v. (动词)
  1. await的基本意思是“等候某人〔某物〕”,是正式用语,引申可表示“做好准备,备妥以待”,多指被动地、急切地等待事情发生; 也可表示“认为某事物将降临到某人身上”。
  2. await是及物动词。主语是人,后接所等的人或事时,与wait for相同;主语是事(如事件、命运、荣誉等),与be in store相同。
  3. await sth,就是期待它的到来或发生,而直到它到来或发生前不采取任何行动。
  1. await同wait等比较:wait的使用比await普遍。await属于及物动词,后不能接介词,能说I await her reply,不能说I await for her reply。要注意到是wait作及物动词时,可与await通用,上面例子中的await可改成wait。await后能接动名词,不能接不定式,而wait则是相反状态,后能接不定式,不接动名词。wait for同await意思相同,但wait for接宾语后还可接不定式,如I am waiting for him to come。

    I shall await hearing from you.I shall wait to hear from you.

v. (动词)
await, wait
  • 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。
  • await, expect
  • 这两个词都有“期待”的意思。其区别是:
  • 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.)
