| 词组 | anticipate |
| 释义 | 1．anticipate 和 expect 意思略有不同。anticipate 指可喜的事，有“盼望”的意思，expect 不一定指可喜的事，如可以说 We anticipate his arrival，不可说 We anticipate his death，但可以说 We expect his arrival 和 We expect his death。 就结构讲，anticipate 和 expect 后面都可以接以 that 引导的从句，如可以说 We expect that this will happen 和 We anticipate that this will happen。但 expect 后面可以接宾语和不定式，anticipate 却不可以，如可以说 We expect this to happen，却不可说 We anticipate this to happen。 anticipate 和 expect 还有一点不同：expect 后面接不定式，anticipate 后面接动名词，如 I expect to read the book with great interest 和 I anticipate reading the book with great interest。 2．有时 anticipate 含有“有所准备”的意思。例如：She anticipated our arrival by cooking a good dinner. |
