when it is used in negative sentences, however, it can mean sth that you don't want. * need 通常比 desire 强烈，指渴望得到某物不仅是因为喜欢，更是出于迫切需要；但在否定句中 need 可表示不想要的事物◆she had no more need of me (= did not want me any more).她再也不需要我了。■ wish [countable] (especially written) a feeling that you want to have or do sth愿望；希望◆i can understand her wish for secrecy.我可以理解她想保守秘密的愿望。◆he had no wish to start a fight.他无意挑起争斗。◆his dearest wish (= what he wants most of all) is to see his grandchildren again.他最大的愿望是能够再次见到自己的孙儿。◆it was her dying wish that i should have it.她的临终遗愿是把这东西留给我。 ➡ see also wish → want verb , wish → wish noun note 辨析 desire or wish?when it is used alone, desire only suggests a slightly stronger feeling than wish. however, desire is often used with adjectives such as deep, great, urgent, burning, insatiable and overwhelming, expressing a much stronger feeling; wish is not often used with these adjectives. * desire 单独使用时仅指比 wish 稍强烈些的愿望，但 desire 经常与形容词 deep、great、urgent、burning、insatiable 和 overwhelming 等连用，表示十分强烈的愿望； wish 不常与这些形容词连用。■ temptation /tempteɪʃn/ [countable, uncountable] the desire to do or have sth that you know is bad or wrong诱惑；引诱◆the temptation of easy profits was too much for them.轻而易举即可获利，这种诱惑让他们无法抗拒。◆don't give in to temptation.别经不起诱惑。◆i couldn't resist the temptation to open the letter.我按捺不住好奇心，把信打开了。 ➡ see also tempt → tempt verb ■ urge [countable] a strong feeling that you must do sth, especially one that is hard to control or hard to understand强烈的欲望；（难以控制或理解的）冲动◆i had a sudden urge to hit him.我突然很想揍他一顿。◆freud claimed that this behaviour was caused by the repression of sexual urges.弗洛伊德声称这种行为是性压抑造成的。 ➡ see also urgent → urgent note 辨析 need or urge?both these words often describe feelings that seem to come from the body rather than the mind.这两个词均常指来自身体而非大脑的欲望◆a / an biological / instinctive / primitive need / urge生理／本能／原始的欲望◆sexual needs / urges性需求；性冲动however, needs are usually feelings that are shared by a lot of people and are easy to understand and accept; an urge may be less easy to understand and sth that you try to prevent yourself from doing or expressing.不过，need 通常为许多人共有且容易理解和接受的欲望，urge 则可能是较不易理解且尽量避免做或表达出来的欲望◆she felt a violent urge to laugh, but suppressed it, with difficulty.她很想大笑出声，可还是竭力忍住了。■ impulse /ɪmpʌls/ [countable, usually singular, uncountable] a sudden strong desire to do sth, without stopping to think about the results冲动；心血来潮的念头◆he had a sudden impulse to stand up and sing.他突然心血来潮，想站起来唱歌。◆her first impulse was to run away.她的第一个念头就是逃走。◆the door was open and on an impulse she went inside.门开着，她一时心血来潮就走了进去。◆he tends to act on impulse.他往往凭一时冲动行事。 ➡ see also impulsive → spontaneous ■ inclination /ɪnklɪneɪʃn/ [uncountable, countable] (rather formal) a feeling that makes you want to do sth倾向；意愿◆he did not show the slightest inclination to leave.他丝毫没有表现出要离开的意思。◆he was a loner by nature and by inclination.他生性不喜欢交际，而且也无意于此。◆you must follow your own inclinations when choosing a career.你必须按照自己的意愿选择职业。ⓘ an inclination may not be a very strong feeling: people act according to their inclinations when there is no stronger force to work against them. when people lack any inclination to do sth, it shows that they do not want to do it at all. * inclination 可能是一种不太强烈的意愿。在没有更强的反对力量干扰下，人都是按自己的意愿行事。缺乏做某事的意愿，就表明根本不想做这件事。 ➡ see also inclined to do sth → prone to sth ■ whim /wɪm/ [countable] (often disapproving) a sudden desire to do or have sth, especially when it is sth unusual or unnecessary心血来潮；一时冲动；突发奇想◆he was forced to pander to her every whim.她每一次心血来潮他都得顺着她。◆we bought the house on a whim.我们一时冲动就买了这所房子。◆she hires and fires people at whim (= as and when she wants to, without good reason).她任意地雇用人和解雇人。■ want [countable, usually plural] something that you want需要的东西；想要的东西◆she spent her life pandering to the wants of her children.她一生都在设法满足子女的需要。ⓘ in this meaning, wants is usually used in a possessive phrase such as my/your/his/her/our/their/the customers' wants or the wants of sb.表达此义时，wants 通常用在所有格短语中，如 my/your/his/her/our/their/the customers' wants 或 the wants of sb。 ➡ see also want → need noun , want → want verb ■ compulsion /kəmpʌlʃn/ (rather formal, written) a strong desire to do sth that you cannot easily control, especially sth that is wrong, silly or dangerous（尤指做错事、傻事或危险事的）强烈欲望，冲动◆he felt a great compulsion to drive too fast.他感到一股想超速飙车的强烈冲动。◆obsessions and compulsions often develop in people who live stressful lives.生活压力大的人常常会产生痴迷和易于冲动。 ➡ see also compelling → urgent desire [countable, uncountable] (rather formal, especially written) a feeling that you want to have or do sth想望；欲望；渴望◆most children have an insatiable desire for knowledge.大多数儿童都有永不满足的求知欲。◆she felt an overwhelming desire to return home.她感到有一种难以遏制的想回家的愿望。◆he now had enough money to satisfy all his desires.他现在有足够的钱来满足自己所有的欲望。◆ (formal) i have no desire (= i do not want) to discuss the matter further.我不想再谈此事。 ➡ see also desire → want verb desire [countable, uncountable] a strong wish to have sex with sb情欲；肉欲；性欲◆she felt a surge of love and desire for him.她对他骤生爱意和欲望。◆he felt he was nothing more to her than an object of desire.他觉得对她来说自己不过是个性欲对象而已。desire [transitive] (not used in the progressive tenses不用于进行时) (formal) to want to have or do sth想；要；希望◆the house had everything you could desire.这房子应有尽有。◆the dessert can be topped with cream, if desired (= if you like).如果喜欢，这款甜品可以浇上奶油。◆the medicine did not achieve the desired effect.这药未达到预期效果。 ➡ see also desire → desire noun desire¹/dɪˈzaɪə(r) ||;
