| 词组 | baited, bated |
| 释义 | baited, bated Heritage 1982 and Bryson 1984 point out that in the phrase "with bated breath" the bated is sometimes misspelled baited: • ... we wait and wait with baited breath —N. Y. Times, 15 June 1980 Bryson has an example from a British newspaper. The verb bate is related to abate. Here are a couple of proper examples: • ... find yourself waiting with bated breath for the next issue —Randall Collins, Change, Winter 197273 • And you are less than human if the exorcism sequence and its build-up don't bate your breath — Judith Crist, New York, 21 Jan. 1974 |
