- 词义辨析
await, wait
这两个词都有“等待”的意思,它们的区别是:
1.await是正式用词,常用于书面语,不如wait常用。
2.await后面可以接动名词作宾语,但不可接不定式, wait后面可以接不定式作状语,但不可接动名词,如:I shall await hearing from you和I shall wait to hear from you。这两句里的await和wait不可对调。
3.await, wait for这二者含义相同,但wait for后面接了宾语还可以加上不定式,而await却不可,如:I am waiting for him to come(我在等着他来。)里的waiting for不可改作awaiting。
await, expect
这两个词都有“期待”的意思。它们的区别是:
await 除了指希望之外,还暗示思想上做好了某事会发生的准备。而expect强调某事不论好坏必然发生。例如:
She had reason to expect that the trip would be exciting. 她有理由以为这次施行该是令人兴奋的。
We await your reply with interest. 我们极感兴趣地等待你的答复。
wait,await
这两个动词都含“等,等待”之意。
wait普通用词,侧重静候于某处,直到等候或期待的人或事物的到来,通常用作不及物动词,与for连用。
await正式用词,及物动词,通常指不断等待,多含耐心意味。
