想請教版友, 為什麼下面對話"我想與你討論"是用wanted,
而不是want呢?是強調在對話前他已經想討論這個問題嗎?
還是其實wanted或是want在對話中都可以使用?
謝謝
M:I wanted to discuss your upcoming transfer to
the company's New York branch. We'll need a replacement
for you, and I'd lide you to help us find the right person.
F: Not a problem. What would you like me to do?

抱歉不會使用水球回覆,感謝回答的版友^^

這邊的過去式 表示 "客氣", 和 "would"you...一樣

英文有用過去式表達禮貌的用法 比方說 I wonderedWhat was the name ? Did you want some coffee ?
