For more than a hundred years critics have stigmatized the use ofwait on ( and somewhat less frequentlywait upon ) to mean roughly “await” or “wait for,”as inWe are still waiting on the committee vote. This use is so widespread in both educated speech and reputable writingthat the traditional objections have come to seem unnecessary.
一百多年来评论家一直贬低wait on ( 有时也较少使用wait upon ) 作为“等待”或“等候”意义的用法,如在我们仍在等待委员会的投票. 这种用处在演讲和写作中用的是如此普遍,以至于原来的反对已经看起来不必要了

等待,等候
