这组词(组)共同的意思是“期待,等待”。它们的区别是:
expect指“等待某事发生”,常有一定的根据,发生的可能性较大;anticipate含有“预先体味”的意味;look for是日常用词,也可表示“期待”;look forward to指以欢乐或焦急的心情期待某事发生。例如:
I expect to see some fine films during the holidays.我期望假期能看上几部好电影。
We anticipate that we shall hear from you again.我们预感到将会再接到你的信。
I think we may look for a better result next time.我想下次结果可能会好一些。
I'm looking forward to your visit.我期待着你的来访。
这两个词(组)共同的意思是“等待”。它们的区别是:
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。”
这两个词都有“期待”的意思。它们的区别是:
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。
