用法
When want is followed immediately by an infinitive construction, it does not take for : I want you to go (not want for you ). When want and the infinitive are separated in the sentence, however, for is used: What I want is for you to go. I want very much for you to go. See Usage Note at wish
当want 后紧跟一个不定式结构的时候，它不能接 for ： I want you to go（我希望你走） （不是 want for you )。但是当 want 和不定式在句中分开的时候， for 就用于此： 我所希望的是你离开。我非常希望你离开 参见 wish
