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。
