用法辨析
- soon用作副詞,意思是“不久”,可指“將來”,表示“預(yù)期的時刻不久就會到來”,用以談?wù)摬痪脤淼氖禄蛟谶^去某時間以后不久所發(fā)生的事,強調(diào)兩個時間的接續(xù)關(guān)系。soon引申還可作“早”“快”解,強調(diào)行為的快捷,毫不遲延。
- soon還可作“寧可”“寧愿”解,通常與would等連用,構(gòu)成would (just), as soon...(as), would sooner...than的句型。
- soon可放置于句末,有時也可放在句首,也常置于動詞短語的第一個助動詞后面,如果沒有助動詞,就置于實義動詞前。但如果動詞是be,則位于be的后面。如加quite, very或too修飾, soon則須置于句末。
- no sooner...than...意思是“一…就”,特別用于書面語中,表示一件事情緊接著另一件事情發(fā)生, no sooner通常位于第一個從句的主要動詞前面,第二個從句than開始。在故事中,有時用倒裝語序,將no sooner放于句首,后面緊跟主語。
- soon前可有very, pretty, quite, rather等修飾。
