Do not confuse expect, wait for, and look forward to. When you are expecting someone or something, you think that the person or thing is going to arrive or that the thing is going to happen. I sent a postcard so they were expecting me... We are expecting rain.When you wait for someone or something, you stay in the same place until the person arrives or the thing happens. Whisky was served while we waited for him... We got off the plane and waited for our luggage. When you look forward to something that is going to happen, you feel happy because you think you will enjoy it. I'll bet you're looking forward to your holidays... I always looked forward to seeing her.
不要混淆expect,wait for和look forward to。expect表示认为某人或某物即将到达,或某事即将发生:I sent a postcard so they were expecting me(我寄了张明信片,这样他们就会知道我要来),We were expecting rain(我们预计会下雨)。wait for表示在原地等某人到达或者某事发生:Whisky was served while we waited for him(我们等他的时候,威士忌端上来了),We got off the plane and waited for our luggage(我们下了飞机,等着领取行李)。look forward to表示期盼某事发生,因为会从中获取乐趣:I'll bet you're looking forward to your holidays(我敢肯定你在盼望着假期到来),I always looked forward to seeing her (我一直盼望见到她)。
