Anticipate.[usage-anticipate]

Anticipate. 表示单纯的预期时,应用expect。

  • 误:I anticipated that he would look older.
  • 正:I expected that he would look older.
  • 误:My brother anticipated the upturn in the market.
  • 正:My brother expected the upturn in the market.

在第二例中,anticipated一词含义模糊。它可能仅仅表示这位兄弟相信行情会上涨,也可能表示他在预期上涨之前就采取了行动——也许是买进了股票。
