want和hope的区别

Question

want和hope的区别

Answer 1

hope作“希望”解,主要用来表示主观上的愿望并对其实现抱有信心.可接不定式（短语）或that引导的从句,但不可接“宾语+不定式”,即宾语补足语的结构,也称不定式的复合结构,例如：
We are hoping to see the president who will come to China.
I hope that you can tell us the truth.
We hope you to meet us at the station.(错误)
want作“想要”解,可接名词、不定式短语、还可接宾语+不定式/现在分词/过去分词的复合结构,例如：A Mr.Black wants to see you,sir.
I don’t want you to make so much trouble.
He wanted his hair cut after work.
I want you telling stories all the time.
但当want作“需要”解时,则后接V-ing的形式（表示被动的含义）或不定式的复合结构,此时用法跟need相似,例如：
The floor wants cleaning/to be cleaned.
