wait vi.(for)等待，等候；(on)侍候，服侍/n.等待，等待的时间
〖题〗I am sorry to keep you ___ so long. A.waiting B.wait C.await D.awaiting
〖解〗答案A。句意：很抱歉让你等了那么久。wait和await都是“等候”的意思：await是及物动词，wait是不及物动词，后面常接介词for，如 I'm waiting for your answer.但wait后面可直接跟有些名词作宾语，如 I'm waiting my turn(his arrival,my chance,your decision,etc).另外，await后接动名词，wait后接不定式，如 I shall await hearing from you./I shall wait to hear from you. wait on表示“侍候”，如 wait on (at) table 侍候用餐。 |
