Hope and Wish

If you wish to do or to have something, you want it without thinking whether it is possible. I wish to go=I want to go. The word is also used for impossible desires. I wish I were French. I wish  you'd told me. But if you hope to do or to have something, you want it and believe that it is possible to do or get it. He hopes to become a doctor.=He has the chance to study and he thinks he can pass the examination./I hope you will help me.= l want you to and I think you can. One cannot hope or have hopes, about impossible things. Compare: I have no wish to go =I don't want to go. /I have no hope of going=I want to but I know I won't.

如果你想要(wish)做某事或想要某样东西，这表示你有这个愿望，并没考虑是否有可能。I wish to go等于1 want to go(我想要去)。wish这个词还用来表示根本不可能的愿望：1 wish I were French．(但愿我是法国人)／I wish you’d told me．(但愿你告诉了我)。但如果你希望(hope)做某事或要某样东西，这就不仅表示你有这个愿望，同时你还相信做那事、得到那东西是可能的。He hopes to become a doctor．等于说：他有机会学医，且认为可以考取。／I hope you will help me．等于说：我要你帮助我，并认为你能帮助我。对于那些不可能的事，人们不用hope或have hopes．请比较：I have no wish to go．等于说：我并不想去。／I have no hope of going．等于说：我想去，但我知道我去不成。.
