wantʹer n.(名词)wantʹless adj.(形容词)wantʹlessness n.(名词)- Whenwant is followed immediately by an infinitive construction, it does not take for : I want you to go (not want for you ). When want and the infinitive are separated in the sentence, however, for is used: What I want is for you to go. I want very much for you to go. See Usage Note at wish 当want 后紧跟一个不定式结构的时候,它不能接 for : I want you to go(我希望你走) (不是 want for you )。但是当 want 和不定式在句中分开的时候, for 就用于此: 我所希望的是你离开。我非常希望你离开 参见 wish
