词语用法
- wait的基本意思是“等”,指在相当长的一段时间内停留在某个地方,直到某事发生或某人到来为止。 wait主要用作不及物动词,常与介词for连用。 wait用作及物动词通常用来指耐心地“等,等待”。在这种用法中其宾语仅限于hour, time, turn, return, arrival, opportunity, chance, orders, a fine day, aid, the result, the signal, convenience等名词。 wait还可接带to的动词不定式。这种动词不定式是目的状语,而不是宾语。 cant wait用来表示一种极不耐烦的心情,可作“多么想…,简直等不及了”“迫不及待地想要”解,后面一般也接带to的动词不定式。 wait and see的意思是“等着瞧”,使用时应注意wait和see都必须用原形,并且and不可换成其他连词。当以表示事物的名词作主语时, wait可表示“准备好了”“等人处理”,多用于进行体。
- wait可以指等待的时间,也可以指“等”的动作。
常见错误
- 他说他不能等到星期一。
误 He said he couldnt wait to Monday.
正 He said he couldnt wait till Monday.
析 表示“等到某一时刻”,应该用until或till,不用to。
我在门口等你。误 Ill wait you at the gate.
正 Ill wait for you at the gate.
析 表示“等某人”时, wait用作不及物动词,其后须加介词for。
我正等着某人告诉我发生了什么事。误 Im waiting that someone tells me what happened.
正 Im waiting for someone to tell me what happened.
析wait后面不可以接that从句,表示“等某人做某事”可以说wait for sb to do sth。
她从早到晚服侍她丈夫。误 She waits her husband on from morning till night.
正 She waits on her husband from morning till night.
析wait作“服侍”“伺候”“招待”解时,用wait on〔upon〕 sb 形式。其中on是介词,不是副词,宾语只能放在on之后。
我等候你的回音。误 I shall wait hearing from you.
正 I shall wait to hear from you.
赫克没有再等着听下去。误 Huch didnt wait hearing more.
正 Huch didnt wait to hear more.
析wait后可接动词不定式(短语)作目的状语,不接动名词(短语)。
侍候人吃饭的事她永远也学不会。误 She will never learn to wait at the table.
正 She will never learn to wait at table.
析 表示“侍候人吃饭”,可以说wait at table,这是英式英语,美式英语中则说wait on table, table前都不加冠词。
他在等待机会。误 He is waiting for his opportunity.
正 He is waiting his opportunity.
析wait表示“等待”,接chance, opportunity等抽象名词作宾语时一般用作及物动词。
我要等照片洗好。误 Ill wait for the photos be ready.
正 Ill wait for the photos to be ready.
析wait for后跟含to的不定式短语的复合宾语, to不可省略。
