可 以 口 语 化 一 些 , 类 似 於 中 文 常 见 的

“ 你 要 是 能 ... , 要 我 怎 样 都 行" ;
“ 你 要 是 能 ... , 要 什 么 我 给 你 什 么 " ;
“ 你 要 是 能 ... , 我 这 个 王 字 倒 着 写 " ;
“ 你 要 是 能 ... , 我 姓 你 那 个 姓 " ;

可 根 据 上 下 文 或 全 文 风 格 , BILL 的 性 格 特 征 等 , 灵 活 掌 握 。

能让你看刚才经过的那些...可太好了.你没能看真是太遗憾/可惜了.

I would give anything/a lot (also, I would give my eye teeth/right arm) used to say that you would like to have or to do something very much eg I'd give anything to see the Taj Mahal. Janice would give her eye teeth for a house like that.
