二、词义辨析:


desire,wish,hope,expect,want,long

这些动词都有“希望”之意。 desire语气较正式庄重,着重渴望的力量与热切,常含有强烈的意图和目的。 wish语气较弱,多指难于实现或不可能实现的愿望。 hope指对愿望实现有一定信心的希望。 expect通常指有很大程度的把握,但仍含有预料之意,或预计某事或某行动的发生。 want一般指所想要的东西是切望得到的东西,能弥补实际需要。 long语气强,指极殷切地盼望着,这种盼望侧重于很难或不可能得到的东西。有时也指一般愿望,但含一定感情色彩。


三、词义辨析:


look for,look forward to,anticipate,expect

这组词(组)的共同意思是“期待,等待”。其区别是: look for 是日常用词,也可表示“期待”。 look forward to 指以欢乐或焦急的心情期待某事发生。 anticipate 含有“预先体味”的意味。 expect 指“等待某事发生”,常有一定的根据,发生的可能性较大。


四、参考例句:
