Question

be expected to do 和 be supposed to do 的区别

Answer 1

1、语气不同。be expected to do 被期待做某事、有望做某事。be supposed to do 理应做某事，口气更强一些。例：

He is expected to win the match. 他有望赢下那场比赛。

He was supposed to win the match. 他本该赢下那场比赛的。

2、对于要做的事而言，前者是一种期望，后者是一种责任。例：

She is expected to improve her bad temper. （指望她能改）

She is supposed to improve her bad temper. （应当去改正）

3、前者是被动用法，后者则不是。例：

You are expect to clean the house. 我希望你把房间打扫一下。

You are supposed to clean the house. 你应该把房间打扫一下。
