already的詳細講解:
詞語用法
- already的意思是“較早地”“提前”,可表示“比預想發生的時間早”,也可表示“比可能發生的時間早”,含有“想不到某事竟然已經發生了”或“以為某事會晚一些發生”的意味。
- already一般用于肯定句中。與動詞搭配時,靜態動詞多用一般式,動態動詞多用完成式。表示與現在時間相比而已經做過的事,即by this time,須用現在完成時; 表示與過去時間相比而已經做過的事,即by that time,用過去完成時或過去進行時。already不用于一般將來時。
- already偶爾也可用于疑問式,或者表示驚訝、懷疑,或者表示期望〔預計〕有一個肯定的回答。
- already在句中一般位于主要動詞前面,系動詞或助動詞后面。為了強調,可置于句末、句首或助動詞之前。
- already不用于比較等級。
-
用在疑問句中時,常表示驚訝。
Are you back already?
你已經回來了嗎? -
注意與all ready混淆。
He is already there.
他已在那了。He is all ready there.
他在那完全準備好了。
詞義辨析
- already, still
-
- 這兩個詞意思相近,但already指比預想的時間早, still指比預想的時間長。試比較以下兩個句子:
- The coffee is cold already.
- 咖啡已經涼了。
- The coffee is still hot.
- 咖啡還熱著。
- already, yet
-
- 這兩個詞意思相近,其區別是:
- 1.already多用于肯定句,而yet多用于疑問句或否定句。例如:
- The guests have already arrived.客人已經到了。
- Have the guests arrived yet?客人到了嗎?
- The guests have not arrived yet.客人還沒到。
- 2.already有時也可用于疑問句中表示驚訝、懷疑,或者表示期望〔預計〕有一個肯定的回答。試比較以下兩個句子:
- Have you had your lunch yet?
- 你吃過午飯了嗎?(一般疑問句)
- Have you had your lunch already?
- 你已經吃過午飯了?(表示驚訝)
- Have you received your invitation yet?
- 你收到邀請信了嗎?(一般疑問句)
- Have you already received your invitation?
- 你已經收到邀請信了吧?
- (料想已收到,想證實)
- 3.yet有時也可用于肯定句中,意思與still相同(仍然,還; 遲早),而與already不同。
- already, all ready
-
- 這兩者讀起來音相同,但卻絕非一回事。already是副詞, ready是形容詞; already的意思是“已經”, all ready的意思是“全準備好”, all用以表示程度。試比較:
- He is already there.
- 他已經在那兒了。
- He is all ready there.
- 他在那兒完全準備好了。
- The tea is already on the table.
- 茶已擺在茶幾上了。
- The tea is all ready on the table.
- 茶已沏好,擺在茶幾上了。
常見錯誤
-
他已起床。
誤 He already got up.
正 He has already got up.
析 already用于一般時態時,其謂語動詞必須是持續性動詞或狀態動詞,不可以是終止性動詞。
我14歲生日時就已經知道我一生要干的事。誤 Already on my fourteenth birthday I knew what I wanted to do with my life.
正 On my fourteenth birthday I already knew what I wanted to do with my life.
析 already不可與表示時間的副詞(短語)連用,應置于謂語動詞knew之前。
