In English there are a lot of ways to ask someone to wait.

在英語中，有很多方法可以讓別人等待。

Let's go through a bunch of them.

讓我們去看看他們的一堆。

The first one is obvious.

第一個很明顯。

You can just say, "Wait" and someone usually will respond by waiting.

你可以直接說："等一下"，通常會有人以等待的方式迴應。

But you could also say, "Wait a second."

但你也可以說，"等一下"。

or "Wait a minute."

或 "等一下"。

And all of those would work interchangeably.

而且這些都可以互換使用。

But there's more.

但還有更多。

You could also say, "Hold on."

你也可以說，"等一下"。

Or

或

"Hold on a second."

"等一下。"

Or

或

"Hold a minute."

"等一下。"

And all of those would also encourage someone to wait.

而這些也都會鼓勵別人去等待。

But there's more!

但還有更多!

You could even say, "Hang on."

你甚至可以說："等一下。"

Or

或

"Hang on a second."

"等一下。"

Or

或

"Hang on a minute."

"等一下。"

And all of those would also encourage someone to wait.

而這些也都會鼓勵別人去等待。

Now as with a lot of things in English in the spoken form we use a few short forms.

現在和英語口語中的很多東西一樣，我們使用一些簡短的形式。

And with waiting it's really just the word "second".

而有了等待，其實也只是一個 "秒 "字。

We sometimes in spoken English say, "sec"

我們有時用英語口語說 "秒"

So you might say, "Wait a sec." or "Hold on a sec." or "Hang on a sec."

所以你可以說 "等一下 "或者 "等一下 "或者 "等一下"。

And all of those would mean the same thing as, "Hold on a second."

而所有這些都和 "等一下 "的意思一樣。

or "Wait a second."

或 "等一下"。

In addition you could also say, "Whoa!" and that usually causes someone to stop right

此外，你還可以說，"哇！"，這通常會使人停下來的權利。

away.

走了。

And there is also another phrase.

還有另外一句話。

You could say, "Not so fast."

你可以說："沒那麼快。"

to ask someone to slow down.

叫別人慢下來。

"Not so fast Bob, you're speaking too quickly."

"別這麼快，鮑勃，你說話太快了。"

"Not so fast.

"沒那麼快。

Not so fast there."

那裡沒那麼快。"

Another one, which isn't quite as familiar as the rest is the term, "Hold your horses."

還有一個，沒有其他的那麼熟悉，就是 "握住你的馬 "這個詞。

And "Hold your horses."means wait just like all the other ones.

而 "Hold住你的馬。"的意思是等待，就像所有其他的。

Well that's a number of ways to ask someone to wait in English.

好吧，這是用英語讓別人等待的一些方法。
