求wait与await用法的异同?
提问时间:2020-08-07
答案
await,wait
这两个词都是动词,又都有“期待”、“等候”之意,但用法有所不同,它们的区别如下:
(一)await是及物动词,后面直接接宾语;wait虽然也可用作及物动词,但在现代英语中,一般作不及物动词用,与for,to,till,until等词连用.
(二)await的宾语大都是抽象名词,如:decision,reply,arrival,announcement,return等;wait for的宾语一般是人或事物.
The judge awaits the coroner's inquest before giving a verdict.
法官在作裁决前等待验尸官的调查.
I have been waiting for her for an hour at the bus stop.
我在公共车站等候她已一小时了.
(三)await之后接动名词;wait之后接动词不定式.例如:
We shall await hearing further from them.
We shall wait to hear further from them.
我们在静候他们进一步的消息.
(四)await多用于书面语;wait 多用于口语.如:
This plan awaits the approval of the board of directors.
这项计划有待董事局批准.
I have been waiting here for a long time.
我已在这里等了好久了.
(五)wait 除作动词外,还可用作名词.例:
I had a long wait for the train.
我等火车等了好久.
They pursue a policy of wait and see.
他们采取等待和观望的政策.
如上所述,wait在特定情况下也可以用作及物动词,例如:to wait your turn;to wait one's opportunity.
请注意下列句子中await和wait的使用场合:
We await (or wait for)your reply.
We wait for(不能用await)you to reply.
I shall wait to bring her home.(不能用await)
I await (or wait for)your ruling on the matter with some impatience.
当await的主语是没有生命的事物而宾语是人时,await表示 be in store或lie in wait for之意.如:
On arriving at the guest house,he found a telegram awaiting him.
Little did he realize what a surprise awaited him at home.
A hearty welcome will await you.
请注意,Time and tide wait(s)for no man(岁月不待人)的wait既可以加s,亦可不加s.
