anticipate
1.anticipate和expect意思略有不同。anticipate指可喜的事，有“盼望”的意思，expect不一定指可喜的事，如可以说We anticipate his arrival，不可说We anticipate his death，但可以说We expect his arrival和We expect his death。
就结构讲，anticipate和expect后面都可以接以that引导的从句，如可以说We expect that this will happen和We anticipate that this will happen。但expect后面可以接宾语和不定式，anticipate却不可以，如可以说We expect this to happen，却不可说We anticipate this to happen。
anticipate和expect还有一点不同：expect后面接不定式，anticipate 后面接动名词，如I expect to read the book with great interest和I anticipate reading the book with great interest。
2.有时anticipate含有“有所准备”的意思。例如：She anticipated our arrival by cooking a good dinner.
