沒有什么特殊含義。
wait可以是動(dòng)詞,也可以是名詞。當(dāng)wait是動(dòng)詞時(shí), 其一般為不及物動(dòng)詞,wait應(yīng)遵循動(dòng)詞的語法規(guī)則。不同時(shí)態(tài)用不同的形式。wait的第三人稱單數(shù)是 waits,現(xiàn)在分詞是waiting,過去式是waited,過去分詞是aited。wait是動(dòng)詞時(shí),有以下三種含義:
1、wait的英文含義為“to stay where you are or delay doing sth until sb/sth comes or sth happens”,即“等,等待,等候”。例句:Amy rang the bell and waited.艾米按鈴后等候著。
2、wait的英文含義為“to hope or watch for sth to happen, especially for a long time”,即“盼望,期待”。當(dāng)為這種含義時(shí),wait后常跟for,表示對(duì)某種事物長(zhǎng)時(shí)間地盼望。例如:This is just the opportunity I've been waitingfor.這正是我一直在期待的機(jī)會(huì)。
3、wait的英文含義是“to be left to be dealt with at a later time because it is not urgent”,即“ 推遲,擱置”。例子:I've got some calls to make but they can waituntil tomorrow.我有幾個(gè)電話要打,不過可以等到明天再說。當(dāng)wait是名詞時(shí),其通常用于歌曲中,意思是“an act of waiting or an amount of time waited”,即“等待,等待的時(shí)間”。例句如下:Alice had a long waitfor the bus.愛麗絲等公共汽車等了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。
