I don't have as much time to read as I did back in the day.  (昔はあんまり本を読む時間がなかったな) B. You can start reading again now if you want.  (今から本を読んだっていいんだよ) A. I really should, you know.  (そうしなきゃね、わかる) B. Me too. I don't read nearly as much as I did when I was a kid.  (私もよ。子供のころはほとんど本を読まなかったから)

  • I wish that reading played a bigger part in my childhood.

    play icon

  • I wish reading was a bigger priority when I was a child.

    play icon

The first example is very simple and more common to say. To say that something plays a bigger part or is a bigger priority means that it was very present at one point or another.
一つ目の例はとてもシンプルで一般的な言い方です。 "something plays a bigger part/is a bigger priority" は「より重要な存在である」という意味です。
