關(guān)于expect的用法及解釋

  expect的用法在英語中是比較常見的一個(gè)單詞,也是容易混淆的知識(shí)點(diǎn)之一,接下來小編在這里給大家?guī)韊xpect的用法,我們一起來看看吧!

  expect的用法

  1. 表示“期待”“期望”,通常為及物動(dòng)詞,不要受漢語影響在其后誤加介詞for。如:

  我們不能期望一夜之間就取得成功。

  誤:We should not expect for success overnight.

  正:We should not expect success overnight.

  2. 后接動(dòng)詞時(shí)要用不定式,不用動(dòng)名詞。如:

  I didn’t expect to find you here. 我沒料到在這里碰到你。

  若語義需要,其后還可接不定式的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)。如:

  He expected her to go with him. 他期望她同他一起去。

  3. 不要認(rèn)為 expect 只表示“期待”“期望”,它還可表示“預(yù)計(jì)”“預(yù)料”等。如:

  I expect a storm. 我預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)有場暴風(fēng)雨來。

  I expect that I will be back on Sunday. 我預(yù)計(jì)星期日回來。

  有時(shí)可用于不好的方面。如:

  He expects to fail the exam. 他預(yù)料無法通過考試。

  另外,注意expect a baby這一慣用表達(dá),其意為“懷孕”。如:

  It’s public knowledge she’s expecting a baby. 大家都知道她已懷孕了。

  4. 其后可接 that 從句,若從句謂語為否定,注意否定的轉(zhuǎn)移。如:

  I don’t expect that he has done such a thing. 我預(yù)料他不會(huì)干出這種事來。

  在口語中有可表示“想”或“揣想”。如:

  I expect you’re tired. 我想你是累了吧。

  其后可接 that 從句,但不接疑問詞引導(dǎo)的從句,若遇有疑問詞,則要使用“疑問詞+do you expect…”這樣的句式。如:

  你想什么時(shí)候離開?

  誤:Do you expect when you will leave?

  誤:Do you expect when to leave?

  正:When do you expect to leave?

  5. 表示過去未曾實(shí)現(xiàn)的想法或打算,通常用過去完成時(shí),但在一定的上下文當(dāng)中,只要意思清楚,也可只用一般過去時(shí)。如:

  I had expected to come early, but I missed the early bus. 我本來想早點(diǎn)來的,但未趕上早班車。

  We expected him to arrive yesterday. 我們原以為他昨天就會(huì)到的。

  有時(shí)在其后接不定式的完成式,如上面第一句也可改成:

  I expected to have come early, but I missed the early bus.

  6. 有時(shí)用于“It+be+過去分詞+從句”結(jié)構(gòu),表示“預(yù)計(jì)……”。如:

  It’s expected that the war would end soon. 預(yù)計(jì)戰(zhàn)爭不久即可結(jié)束。

  It is expected that the report will suggest some major reforms. 預(yù)計(jì)這個(gè)報(bào)告會(huì)提出一些重大的改革。

  7. 注意as expected(不出所料)和than expected(比預(yù)料的更)這個(gè)搭配。如:

  He returned three days earlier than expected. 他回來的時(shí)間比預(yù)料的要早3天。

  The ascent of the mountain is proceeding as expected. 登山正在按計(jì)劃進(jìn)行。

  8. be (only) to be expected是一個(gè)很有用的表達(dá),其意為“在預(yù)料當(dāng)中的”“可能發(fā)生的”“相當(dāng)正常的”。如:

  His weakness after the illness is only to be expected. 他病后體弱是預(yù)料之中的事。

  It is only to be expected your son will leave home eventually. 兒子總歸要離開家的,這種事很難免。

  expect的相關(guān)解釋

  vt. 期望;預(yù)料;要求;認(rèn)為(某事)會(huì)發(fā)生

  vi. 預(yù)期;期待;懷胎;懷孕
