Wait和await一字之差,意思也差不多,但是用法有區别。
簡單來說,wait做“等候”講,後面可以接賓語,也可以不接:
· I will be right here waiting for you.
· “Time waits for no man,” goes the old proverb.
而await 後面一定要接賓語
l I await the exciting conclusion of the HBO series Game of Thrones in 2019.
l “I await your payment,” said the bounty hunter.
l They are awaiting the birth of their first child.
因此, I am awaiting.這樣的句子一定錯。
此外,wait的用法更普遍,也更現代,而await則顯得非常正式。
