at this moment “现在，此刻”常与一般现在时连用, 也可写作at the moment, 近义词为now。
例：我妈妈此刻正在做饭。
My mother is cooking at the/this moment.
请你出来一会儿好吗？
Could you come out for a moment, please
请您稍等，他就回来。
Please wait for a moment. He will be back.
for a moment “片刻， 一会儿”，表示一小段
持续的时间。
2. They’re waiting for buses or trains.
例：快点儿！大家都等着呢！
Hurry up! Everyone is waiting!
wait“等待，等候”，是不及物动词。
当其后面跟宾语时，一定要加介词for。wait for后面可直接加名词作宾语: wait for sb./sth.，“等某人/物”；也可跟复合宾语: wait for sb. to do sth.， “等某人做某事”。
例：我正等你的信呢。
