Note that want and wish have similar meanings, but are used differently. If you want something, you feel a need for it or a desire to have it. You can say that you want to do something, that you want someone to do something, or that you want something to happen. If you use wish with a 'to' infinitive, this has the same meaning as want but is more formal. I want to get out of here... She wished to consult him about her future.
want 和 wish 意思相近，但用法不同。want 表示感觉需要或希望拥有某物。可以说 want to do something (想要做某事)，want someone to do something (想要某人做某事) 或 want something to happen (想要某事发生)。wish 与带 to 的不定式连用，和 want 意思一样，但更加正式。例如：I want to get out of here (我想要离开这里)，She wished to consult him about her future (她希望和他商量自己未来的发展)。
