▲是的,动词 want 通常不用于普通的进行时态,比如英语通常不说: I am wanting to go with you. He is wanting a new pair of shoes. We are wanting you to stay. ▲但是,want 却可以用于完成进行时(现在完成进行时和过去完成进行时)。比如: You’re the man I’ve always wanted to meet. 你是我一直想会见的人。 I’ve been wanting to have a little talk with you. 我一直想找机会跟你谈几句。 Thank you so much for the binoculars. I’ve been wanting a pair for ages. 我非常感谢你送给我望远镜。我一直想要一副。 The boy was delighted with his new knife. He had been wanting one for a long time. 男孩对新小刀很高兴。他早就想要一把了。 ▲葛传椝的《英语惯用法词典》和薄冰的《高级英语语法》都认为:want 用于完成进行时具有较强的感情色彩(可以联想现在进行时有时也表示感情色彩)。如: I have been wanting to meet you for a long time. 和你见面是我盼望已久的事。(薄冰《高级英语语法》) I have been wanting to consult your dictionary. (葛传椝《英语惯用法词典》) ▲题外话:wanting可以用作形容词(意思是:有欠缺的),比如下面的句子是系表结构,而不是进行时态: A certain humanity is wanting in big cities. 大城市里少了一些人情味。 They were skilled, but (they were) wanting in discipline. 他们技术熟练,但是不够遵守纪律。 |
