词组 | await |
释义 | await If you await something, you expect it to come or happen, and you are often not intending to take some action until it comes or happens. Daisy had remained behind to await her return. I shall await the appointment of the tribunal which will clear my name. We must await the results of field studies yet to come. Await is a fairly common word in formal writing, but you do not usually use it in conversation. Instead you use wait for, often followed by an object and a 'to'-infinitive. For example, instead of saying 'I awaited her reply', you say 'I waited for her to reply'. I waited for Kate to return. They just waited for me to die. |
