wait for, expect

这两个词(组)的共同意思是“等待”。其区别是：

expect指的是一种等待的心境,并非除此以外不干任何事情。例如:

He is expecting a letter.他正在等一封信。

wait for则强调动作本身,即不干别的事而专门等待。例如:

“Why are you standing here?” “I am waiting for Mr. Green.”“你站在这儿干什么?”“我在等格林先生。”

wait, await

这两个词都有“等待”的意思,其区别是：

1.await是正式用词,常用于书面语,不如wait常用。

2.await后面可以接动名词作宾语,但不可接不定式, wait后面可以接不定式作状语,但不可接动名词,如：I shall await hearing from you和I shall wait to hear from you。这两句里的await和wait不可对调。

3.await, wait for这二者含义相同,但wait for后面接了宾语还可以加上不定式,而await却不可,如：I am waiting for him to come(我在等着他来。)里的waiting for不可改作awaiting。

wait，await

这两个动词均含“等，等待”之意。

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。

await正式用词，及物动词，通常指不断等待，多含耐心意味。
