 ♣ wish, desire, hope, want

 ♣ 下面两个句子意思不同：
　

1. 我希望我们的老师来参加我们的晚会。
　［误］ I wish that our teacher will come to our evening party.
　［正］ I wish that our teacher would come to our evening party.
　［正］ I hope that our teacher will come to our evening party.
　［析］ hope和wish都可表示“希望”，但hope表示的“希望”一般可以实现，充当其宾语的从句中的动词用将来时。wish所表示的“希望”实现的可能性不大，充当其宾语的从句中的动词用虚拟式。
2. “今天晚上你想去看电影吗?”“我希望能去，但我得准备一次考试。”
　［误］ "Would you like to go to the movies tonight?" "I wish I did, but I have to study for a test."
　［正］ "Would you like to go to the movies tonight?" "I wish I could, but I have to study for a test."
　［析］ wish后接的宾语从句常用虚拟语气。指将来的情况多用would, could或might加动词原形构成谓语。如果谓语动词用了过去式形式，则是对现在情况的假设。
3. 我现在就要见他。
　［误］ I wish seeing him at once.
　［正］ I wish to see him at once.
　［析］ wish后接动词不定式表示“希望”，强调主语的主观愿望，该愿望大都可以实现。这时， wish后不能接动名词。
4. 祝你成功！
　［误］ I hope you success.
　［正］ I wish you success.
　［析］ wish后可以跟双宾语，但hope后不可以。
5. 他不希望得到任何回报。
　［误］ He does not wish any reward.
　［正］ He does not wish for any reward.
　［析］ 表示“希望得到某物”时要用wish for.
6. 祝你生日快乐！
　［误］ I hope you a happy birthday.
　［正］ I wish you a happy birthday.
　［析］ 表示“祝愿”时，一般用wish而不用hope.
7. 圣诞节前夕，我们拜访我们的美国老师，祝愿他圣诞节快乐。
　［误］ On Christmas Eve we visited our American teacher, congratulating him on a merry Christmas.
　［正］ On Christmas Eve we visited our American teacher, wishing him a merry Christmas.
　［析］ congratulate是因某人有喜事或成功地完成某项工作时对他表示“祝贺”，至于圣诞节或新年，对别人的“祝愿、祝福”通常用wish.
