wait for与expect的区别
wait for与expect的区别
wait for与expect的区别两者均含有“等”之意,但是有区别:wait for (等候)通常指在一个地方呆着,不采取任何行动,一直等到某事发生,它主要强调时间的流逝且含有耽误之意,有时暗示某人来得太晚或某事发生得太迟等;而 expect(期待,预料)则指某事(可指好或不好的事)很可能会发生或到来,不强调时间的迟早,只说明一种心情。比较(www.nmet168.com):他在校门口等他母亲。误:He was expecting his mother at the school gate.正:He was waiting for his mother at the school gate.我们在等乔治的来信。误:We are waiting for a letter from George.正:We are expecting [looking forward to] a letter from Goerge.那么我 10 点整等你。误:Then I’ll wait for you at exactly ten o’clock.正:Then I’ll expect you at exactly ten o’clock. 说明:引用此文请注明出处,并请保留该文章链接地址,谢谢~~
