常见错误

v.(动词)

误 He said he couldn't wait to Monday.
正 He said he couldn't wait till Monday.
析表示“等到某一时刻”,应该用until或till,不用to。

误 I'll wait you at the gate.
正 I'll wait for you at the gate.
析表示“等某人”时, wait用作不及物动词,其后须加介词for。
我正等着某人告诉我发生了什么事。
误 I'm waiting that someone tells me what happened.
正 I'm waiting for someone to tell me what happened.
析wait后面不可以接that从句,表示“等某人做某事”可以说wait for sb to do sth。
她从早到晚服侍她丈夫。
误 She waits her husband on from morning till night.
正 She waits on her husband from morning till night.
析wait作“服侍”“伺候”“招待”解时,用wait on〔upon〕 sb 形式。其中on是介词,不是副词,宾语只能放在on之后。

正 She will never learn to wait at table.
析表示“侍候人吃饭”,可以说wait at table,这是英式英语,美式英语中则说wait on table, table前都不加冠词。
他在等待机会。
误 He is waiting for his opportunity.
正 He is waiting his opportunity.
析wait表示“等待”,接chance, opportunity等抽象名词作宾语时一般用作及物动词。

正 I'll wait for the photos to be ready.
析wait for后跟含to的不定式短语的复合宾语, to不可省略。
