用法辨析
- always是含有肯定意義的程度副詞,其基本意思是指某個行為發(fā)生頻率的百分之百或某種狀態(tài)存在的自始至終。
- always作“總是,永遠,始終”解時只與一般時連用,不與進行時連用。用于進行時或口語中表示再三的、多次的重復行為,常指令人不快或討人嫌的事情,不表示某時刻正在發(fā)生的動作。always有時可用于現(xiàn)在完成時,常譯為“一直〔向〕”“早已”。always有時還與can, could連用表示“無論如何”“實在不行的話”“當然,肯定”等。always用在口語中還有“厭煩”“氣憤”“不滿”“責備”“驚奇”“贊許”等意思。
- always在句中的位置比較固定,即總是在實義動詞之前,動詞be、助動詞或情態(tài)動詞之后。但在強調時, always也可放在動詞be、助動詞或情態(tài)動詞之前(這時動詞be、助動詞或情態(tài)動詞要重讀)。有時為表達感情, always也可放在句首或句末(這時always要重讀),在祈使句中, always可置于句首。
- always不能修飾not,但可被not修飾,即不說always not,只說not always表示部分否定。但always可修飾由表示否定意義的前后綴構成的形容詞,意為“總是不”。
- always不可用very或how修飾,因為其表示的頻率已經是100%,故不必再強調或詢問。
- always可用almost或nearly修飾,但不可用hardly修飾。
- always不用于比較等級。
- always指“每次,無例外的”,Rain and storm always comes with typhoon. always指得是百分百,如果十次中有八九次一樣,不能說always,只能說almost always。
