Already的使用方法

Already的使用方法

already的用法

1. 一般用于肯定句，不用于否定句或疑问句 (此时用 yet)，不过有时在疑问句中也用它，那主要是用来表示惊讶 (且多用于句末)。如：Is

heback already? 他怎么就回来了? Has she gone to bed already?她就上床睡了? Has she gone to bed already?2. 通常放在行为动词之前，特殊动词之后，有时为了表示惊讶的语气通常放在句末。注意：一般不能直接放在时间副词之前。如：9点钟我已离开了家。正：I had already left home at

nine o’clock. 正：Already at nine o’clock I had left home. 正：3. 不要认为 already只用于现在完成时，其实除现在完成时外，它还可用于动作动词的进行时以及状态动词的一般现在时或一般过去时等。如：When I

came in, he was already laying the table. 我进来时，他已在摆桌子了。It’s

already late. 已经很迟了。

He already knew about it.

那时他已知道此事了。

Already的使用方法

副词“already”是最常被错误使用的单词之一。在我所阅读过学术论文中，对其使用超过一半是错误的 。多数情况下，直接将句子中的“already”删去即可解决这一问题。

“already”通常用来表示某一动作已经结束，或者某一状态已经形成。

但很多情况下即使没有它的存在，通过文章内容也可明确这一点。此时，就没有特意强调“已经结束了”的必要，即不必使用“already”。

以下是「already」的典型错误用法：

举例 (1) [误] This model was already investigated in Ref. .

(1) [正] This model was investigated in Ref. .

(2) [误] There have already been several long-term studies on the side

effects of Ritalin on adults.

(2) [正] There have been several long-term studies on the side effects

of Ritalin on adults.

(2) [正] There are several existing long-term studies on the side

effects of Ritalin on adults.

already与yet的区别

Already and Yet - Used with the Present Perfect

already和yet——用于现在完成时态

Both already and yet refer activities around the present moment in

time.[/en

二者指的都是现在某个活动。

I have already finished my lunch.

我已经吃完午饭了。

Have you seen Tom yet ?

你看到汤姆了吗?

They haven't visited Rome yet .

他们没有去罗马。

Already - Referring To a Past Event

指过去的事件

Already is used to something that happened before the moment of

speaking. However, it refers to something that affects the present moment

in time. Let's take a look at a few examples:

already用来指发生于说话之前的事件。但是，它指代的是对现在产生影响的事件。下面我们看看几个例子;

I have already finished the report.

我已经完成报告了。

This sentence could be used to express the idea that I finished the

report and it is ready to read now.

该句话可以用来表示，我完成了报告，现在可以看了。

She has already seen that film.

她已经看过那个电影了。

This sentence might express that the woman saw the film in the past,

so she has no desire in the present moment to see the film.

该句话可以用来表示，这位女士之前看过这场电影，所以她现在不想再看了。

They have already eaten.

他们已经吃完了。

This sentence would probably be used to state that they are no longer

hungry in the present moment.

该句话可以用来表示，他们现在不饿了的意思。

The key to using 'already' is to remember thatan action that has

happened in the past - often in the recent past - affects the present

moment or a decision about the present moment in time and therefore is

used with the present perfect tense.

already用法的关键所在就是，记住这个动作是发生在过去——通常是最近——对现在或现在的决定产生影响，因此要用现在完成时态。

Already - Sentence Placement

句中的位置

Already is placed between the auxiliary verb 'have' and the participle

form of the verb. It is used in the positive form and should not be used in

the negative.

Already位于助动词have和动词的分词形式之间。它用于主动语态，而非被动语态。

Subject + have / has + already + past participle + objects

主语+have/has+already+过去分词+宾语

I have already seen that film.

我已经看过这个电影了。

Mary has already been to Seattle.

玛丽已经去过西雅图了。

NOT!!

错误用法：

I have seen already that film.

我已经看过这个电影了。

Already is generally not used in the question form. However, when

expressing surprise in a rhetorical question it is sometimes used in informal

conversations.

already一般不用于疑问句中。但是，当以反问的形式表达惊讶时，already可以用于一些非正式对话中。

Have you already eaten?!

你已经吃完了?!

Have you already finished?!

你已经完成了?!

Yet - Asking Questions

用于疑问句中

Yet is used to check whether something has occurred up to the

present moment.

yet用于确认某事目前有没有发生。

Have you seen that film yet ?

你看过那个电影吗?

Has Tim done his homework yet ?

蒂姆做完作业了吗?

You may notice that there is a similarity to the use of 'ever ' in the

present perfect to ask a question:

你可能会注意到，这种用法与现在完成时态中关于ever的疑问句类似：

Have you ever seen that film?

你看过那个电影吗?

Have you seen that film yet ?

你看过那个电影吗?

These questions are very similar in meaning, but yet is generally used

to ask about something closer to the present moment. Yet is often used

when someone expects something to have occurred recently.

这些问句在意义上十分相似，但是yet一般用于询问不久前发生的某件事。Yet常用于某人期望最近发生某事。

Have you finished that report yet ?

你完成报告了吗?

In this case a colleague expects the report to be finished soon.

在这种情况下，同事是希望报告可以很快完成的。

NOT

错误用法：

Have you ever finished that repot?

你完成报告了吗?

Ever is used to ask about experience in general, not whether

something specific has been completed recently.

ever一般用来询问是否经历某事，而不是具体的某件事最近是否完成了。

Yet - Question Placement

句中的位置

Yet is always placed at the end of a question. Notice that yet is not

used with question words as questions with yet are yes/no questions.

yet常位于疑问句的末尾。注意：yet不会和疑问词搭配在一起，因为带有yet的疑问句都是关于是/否的句子。

Have + subject + past participle + objects + yet + ?

have+主语+过去分词+宾语+yet+?

Have you finished that report yet ?

你完成报告了吗?

Has she bought a new car yet ?

她买了新车了吗?

Yet - Negative Form

用于否定句中

Yet is also used in the negative to express that something that is

expected has not yet happened. In this case, yet is placed at the end of the

sentence.

yet也可以用于否定句，用来表示期望某事不要发生。在这种情况下，yet位于句末。

Subject + have not / has not + past participle + objects + yet

主语+have not/has not+过去分词+宾语+yet

She hasn't finished the report yet .

她没有完成报告。

Doug and Tom haven't telephoned yet .

道格和汤姆没有通电话。

Already - With the Past Perfect

用于过去完成时

Already can also be used with the past perfect to express that

something had happened before something else. It is used in the same

senses explained previously with present perfect usage.

already也可以用于过去完成时，用来表达某事发生于另一事件之前。在之前现在完成时的句子中，也可以使用already。

She had already eaten when he arrived.

当他到达时，她已经吃完了。

Jackson had already done his homework when he was asked for help.

当他求助时，杰克逊已经完成作业了。

Already - With the Future Perfect

用于将来完成时

Already is also used with the future perfect to express that something

will have been completed before something else occurs.

already也可以用于将来完成时，用来表达某事在另一事之前发生。

She will have already finished the paperwork before the meeting.

她在会议之前就可以完成文书工作。

Frank will have already prepared the report by the time the boss asks

for it.

在老板问起之前，法兰克就会准备好报告。

“already”“still”等常用副词你用错过吗?

Just

当我们想要表达不久以前(最近)发生的事情时，就会使用just。它常与现在完成时或过去完成时一起使用。

它常用在辅助动词(have / has)和过去分词之间，可以用于肯定和疑问句。

BBC英语：一分钟搞懂Still, Already 和 Yet的用法

Hi! I'm Phil from BBC Learning English. Today, I'm going to tell you

the difference between still, already and yet.

大家好!我是BBC英语学习频道的菲尔。今天我们来学习still, already

和 yet 三个词的区别。

They all talk about things around the present, but they don't mean

the same.

这三个词都可以表示一般现在时，但意思却不尽相同。

We use still to talk about something that hasn't finished. Are you still

studying? Let's go out!

still 用于表示尚未完成的某事。你还在学习?我们出去玩玩吧!

We use already to talk about something that has finished, and maybe

we didn't think it would have by now. She's already finished work. She's

gone home.

already 则用来表示已经做完的或我们认为目前不会发生的事。她已经把工作做完并且回家了。

We useyet in questions and negatives to talk about things that

haven't happened, but we think they will. Haven't you left yet? You'll be

late!

yet 用于疑问句或否定句中，表示尚未发生但我们认为会发生的事。你怎么还没走?你要迟到了!

So just remember: Things that are still happening, haven't finished.

Things that have already happened, have finished and things that are yet

to happen, haven't started.

所以，请记住： 已发生但尚未完成用still;已发生且已完成用already;即将发生但尚未发生用yet。
