强调内心对某事物的向往或欲望,是表达“需求感”的常用短语(注意:"desire" 在这里是可数名词)。
作为介词短语,"for" 后需接名词、代词或动名词(doing sth),用于明确“渴望的对象”。常见搭配和变形如下:
直接说明“渴望的具体事物”,例如:
I have a strong desire for chocolate.(我超想吃巧克力。)
Do you have any desire for this book?(你想要这本书吗?)
She has a deep desire for peace in her family.(她渴望家庭和睦。)
表示“渴望做某事”(此时可与 "have a desire to do sth" 互换,但更强调“对行为本身的向往”),例如:
He has a desire for traveling around the world.(他渴望环游世界。)
They have no desire for arguing with others.(他们不想和别人争论。)
常与以下形容词搭配,突出“渴望的强烈程度”:
strong(强烈的)、deep(深切的)、burning(迫切的)、great(极大的)、unfulfilled(未实现的)等。
例:The student has a burning desire for knowledge.(这个学生求知若渴。)
"have a desire for sth/doing sth":后接事物或行为,强调“对结果/行为的渴望”;
"have a desire to do sth":后接动作,强调“想要执行某个行为”。
对比:
She has a desire for fame.(她渴望成名。)(关注“成名”的结果)
She has a desire to become famous.(她渴望变得有名。)(关注“变得有名”的动作)
1、 日常场景:I have a great desire for a cup of tea after a long day.(劳累一天后,我超想喝杯茶。)
2、 情感需求:He has a deep desire for love and companionship.(他深切渴望爱与陪伴。)
3、 目标追求:The team has a strong desire for winning the championship.(这支队伍迫切想要赢得冠军。)
long for(渴望):I long for a vacation.(我渴望度假。)
crave(渴求):She craves attention.(她渴求关注。)
be eager for(急于得到):They are eager for good news.(他们急于得到好消息。)
be thirsty for(渴望):He is thirsty for success.(他渴望成功。)
总结:"have a desire for" 是表达“内心需求”的正式/书面化短语,适用于描述从“小愿望”到“强烈渴望”的各种场景,核心是明确“渴望的对象”。
