So many turkeys and chickens were slain and thrown into the earth, their troubled essences await retribution. #The troubled mind of one Carol-Anne Hutz, a child who has already witnessed your terrible powers once, has become home for Hardboiled, a gestalt of the headless necks and ruffled feathers of the departed.#Aid this poltergeist in emptying the house of the taint of rational human presence and you will acquire a valuable new ally."

一、语法差异

‌1、及物性‌

‌2、后续结构‌

二、语义与使用场景

‌1、语义侧重‌

‌2、正式程度‌

三、其他区别

‌词性扩展‌：wait可作名词（如a long wait），await仅作动词。
‌被动语态‌：wait可用于被动（The package is waited for），await不可。

‌

总结‌：两者核心区别在于语法要求（及物性）和语境（正式性）。

实际使用中，wait更通用，await需注意宾语类型和正式场合。

独立主格结构（Absolute Construction）是英语语法中的一种特殊句式，具有独特的构成方式和功能。以下是其核心要点：

一、定义与特点

1. ‌结构组成‌：由两部分构成——

o 逻辑主语（名词或代词）

o 逻辑谓语（非谓语动词[不定式/分词]、形容词、副词、介词短语等）

两者形成逻辑上的主谓或主表关系。

2. ‌独立性‌：虽称为“独立”，实为从属成分，需依附主句存在，常用逗号隔开。

3. ‌非句子性‌：无真正的主谓结构，仅作短语使用，不能单独成句。

二、常见形式与例句

1. ‌名词/代词+分词‌：

o ‌现在分词‌（表主动）：Weather permitting, we'll go hiking（若天气允许，我们将徒步）。

o ‌过去分词‌（表被动）：The job finished, they left（工作完成后，他们离开了）。

2. ‌名词/代词+不定式‌：He proposed a plan, some to support it（他提出计划，部分人支持）。

3. ‌名词/代词+形容词/副词/介词短语‌：

o He sat silent, eyes closed（他沉默坐着，双眼紧闭）。

o She stood there, book in hand（她站在那儿，手持书本）。

4. ‌with复合结构‌：With the door locked, he felt safe（门锁着，他感到安全）。

三、功能与用法

1. ‌状语功能‌：可表示时间、原因、条件、伴随等，相当于状语从句。例如：

o ‌时间‌：The meeting over, everyone left（会议结束后，所有人离开）。

o ‌原因‌：His leg broken, he couldn't walk（腿骨折了，他无法行走）。

2. ‌书面语倾向‌：多见于正式或描绘性文本，口语中较少使用。

四、注意事项

1. ‌逻辑主语一致性‌：独立主格结构的逻辑主语必须与主句主语不同，否则需改用非独立结构。

2. ‌时态与语态‌：分词的选用需根据与逻辑主语的关系（主动用现在分词，被动用过去分词）。

‌总结‌：独立主格结构通过灵活的逻辑组合增强句子表现力，是英语高级语法的重要特征，掌握其规则对写作和阅读分析均有助益。

TEXT_HC_FP_1      "The perky antics of the insufferable Kappa Lambda sorority house are excruciating at best. Ordinarily they would be beneath our attention, but since your recent success terrifying the Alpha Tau fraternity, they have become strangely cautious.#The sorority house recently accepted three new pledges as part of a plan to protect themselves against any future attacks from the spirit world, a coven of student witches. #The mortals must not be encouraged to invite protection against us - swift and decisive action is required. Drive the witches away from the sorority house."

TEXT_FACEPACKS_INTRO    "Drive the witches away from the sorority house."

TEXT_HC_FP_3      "The witches` protective circle has been broken, leaving them delightfully vulnerable?

TEXT_HC_FP_4      "With their circle broken, the witches will be without protection - now is the time to strike!"

TEXT_HC_FP_5      "Your Elementals have subverted the witches circle of protection! Now your own haunters will be immune to the witches magic!"
