用法
Some people hold that anticipate is improperly used as a simple synonym for expect; they would restrict its use to situations in which advance action is taken either to forestall (anticipate her opponent's next move ) or to fulfill ( anticipate my desires ). In earlier surveys, however, a majority of the Usage Panel accepted the use of anticipate to mean 「to feel or to realize beforehand」 and 「to look forward to.」 The word unanticipated, however, is not established as a synonym for unexpected. Thus 77 percent of the Usage Panel rejected the sentence They always set aside a little extra food for unanticipated guests, inasmuch as guests for whom advance provision has been made cannot be said to be unanticipated, though they may very well be unexpected.
有些人認為把anticipate 作為 expect 的簡單同義詞並不恰當； 他們把這個詞的用法限制在某種情境中，即搶在…之前行動(搶在對手的下步之前行動 )或滿足( 滿足我的慾望 )。 然而，在以前的調查中，用法專題小組大多數成員所接受的anticipate 的意思是「預感、預知」和「期望」。 可是，unanticipated 這個詞並不能作為 unexpected 的同義詞。 這樣一來，用法專題小組中77%的人都不同意下面這句話他們總是額外留出一些食物給未預料到的客人 ， 既然已提前為這些客人們準備了食物，就不能說他們是未預料的，儘管他們是不速之客
