用法辨析

v. (動詞)

• expect的基本意思是“期待”“料想”,指相信或盼望有人會來或有事會發(fā)生,這種預(yù)料多有一定的根據(jù),強(qiáng)調(diào)的是客觀可能性,多用于好的方面,在口語中expect的意思常淡化為“認(rèn)為”“想”,此時主語多為第一人稱單數(shù)。
• expect多用作及物動詞,可接名詞、代詞、動詞不定式或that從句作賓語,也可接以動詞不定式充當(dāng)補(bǔ)足語的復(fù)合賓語。
• expect所接的that從句在表示“預(yù)料”“期望”時可用虛擬式,在作“想”“認(rèn)為”解時可用陳述式, that有時可以省略。
• expect的賓語從句若是否定式,?？捎糜谵D(zhuǎn)移否定結(jié)構(gòu),即把否定詞移至主句。但在對話中則既可采用I don't expect so的形式,也可采取I expect not的形式,后者為非正式的語體。
• expect后有時可用so和not分別代替前面的句子或分句的肯定式或否定式賓語。
• 在表示過去未曾實現(xiàn)的“期望”“預(yù)料”時,須用過去完成時,而不用一般過去時。
• expect是表示思想狀態(tài)的動詞,一般不用于進(jìn)行體,但在表示語氣婉轉(zhuǎn)時可用于現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時。
• expect還可用作“懷孕”的委婉說法,此時需用進(jìn)行體。
