1、would like to 与 want to 的区别及用法would like to do sth 是愿意作某事表示愿意乐意可以等于 Be will to do sth而 want to do sth 式表示想要做某事表达一种想法,前者程度更深 would like 和 wantA 在下列情况下,这两个词可以互换使用:1 用于请求或有关请求的问句中(但这里不使用 would not like,参见下面 B1):Customer:I d like some raspberries,please/I want some raspberries,please顾客:请给我拿点儿木莓.Greengro
2、cer:Im afraid I havent anyWould you like somestrawberries?蔬菜水果商:对不起,我没有木莓了.您来点草莓怎么样?Customer:No,I dont want any strawberries,thanks顾客:不,我不想要草莓.(这里不能用 wouldnt like.)I would like 常常要比 I want 更有礼貌.would you like?要比 do you want?更有礼貌,也更殷勤.would you like?可以含有愿意满足别人的希望的意思.do youwant?则不含有这种意思.因此,与顾客或客人打交道时,
3、通常用 would you like?:Caller:Id like to/I want to speak to Mr X,please打电话者:我想找 X 先生说话 .Telephonist:Mr X is outWould you like to speak to Mr 话务员:X 先生出去了.您跟 Y 先生说行吗?2 如果不是提出请求而只是谈到愿望时,可以随意用 would like 或 want 的肯定式、疑问式或否定式.它们的意思没有区别,然而,I want 要比 I would like 显得更自信.I want 通常不用于表示不可实现的愿望:I would like to liv
4、e on Mars但愿我能住到火星上去.B would like 和 want 在下列用法中不能互换:1 表示邀请时用 would you like?结构,而不能用 do you want?结构:Would you like a cup of coffee?您想喝一杯咖啡吗?Would you like to come to the theatre?您想来剧院看戏吗?do you want?用于此处只表示一种询问,不含有邀请的意思 .2 wouldnt like 和 dont want 是有区别的.dont want 表示没有某种愿望;wouldnt like 表示不喜欢 .因此,wouldn
5、t like 不能用来回答邀请或提议,因为在这种回答中 wouldnt like 的口气将是不礼貌的.在这里常用 dontwant 或其他形式来代替 wouldnt like:Would you like some more coffee?No,I dont want any more,thanks/No,thanks您再来点儿咖啡吗?不,不要了,C 在过去时中这两种形式的变化不同.在间接引语中 want 变为 wanted,而 would like 不起变化:Tom said,I would like/want to see it 汤姆说:“我想看看它”.相当于:Tom said he would like/wanted to see it汤姆说他想看看它.但如果不用间接引语的结构来表示,只能说:Tom wanted tosee it(这里我们不能用 would like 因为 Tom would like to seeit 的意思是指现在或将来).D would like 有两个过去形式: would like+ 不定式的完成式或 would like+ 不定式/名词/代词.这些形式只能表示未能实现的愿望:Id like to have gone skiing/Id have liked a day s skiing我本想去滑雪的.(但我未能实现我的愿望.)
