用法
For more than a hundred years critics have stigmatized the use of wait on ( and somewhat less frequently wait upon ) to mean roughly 「await」 or 「wait for,」 as in We are still waiting on the committee vote. This use is so widespread in both educated speech and reputable writing that the traditional objections have come to seem unnecessary.
一百多年來評論家一直貶低wait on ( 有時也較少使用wait upon ) 作為「等待」或「等候」意義的用法，如在我們仍在等待委員會的投票。 這種用處在演講和寫作中用的是如此普遍，以至於原來的反對已經看起來不必要了
