单词 | always(often) |
释义 | always : often — 66 1a. 表达时间,前者没有“频率”的含义,所以不能用 quite 或 very 来修饰,也不能用 how 来提问;反之,后者由于含有“频率”的义蕴,既可用 quite 或 very 来修饰,又可用 how 来提问。 例如: He always gets up early in the morning. 他经常一清早就起床。(不说 He very always …) He gets up early in the morning very often. 他常常一清早就起床。(可以用 very 来修饰 often ) How often does he go to the cinema? 他多久去一次电影院?(不说 How always …) 1b. 因此,对两者在句中的词序,我们又得注意到这一点:在一般情况下,两者的词序比较固定,总是放在 be 动词之后或在作谓语的实义动词之前。但是,如果后者加饰了 quite 或 very ,它就得放在句首或句末,以示强调。 例如: He is always at home in the evening. 他晚上总是在家。 The sun always rises in the east. 太阳总是从东方升起。 She is often very pretty. 她一向非常美丽。 He often gets up early in the morning. 他早晨常起得早。 比较: Quite / Very often he gets up early in the morning. 他经常早晨起得早。(放在句首,强调最有力) He gets up early in the morning quite / very often. 他经常早晨起得早。(放在句末,强调较有力) 2. 前者可以用于进行时态,但所表达的情态往往是贬义的;后者则从不用于进行时态。 例如: Why are you always finding faults? 你为什么老是吹毛求疵? He's always asking silly questions. 他老是问些傻里傻气的问题。 |
