你为什么在这里用过去时?通常不是更常见地说if you want to ?

这是个好问题!事实上, wanted和want之间有细微的差别。首先, if you wanted to意味着你也想要一些东西。但值得注意的是, want的一面更加活跃,同时表达的渴望也更加温和。此外, if you wanted to是过去时的虚拟语气,那么这里could或would具有强烈的含义。换句话说,细微差别听起来可能比want的要弱,因为它仅暗示由于虚拟语气的性质而发生的可能性。例子: If I were rich, I would buy us a house. (如果我有钱,我会想买房。) => 虚拟语气例子: If I wanted to go swimming, I would. But I don't want to swim today. (如果我想游泳,我会。但我今天不想游泳。) 示例: If I want to go swimming, I will. (如果我喜欢,我会游泳。) => 肯定的例子: If she wanted to go out tonight, we could go to the restaurant nearby. => 不清楚她是否愿意 = If she wants to go out tonight, we could go to the restaurant nearby. (如果她今晚想出去,我们甚至可以去附近的餐馆。) => 指出如果她想出去会发生什么。
