1、wait的基本意思是“等”，指在相当长的一段时间内停留在某个地方，直到某事发生或某人到来为止。
2、wait主要用作不及物动词，常与介词for连用。
3、wait用作及物动词通常用来指耐心地“等，等待”。在这种用法中其宾语仅限于hour， time， turn， return， arrival， opportunity， chance， orders， a fine day， aid， the result， the signal， convenience等名词。
wait，await这两个动词均含“等，等待”之意。区别：
1、wait普通用词，侧重静候于某处，直到等候或期待的人或事物的到来，通常用作不及物动词，与for连用。
2、await正式用词，及物动词，通常指不断等待，多含耐心意味。
