Expected

“Expected”是形容词和”expect”的过去分词,表示被认为可能或确定会发生的;预期的。

  2. “The weather is expected to improve by the weekend.” (预计天气将在周末好转。)
  3. “The expected arrival time is 7 p.m.” (预计到达时间是晚上7点。)

“Expected”来自”expect”(来自拉丁语”expectare”(“等待”),“ex-” + “spectare”(“看”)),通过古法语”expecter”,过去分词”expected”在15-16世纪进入英语。

“Expected”由前缀”ex-”(出)+ 词根”spect-”(看)+ 后缀”-ed”(过去分词/形容词)构成。

“Expected”常用于描述根据以往经验、计划或预测而预期会发生的事情。

  • 动词原形: “expect”(期待)
  • 现在分词: “expecting”(正在期待)

“Expected”的音标是/ɪkˈspektɪd/,可以联想”expect”(期待)+ “-ed”(已…),想象已被期待的状态。
