v.(动词)

expect的基本意思是“期待”“料想”,指相信或盼望有人会来或有事会发生,这种预料多有一定的根据,强调的是客观可能性,多用于好的方面,在口语中expect的意思常淡化为“认为”“想”,此时主语多为第一人称单数。

expect多用作及物动词,可接名词、代词、动词不定式或that从句作宾语,也可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语。

expect所接的that从句在表示“预料”“期望”时可用虚拟式,在作“想”“认为”解时可用陈述式, that有时可以省略。

expect的宾语从句若是否定式,常可用于转移否定结构,即把否定词移至主句。但在对话中则既可采用I don't expect so的形式,也可采取I expect not的形式,后者为非正式的语体。

expect后有时可用so和not分别代替前面的句子或分句的肯定式或否定式宾语。

在表示过去未曾实现的“期望”“预料”时,须用过去完成时,而不用一般过去时。

expect是表示思想状态的动词,一般不用于进行体,但在表示语气婉转时可用于现在进行时。

expect还可用作“怀孕”的委婉说法,此时需用进行体。

expect of和expect from都可表示“指望”“期望”,意思相同,可互换使用。

expect的过去分词expected可用作形容词,在句中作表语或定语。

v.(动词)她希望明天走。

误 She expects leaving tomorrow.

正 She expects to leave tomorrow.

析 expect后只可接动词不定式,而不可接动名词。

我认为今天晚些时候不会下雨。

误 I expect it won't rain later today.

正 I don't expect it will rain later today.

析 expect的宾语从句若是否定式,否定词须移至主句。

你们到得比预料得早。

误 You arrived earper than expecting.

正 You arrived earper than expected.

析 expect用在than或as引导的状语从句中,可以用一个省略句,但是省略句的主语和主句的主语必须一致。

母亲好几天就盼望你回家了。

误 Mother has been expecting you to come back for several days.

正 Mother has been expecting you for several days.

析 expect已有“盼望…(回)来”的意思,后面不必再用to come back。
