词语用法

v. (动词)

1. anticipate的基本意思有二。一是“预先处理”,可指在规定的时间或适当的次序之前先行、先付、先用,常含有“不必要地、不适当地”等意味; 也指抢在某计划或某行动执行之前采取措施阻止其实现; 还可指如先知者那样先知先行。二是“预感”“期望”,即在事先预见或预知某事的存在或将发生。这种预感或期望一定是在事先曾遭受或体味到的,或者事后实现了的,除此之外的预感(如通过推理而预知者)不可使用本词。
2. anticipate是及物动词,一般接名词、动名词和名词从句作宾语,可用于被动结构。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

anticipate, expect, look for, look forward to

• 这组词(组)的共同意思是“期待,等待”。其区别是：
• expect指“等待某事发生”,常有一定的根据,发生的可能性较大；anticipate含有“预先体味”的意味；look for是日常用词,也可表示“期待”；look forward to指以欢乐或焦急的心情期待某事发生。例如:
• I expect to see some fine films during the holidays.我期望假期能看上几部好电影。
• We anticipate that we shall hear from you again.我们预感到将会再接到你的信。
• I think we may look for a better result next time.我想下次结果可能会好一些。
• I'm looking forward to your visit.我期待着你的来访。

anticipate, foreknow, foresee

• 这组词都有“预知”的意思,其区别是：
• anticipate指依据事先所曾经历过的体验而预知; foreknow指通过自然的力量或超自然的力量预知; foresee则不表明怎样预知,可通过灵感或想象,也可通过推理。试体会下面三句的意思:
• We anticipated that they would be late.
• 我们预料他们会迟到。
• Who would foreknow the miseries of man?
• 谁能预知人类的苦难?
• Things turned out to be exactly as he had foreseen.
