单词 | long(for a long time, a long time) |
释义 | long : time ,( for ) a long ~— 536 1a. 表达时间,除非是同 so 、 too 、 as … as 和 enough 搭配,前者这个副词通常总是用于否定和疑问两种结构;肯定结构,则要改用后者这个短语。 例如: I have watched TV long enough. So long, everybody ! 电视我已看得够久了。各位,再见! Stay as long as you like. 你喜欢呆多久,就呆多久。 比较:“ Did you niece stay long? ”—“ No , she didn't staylong. ”“你侄女呆得久吗?”——“不,她没有呆多久。” “ Did your niece stay long? ”—“ Yes , she stayed a long time. ” “你侄女呆得久吗?”——“是的,她呆得很久。” “ Have you been working here long? ”—“ No , not long , butmy brother's been in the firm for a very long time. ”“你在这里工作已很久了吗?”——“不,没多久,可我老兄在这家公司已工作了很长时间了。” 1b. 即使用于否定结构,两者的意思也不一样。试举例来说明。 比较: He didn't speak for long. 他只讲了很短的时间。( =Heonly spoke for a short time. ) He didn't speak for a long time. 在发言前他已有很长时间没有讲话了。 ( =It was a long time before he spoke. ) He didn't work for long. 他没有干多久。( =He soon stopped working. ) He didn't work for a long time. 他失业已很久了。(= Hewas unemployed for a long time. ) |
