用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. wait的基本意思是“等”,指在相当长的一段时间内停留在某个地方,直到某事发生或某人到来为止。
  2. wait主要用作不及物动词,常与介词for连用。
  3. wait用作及物动词通常用来指耐心地“等,等待”。在这种用法中其宾语仅限于hour, time, turn, return, arrival, opportunity, chance, orders, a fine day, aid, the result, the signal, convenience等名词。
  4. wait还可接带to的动词不定式。这种动词不定式是目的状语,而不是宾语。
  5. can't wait用来表示一种极不耐烦的心情,可作“多么想…,简直等不及了”“迫不及待地想要”解,后面一般也接带to的动词不定式。
  6. wait and see的意思是“等着瞧”,使用时应注意wait和see都必须用原形,并且and不可换成其他连词。当以表示事物的名词作主语时, wait可表示“准备好了”“等人处理”,多用于进行体。
n. (名词)
  1. wait可以指等待的时间,也可以指“等”的动作。
v. (动词)
wait for, expect
  • 这两个词(组)的共同意思是“等待”。其区别是：
  • expect指的是一种等待的心境,并非除此以外不干任何事情。例如:
  • He is expecting a letter.他正在等一封信。
  • wait for则强调动作本身,即不干别的事而专门等待。例如:
  • “Why are you standing here?” “I am waiting for Mr. Green.”“你站在这儿干什么?”“我在等格林先生。”
    • wait, await
  • 这两个词都有“等待”的意思,其区别是：
  • 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。
    • wait，await
  • 这两个动词均含“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。
    • 用作动词 (v.)
