VoorpretvsAnticipation
The short answer
Overlapping but not identical. English 'anticipation' is neutral and can be anxious. Voorpret is specifically the pleasurable portion of waiting, and it's a concrete countable experience rather than a mental stance. 'Anticipatory pleasure' is the accurate translation; 'anticipation' alone is too broad.
