用法说明
wait for, await, expect, look forward to
这几个词都含有“期待”,“等待”的意思。其区别在于:wait for 和await 强调动作,表示等待要来的人或要发生的事;可能事先作好安排,也可能什么也不做,只是等待。await比wait for 正式,其后必须接宾语。expect意为“期待”,强调的是一种思想状态,表示认为某人会来或某事会发生。look forward to则含有“喜滋滋地期待”之义。试比较:
We waited an hour for the train. 我们等了一个小时火车。
I am awaiting your decision. 我等待着你的决定.
I am expecting a letter from my old friend. 我期待着老朋友的来信。
I am really looking forward to your party. 我一心盼望着参加你的聚会。
