To want – to wish – to long – to desire.
To want имеет наиболее обобщённое значение и может заменять все остальные члены данного синонимического ряда: I wanted so much to come and see you. Я так хотел навестить вас. Глагол to want может иметь смысловой оттенок 'ощущать потребность в чём-либо': I don't want any coffee, thank you. Я не хочу кофе, спасибо.
Глагол to wish имеет следующие смысловые оттенки: 1) 'Сильно хотеть, желать что-либо': I wish to thank him for his help. Я желаю поблагодарить его за его помощь. 2) 'Выражать кому-либо пожелание относительно чего-либо': I wish you luck. Я желаю вам удачи.
Глагол to long имеет смысловой оттенок, указывающий на страстное желание, стремление к чему-либо (обычно к тому, что трудно достижимо). Этот глагол сильно эмоционально окрашен: They were longing for the change. Они страстно желали перемен.
Глагол to desire имеет смысловой оттенок, указывающий на сильное желание и подчёркивающий рвение, пыл: She desires to make your acquaintance. Она жаждет с вами познакомиться. Глагол to desire может и не иметь вышеназванного смыслового оттенка; тогда он отличается от глаголов to want и to wish стилистической окраской - официальной или торжественной: He was met by a maid who informed him that her mistress desired to speak with him. Его встретила горничная, которая сообщила ему, что её хозяйка желает поговорить с ним.
