▲辨析:desire;expect;hope;want;wish
该组词均可表达愿望,但:
expect表示"期待。期望,盼望",有把握,有根据地认为某事将要发生或期待某事的发生,着重相信或认为有客观可能。
hope表示想做某事或期望出现某种有利的结果,隐含这种希望可以实现,意为"希望于某事"。
want为普通口语用词,指对满足某种实际需要的渴求。
wish表示一种心愿和渴望,渴望的程度比desire弱,或表示一种不能实现的愿望,也用来表示对人的祝福。
desire既可作动词。也可作名词。最正式、严肃,强调感情的强烈和热切,强调"主观愿望的热切性",含有"强烈希望做某事"的意思。例如:
He desires a college education. 他想受大学教育。/ I expect that we'll succeed this time. 我想这次我们一定会成功。/ I hope everything goes well with your work. 祝你工作如意,事事顺心。/ I don't want your child to be spoiled. 我不愿你的孩子被宠坏。/ I wish I had tried more things at college. 我以前读大学时,若能多尝试一些事情多好。/ How I wish I could buy a house like that. 啊,假如我能
