中考英语语法知识:常考副词用法归纳(5)

初中英语语法知识：常考副词用法归纳（5）

一、副词presently的用法小议

1.表示“不久”，有两种用法值得注意:

(1) 若是用于过去时态，表示“不久以后”“不一会儿”，此时它通常是放在句首。如:

Presently,I fell asleep.不一会儿，我就睡着了。

Presently I heard her leave the house.不一会儿我听到她离开了房间。

(2) 若是用于将来时态，表示“马上”“很快”，此时它通常是放在句末。如:

He'l1 be here presently. 他马上就到这里。

The doctor will be here presently.医生马上就到。

有时单独使用:

A:Mummy, can I have an ice-cream?妈妈，我能吃一块冰凌淋吗?

B:Presently dear.过一会儿，乖乖。

2.表示“现在”“此刻”“眼下”，多用于美国英语，此时它通常放在所修饰的动词、形容词或名词之前:

These are the courses presently available. 这些就是现有的课程。

He's presently working on this problem.他目前正在研究这个问题。

There is presently no cure for the disease.目前这种病无药可医。

在这样用时，通常不宜把它放在句首或句尾;遇此情况可改用at

present。如:

They're on holiday at present.目前他们在度假。

At present we are living in Richmond.现在我们住在里其曼区。

二、副词badly的用法小说明

1.基本义为“不好”“坏”“差”“糟糕”等;另外，它还可表示“迫

切地”“非常”，但此主要与want. in need of等表示“相

要”或“需要”的动词或短语连用。如:

He badly wants to study at the university. 他非常想上大学念书。

The door badly needs a coat of paint. 这门急需刷一层油漆。

This company is badly in need of new blood.这个公司吸需新人。

是副词，bad是形容词，从理论上说，在连系动词feel，look等后应用bad，但在日常口语当中也可以用badly。如:

He felt badly about being late. 他因迟到感到难过。

Don't feel bad [badly]. I was only joking with you.不要难过，我是跟你开玩笑的。

3.在通常情况下，badly的比较级和最高级是worse和worst。如:

但当表示“更迫切”和“最迫切”时(通常连用表示“需要”的动词)，其比较级和最高级则多用more badly和most badly。如:

I really need that job more badly than you.我的确比你更迫切需要那份工作。

This is the area that most badly needs our support. 这是最迫切需要我们支持的地区。

三、Yet用作副词的两条用法说明

1.用作副词，表示“已经”、“至今”、“仍然”等，通常用于否定句、疑问句(包括一些表示怀疑的动词)，且通常位于句末。

Is your mother back vet?你母亲回来了吗?

I don't want to go away vet. 我还不想离开。

I doubt if he has read it yet. 我怀疑他是否读过它。

注:在否定句中，有时也位于句中(紧跟在否定词之后)，这种用法比句末位置的用法更正式。如:

我们还不知道答案。

正: We don't know the answer yet.(口语或非正式)

正: We do not yet know the answer.(正式)

误:We don't know vet the answer

但有时可紧跟在动词后的从句前。如:

I don't know vet whether he'll come or not.我还不知道州来不来。

比较以下两句的时态，与英国英语和美国英语有关:

我还没收到他的来信。

:I haven't received a letter from him yet.(英)

:I didn't receive a letter from him yet.(美)

2.有时与情态动词连用，表示“迟早”、“早晚”。如:

We may win yet. 我们迟早会获胜的。

The plan may even yet succeed.该计划将来说不定会成功。

She may surprise us all yet. 她总有一天会让我们大家感到惊奇。

We can vet reach our destination.我们终究能达到目的。

Public opinion may yet kill the proposal.舆论迟早会扼杀这个提议。

This discovery may yet be the making of him. 这次的发现迟早会成为他成功的契机。

Like the best stories, this one may yet have a happy end.就像最精彩的故事那样，这个故事终究会有个美好的结局。

四、also用于否定句的用法说明

1、基本用法说明

also可用作no，nothing或其他带有否定意义的词之前;如果放在否定词之后，则不能用also。例如:

Also no other guest could make the egg stand on end. 同样，其他客人也没有一个能把鸡蛋直立起来。

There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter.也没有牛奶、苹果酒、二豆和黄油。

Any organization or industry has its core values the

library also no exception.任何一个组织或行业都有它的核心价值,图书馆也不例外。

The songs however, while not being bad, are also nothing

special and her album is best described as mediocre.然而,这些歌虽然唱得不差,但同样

还是毫无特色可言,平庸是对这张专辑最恰如其分的形容。

2、特殊用法说明

注意这个否定结构:not also 通常用于修饰疑问句或反意疑问句，间或用于陈述句。如:

Do you not also see it in my face --the love that makes me

happy?你不也,在我的脸上看到了使我感到幸福的爱吗?

六、副词well的强调用法归纳

比，语气更委婉)。如:

achieve their purpose.为达成自己的目的，他们说不定已经做好了伤害你的准备。

4、修饰介词短语

能用well加强语气的介词主要是那些有动态意味或有强弱比较意味的介词。如:

5、修饰worth

worth在词性方面是一个比较特殊的词:有的词典认为它是介词，有的词典认为它是形容词。但不管将它视为介词还是形容词，若要加强

语气，英语习惯上用well 修饰，而不用very。如:

worth the wait.送到的连衣裙实在是太漂亮了，等待完全值得。

the freedom it gives you.租车4天花费50美元，相对给你带来的方便来说，这是非常值得的。

顺便说一句，worth后接动词时不用不定式，而用动名词(并且用主动形式表示被动意义)。如:

This book is well worth reading. 这本书很值得一读。

It was well worth waiting for. 这件事倒是很值得等待。
