词语用法
词义讲解
常见错误
词源解说

v.(动词)

expect的基本意思是“期待”“料想”,指相信或盼望有人会来或有事会发生,这种预料多有一定的根据,强调的是客观可能性,多用于好的方面,在口语中expect的意思常淡化为“认为”“想”,此时主语多为第一人称单数。
expect多用作及物动词,可接名词、代词、动词不定式或that从句作宾语,也可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。
expect所接的that从句在表示“预料”“期望”时可用虚拟式,在作“想”“认为”解时可用陈述式, that有时可以省略。
expect的宾语从句若是否定式,常可用于转移否定结构,即把否定词移至主句。但在对话中则既可采用I don't expect so的形式,也可采取I expect not的形式,后者为非正式的语体。
expect后有时可用so和not分别代替前面的句子或分句的肯定式或否定式宾语。
在表示过去未曾实现的“期望”“预料”时,须用过去完成时,而不用一般过去时。
expect是表示思想状态的动词,一般不用于进行体,但在表示语气婉转时可用于现在进行时。
expect还可用作“怀孕”的委婉说法,此时需用进行体。
expect of和expect from都可表示“指望”“期望”,意思相同,可互换使用。
expect的过去分词expected可用作形容词,在句中作表语或定语。

v.(动词)

expect, anticipate, look for, look forward to: 这组词(组)的共同意思是“期待,等待”。其区别是：
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。

v.(动词)

误 She expects leaving tomorrow.

正 She expects to leave tomorrow.

析 expect后只可接动词不定式,而不可接动名词。

误 I expect it won't rain later today.

正 I don't expect it will rain later today.

析 expect的宾语从句若是否定式,否定词须移至主句。

误 You arrived earlier than expecting.

正 You arrived earlier than expected.

析 expect用在than或as引导的状语从句中,可以用一个省略句,但是省略句的主语和主句的主语必须一致。

误 Mother has been expecting you to come back for several days.

正 Mother has been expecting you for several days.

析 expect已有“盼望…(回)来”的意思,后面不必再用to come back。

☆ 1560年左右进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的expecare：ex (向） + spectare (看），意为向外看。
