= The machine wants to be repaired.

这机器需要修理。

2. These sentences need explaining.

=These sentences need to be explained.

want是个规则动词，是想的意思，过去式和过去分词都是wanted,现在分词是wanting;它常见的结构是 want to do sth(想做某事）/want sb to do sth（想某人去做某事），例句解释： I want to swim this afternoon; My mom wants me to learn English.；另外want还有需要的意思后面接动名词，通常主语是物，例句These flowers want watering.
