n.（名词）
Wish is widely used as a polite substitute for want with infinitives:
Wish 已广泛地成为与不定式连用表示 want 的礼貌的代替语。
例句：
Do you wish to sit at a table on the terraceô
你想坐在阳台上的桌旁吗ô

例句：
Anyone who wishes to may leave now.
想走的现在可以走了。

This usage is consonant with formal style,where it is natural to treat the desires of others with exaggerated deference.The corresponding use ofwish with a noun-phrase object is less frequent, though it cannot be regarded as incorrect:
这种用法符合正式文体，因正式文体中对别人的愿望表示出夸大的尊重很自然。尽管不会认为是错误的，但wish 加上名词短语作宾语不太常见：
例句：
Anyone who wishes an aisle seat should see an attendant.
任何想要走廊座位的人都要同服务员商量。

Both usages are likely to sound stilted in informal style, however. ôWhenwish precedes a subordinate clause containing a contrary-to-fact statement, strict grammatical correctness requires that one usewere rather than was : I wish I were (not was ) lighter on my feet. Many writers continue to insist on this rule,but precedent for using the indicativewas in such clauses can be found in the works of many writers, including King Alfred and Jonathan Swift. See Usage Note at if ,want
但这两种用法在非正式文体中会显得不自然。当wish 后面接一个与事实相反的陈述句作从属分句时， 按严格的语法来说，应在从句中用were 代替 was ： I wish I were （不是 was ) lighter on my feet（多希望我能步履轻盈。） 许多作家仍坚持这条规则，但在从句中用表陈述的was 可在许多作家包括金·阿尔弗雷德和约纳森·斯威夫特的作品中找到先例 参见 if,want
