想请教版友, 为什么下面对话"我想与你讨论"是用wanted,
而不是want呢?是强调在对话前他已经想讨论这个问题吗?
还是其实wanted或是want在对话中都可以使用?
谢谢
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?

抱歉不会使用水球回复,感谢回答的版友^^

这边的过去式 表示 "客气", 和 "would"you...一样

英文有用过去式表达礼貌的用法 比方说 I wonderedWhat was the name ? Did you want some coffee ?
