  await,wait

  这两个词都是动词,又都有期待、等候之意,但用法有所不同,它们的区别如下:

  (一)await是及物动词,后面直接接宾语;wait虽然也可用作及物动词,但在现代英语中,一般作不及物动词用,与for,to,till,until等词连用。

  (二)await的宾语大都是抽象名词,如:decision,reply,arrival,announcement,return等;wait for的宾语一般是人或事物。

  The judge awaits the coroner's inquest before giving a verdict.

  法官在作裁决前等待验尸官的调查。

  I have been waiting for her for an hour at the bus stop.

  我在公共车站等候她已一小时了。

  (三)await之后接动名词;wait之后接动词不定式。例如:

  We shall await hearing further from them.

  We shall wait to hear further from them.

  我们在静候他们进一步的消息。

  (四)await多用于书面语;wait 多用于口语。如:

  This plan awaits the approval of the board of directors.

  这项计划有待董事局批准。

  I have been waiting here for a long time.

  我已在这里等了好久了。

  (五)wait 除作动词外,还可用作名词。例:

  I had a long wait for the train.

  我等火车等了好久。

  They pursue a policy of wait and see.

  他们采取等待和观望的政策。

  如上所述,wait在特定情况下也可以用作及物动词,例如:to wait your turn;to wait one's opportunity。

  请注意下列句子中await和wait的使用场合:

  We await (or wait for)your reply.

  We wait for(不能用await)you to reply.

  I shall wait to bring her home.(不能用await)

  I await (or wait for)your ruling on the matter with some impatience.

  当await的主语是没有生命的事物而宾语是人时,await表示 be in store或lie in wait for之意。如:

  On arriving at the guest house,he found a telegram awaiting him.

  Little did he realize what a surprise awaited him at home.

  A hearty welcome will await you.

  请注意,Time and tide wait(s)for no man(岁月不待人)的wait既可以加s,亦可不加s。
