adv.（副詞）
For a short time.
片刻，少頃，暫時

Awhile, an adverb, is never preceded by a preposition such as for, but the two-word forma while may be preceded by a preposition. In writing, each of the following is acceptable:stay awhile; stay for a while; stay a while (but not stay for awhile ).
Awhile 作為副詞從不置于介詞，如 for 之后， 但介詞可放在兩個詞組成的a while 之前。 在書面語中，以下幾種寫法都是可以接受的：stay awhile；stay for a while；stay a while （但是不能寫成 stay for awhile ）
