"expecting" in Chinese (Simplified)
期待怀孕
Definition
指预料某事会发生,或等着某人到来。它也可以表示怀孕,尤其是在像 'She is expecting.' 这样的说法中。
Usage Notes (Chinese (Simplified))
这个词很常用于进行时,如 'I'm expecting a call' 或 'We're expecting guests.' 表示怀孕时,'expecting' 是比 'pregnant' 更委婉、常见的说法。不要和 'waiting' 混淆:'expecting' 强调你认为将会发生什么,而不只是单纯地等待。
