1。作動詞“希望，愿望，單愿，祝愿”講

（1）跟不定式

e.g. I wish once again to espress our warmest welcome to you.

（2）跟不定式的復合結構

e.g. You know we wish you to be happy.

（3）跟帶形容詞的復合結構

e.g. I wish you well and happy.

（4）跟雙賓語

e.g. I wish you success/luck.

（5）跟從句，引導詞that常省略，從句中用虛擬語氣（表示與現在，過去，將來相反的假設），常有三種情況：

I wish I were a bird.

I wish I had taken your advice.

I wish I could go to university.

（6）不跟賓語

e. g.? we can set to work now if you wish.

2.作名詞“愿望，希望”講

e.g. My wish came true.

The needs and wishes of the masses.(群眾的希望和愿望）

3。wish for希望得到

e.g. We wished for rain.我們期待下雨

4。wish和hope的異同

(1）都不能接動名詞，可接不定式，意義差別不大。

（2）不能說 hope sb. to do， 只能說 wish sb. to do.

(3)hope后不能直接接名詞作賓語，若要接需先接 for 即 hope for sth.

e.g. Hope for the best， prepare for the worst.

(4)wish后可跟雙賓語，hope后則不能。

（5）兩者后均可跟從句，hope 表“希望”，wish 表“愿望”，wish后的從句用虛擬語氣，hope后的從句不用虛擬語氣。
