词语用法
词义讲解
词源解说

v.(动词)

await的基本意思是“等候某人〔某物〕”,是正式用语,引申可表示“做好准备,备妥以待”,多指被动地、急切地等待事情发生; 也可表示“认为某事物将降临到某人身上”。
await是及物动词。主语是人,后接所等的人或事时,与wait for相同；主语是事(如事件、命运、荣誉等),与be in store相同。
await sth,就是期待它的到来或发生,而直到它到来或发生前不采取任何行动。

v.(动词)

await, wait: 这两个词都有“等待”的意思,其区别是：
1.await是正式用词,常用于书面语,不如wait常用。
2.await后面可以接动名词作宾语,但不可接不定式, wait后面可以接不定式作状语,但不可接动名词,如：I shall await hearing from you和I shall wait to hear from you。这两句里的await和wait不可对调。
3.await, wait for这二者含义相同,但wait for后面接了宾语还可以加上不定式,而await却不可,如：I am waiting for him to come(我在等着他来。)里的waiting for不可改作awaiting。

☆ 13世纪初期进入英语，直接源自古法国北方语的awaitier：a(去)+waitier(看），意为埋伏着等待。
