用法辨析

v. (動詞)

• wait的基本意思是“等”,指在相當(dāng)長的一段時間內(nèi)停留在某個地方,直到某事發(fā)生或某人到來為止。
• wait主要用作不及物動詞,常與介詞for連用。
• wait用作及物動詞通常用來指耐心地“等,等待”。在這種用法中其賓語僅限于hour, time, turn, return, arrival, opportunity, chance, orders, a fine day, aid, the result, the signal, convenience等名詞。
• wait還可接帶to的動詞不定式。這種動詞不定式是目的狀語,而不是賓語。
• can't wait用來表示一種極不耐煩的心情,可作“多么想…,簡直等不及了”“迫不及待地想要”解,后面一般也接帶to的動詞不定式。
• wait and see的意思是“等著瞧”,使用時應(yīng)注意wait和see都必須用原形,并且and不可換成其他連詞。當(dāng)以表示事物的名詞作主語時, wait可表示“準(zhǔn)備好了”“等人處理”,多用于進行體。

n. (名詞)

• wait可以指等待的時間,也可以指“等”的動作。
