hope和expect用法上有什么区别?请举例说明!

hope,expect
这两个词的词义和使用场合都有所不同.
（一）hope表示“希望”的意思；expect则是“等待”和“期望”.就词的使用而言,expect比hope是个较正式的用语.
（二）一般说来,hope常出于没有把握、没有根据的个人希望或愿望；expect是出于有把握和根据的期望.
（三）hope可作名词和动词；expect只能用作动词.
下面先看hope的例句：
I hope for a visit from Mr．Lee though I have no word from him．
虽然我没有收到李先生的信,但是我仍然希望他来看我.
The rain has continued for days and it is hoped that it will clear up in the next couple of days．
雨连续下了多天；希望以后数天会转晴.
We hurried to the train station in the hope of meeting our old friend．
我们匆匆忙忙地赶到火车站.希望能见到我们的老友.
在上面第一和第二个句子中,hope是动词；在第三句中,hope是名词.
下面是expect的例句：
I expect a visit from Mr．Zhang since he has written me that he is coming．
张先生写了一封信给我,说他就要来,所以我在等他来.
Torrential rain,squalls and wind were expected and the weather forecast warned that downpours would bring more flooding and landslides．
暴雨和狂风预期还会来.气象预报警告,大雨将会带来更多的大水泛滥及山泥倾泻.
在美国口语里,expect可用以表示“料想”、“以为”之意.例如：
I expect you met him in the meeting yesterday．
我以为你昨日在大会上已碰到他了.
注：在美国,hope之后接that引导的宾语从句,从句的谓语动词如果是一般现在时,它可以代替一般将来时态.例：I hope that I see him there．这里的see等于will see.
