常见错误	Confusing with 'expect' – 'anticipate' implies preparation., Using 'anticipate' without an object – it should always have something anticipated.	Using 'await' without an object, e.g., 'I await.' should be 'I await your response.', 'Await for' is incorrect; 'await' does not take 'for'., Confusing with 'wait' which is more common in conversation.	Confused with 'hope' - 'expect' is more certain than 'hope'., Using 'expect' without an object - remember it often needs a person or thing., Misplacing the infinitive after 'expect' - make sure to use 'to + verb'.
用法说明	用'预期'来表达对未来事件或行动的期待。避免在随意对话中使用。 Use 'anticipate' to express expectation about future events or actions. Avoid for casual conversations.	通常用在比较正式的场合，尤其是在书面语里。口语中不太常用。注意：它后面直接跟宾语，不需要加介词 'for'，这一点和 'wait for' 不同，但意思很接近。 Used in formal contexts, often in writing. Not typical in casual speech. Don't confuse with 'wait for'—they are similar but 'await' is used without 'for'.	在口语和书面英语中都可以使用'期待'。它是中性的，适合正式和非正式场合。避免在不确定的结果中使用。 Use 'expect' in both spoken and written English. It's neutral, suitable for both formal and informal contexts. Avoid using it with uncertain outcomes.
