在学习英语的过程中,'wait' 和 'await' 这两个单词常常让人感到困惑,因为他们之间只相差1个字母,而且意思几乎一样,翻译成中文都是“等待”。但它们到底有什么不同呢?弄清楚它们的区别,才能够帮助我们自信使用英语。
Wait' 的含义是“等待”,是非及物动词,也就是说,wait 后面不能直接跟宾语,例如:
Notably, Gus, Wendy and Becky make their way back to the cabin at Yellowstone National Park, where the rest of the hybrids are waiting for them.
Back in the day there was a community of family that came in through the free gate, waiting for the gate to open five or 10 minutes before the eighth race.
Await' 翻译成中文也是等待,是及物动词,后面可以直接加宾语,且通常用于正式场合,例如:
Fun and varied arts options await this blazing weekend in metro Detroit.
Sterns is being held in Osceola County Jail, awaiting his arraignment on April 2.
