词语用法
v.(动词)
want的基本意思是想要,指人希望、愿意或决心做某事或获得某物,是日常用语,强调主观愿望。引申可表示缺少缺乏不够差没有应该等。
want既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接名词、代词、动词不定式、动名词作宾语,也可接以形容词、现在分词、过去分词、动词不定式、介词短语、副词充当补足语的复合宾语。
want可接由that引起的宾语从句,表示请求,命令,建议等,主要用于美式英语中。
want作需要解时,可接被动形式的动词不定式或主动形式的动名词。
want用于过去完成时,表示未达到本来的愿望。
want一般不用于进行体,但表示语气婉转时可用现在进行时或过去进行时。
want用作不及物动词时,多与介词for或in连用。
want可用一般时表示将来,一般不与be going to连用。
want是表示思想状态的动词,不可用于被动结构。
在口语中,可用want to代替should。
n.(名词)
want用作名词时意思是缺乏,不足,是抽象名词,不可数，引申作需要的东西,想往的东西时,是可数名词,常用复数形式。
want有时可作贫穷解。
for want of和from (the) want of在句中均可用作原因状语,但前者多用于主语指人的句子,说明理由; 而后者多用于主语指事物的句子,说明原因。
词义辨析
v.(动词)
want, desire, hope, wish
这组词都含有想希望的意思。其区别是：
1.desire和hope多指可以达到的事; wish通常用于难以实现或达到的事, wish也可表示祈愿。
2.desire, wish和hope后均可接从句或不定式作宾语; wish和desire后接that从句一般用虚拟语气; desire和wish后可接复合宾语; hope用作不及物动词时常接of, for引起的短语。
3.desire在语气上比wish更强烈,更庄重,且很少用于口语。
want, lack, be deficient in
这组词(组)均可表示缺乏。其区别在于：
1.lack指完全没有或有而不足,所缺之物可好可坏,在用法上, lack 后面不能接动名词。
2.want指缺乏值得有、希望有或为了完整性而必需的东西,在用法上want也可以跟动名词作宾语,而且用主动形式表示被动的意义。例如:
She is wanting in common sense.她缺乏常识。
You shall never want while I have any money left.只要我有余钱,就不会叫你缺少什么。
3.be deficient in则是具体或明确地指出、说明在某方面缺少或不足。例如:
This food is deficient in iron.这种食物缺乏铁。
Nothing was deficient in this project.这项工程什么都不缺。
want, need
这组词都有需要,要求的意思。其区别是：
need表示因缺少而需要某物或需要做某事,尤其强调这种需要的迫切性; want表示从一般需要的意向到强烈、迫切的要求以及各种程度不同的愿望。
want for, lack for
这两个短语都可表示缺乏必要的或想要的东西,意义相近,常可互换,只是前者表示客观缺乏什么,而后者则进一步表明主观上想要,且lack for的意味比want for的意味弱。例如:
As he is very rich he lacks for nothing.他很富有,什么也不缺。
We should not want for food.我们不会缺少食物。
n.(名词)
want, absence, lack, shortage
这组词都有缺乏的意思。其区别是：
1.从内容上说:absence指在某一特定的场合应具备或想要的某一事物或事实; lack指应具备或需要的东西; shortage指按规定应具备或需要的数量; want则指缺少必不可少的东西,尤指为一整体的完美所必须具备的东西。
2.从程度上说:absence指根本就不存在; lack指完全没有或不够充足; shortage指部分短缺或开始减少; want则指缺少。
3.从用法上说:absence, lack和want都是不可数名词,间或可加不定冠词; 而shortage可用作不可数名词,也可用作可数名词。

这些动词都有希望之意。
desire: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:wish语气较弱，多指难于实现或不可能实现的愿望。
hope:hope指对愿望实现有一定信心的希望。
expect: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: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: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。
lack need want require
这些动词均有缺少、短少之意。
lack:lack指完全短缺或数量不足。
need:need语气较重，指需要必不可少的东西，强调急需。
want:want侧重缺少某种必需之物，或个人渴望得到的东西。
require:require使用广泛，语气较轻。强调急需时可与need换用，但有时暗示所需的人或物是完成某一任务必不可少的。
lack want absence shortage scarcity
这些名词均含缺乏，不足之意。
lack:lack普通用词，指部分或完全的不足。
want:want指完全或短缺某物，侧重缺少之物是必需的东西。使用范围比lack窄些。
absence:absence指某物根本不存在或完全短缺，或某人虽存在，但未到现场。
