Fancy or want? “想”的兩種表達方式
In English there are different ways of asking the simple question: do you want to ...?
"如果說fancy 聽起來更親切,那應該這個詞屬于非正式用法才對。 可是后面又說want to 屬于口氣太直。如果fancy 是婉轉(zhuǎn)語, 就不可能有親切的效果。比較: 您是否想過要到我家來看看? 你要不要來我家看看? 哪個更親切? "
方壺齋
As non-native speakers of English you may not think much of it, but if you pay more attention to the way British people conmmunicate with one another you will see the difference.
