用法讲解
- after可用作连词连接一个时间状语从句,从句中一般用现在时表示将来。
- after用作副词时常与soon, ever搭配,通常用于表示时间的名词后。
- after用作副词时不用于比较等级。
-
注意after和in的使用:从某时说到多少时间以后,不用after,而用in。如果指“某个时刻,日期或事件以后”,用after。
He will/would arrive in four weeks.
He will(或would)arrive after four o'clock /5 July/the ceremony.
- 表达“某事件的若干时间以后”时,应是“若干时间after事件”,而不是“after若干时间of事件”。可说two hours after his arrival,不可说after two hours of his arrival。在“two hours after his arrival”前加不同的介词,有不同的意思:“two hours after his arrival”单用时指“他到达两小时以后”。若前面加the,如the two hours after his arrival指“他到达以后的两小时”,加for指“在他到达以后的两小时全段时间里”,加in 跟没有in意思相同,加within指“在他到达以后的两小时中的某时刻”;
- 指“若干时间after日期或月份”时,常把当天的日期或当月除外。如five days after 3 July,指从7月4日算起的5天以后,也就是7月9日。但有例外,five days after I July可能指7月8日,months after July可能指11月,注意避免这种结构产生误解;
-
指“从过去的某时或某事说到现在”时,不用after,用since,所以可说Since his graduation he has been abroad.(since不可改成after)一定要改的话,可表示为After his graduation he went abroad. 这里的after是介词,用作连接词时用法一样。
He went abroad after he graduated.
不可说 He has been abroad after he graduated. - half after four,five minutes after eight等是美国英语,相当于英国英语half past four,five minutes past eight等,英国方言中也有half after four等表达方式;
-
after引导的状语从句,用现在时态,不用将来时态。
I shall start after he comes.
-
after常指时间先后的次序,而behind常指位置,如August comes after July,用after,,而A garden lies behind the house,用behind。不过有时after和behind可以通用。
Please shut the door after/behind you.
He came in after/behind her. -
be after指“追求,要求”,
He is after you.
他正在追求你。He is always after me to teach him the violin.
他老是要我教他小提琴。 -
after all有时指“虽然这样”,
In coming home we got caught in the rain and became wet through and through, after all I don't mind as we had a fine time.
-
不可说be after doing …,这里不是指想要做什么,或是将要做什么,而是已经做了什么。但是可以用after doing…的结构。
After completing this form, give it to the secretary.
-
after作为副词时,通常不单用,而是以其他形式出现,如afterwards,then或after that。
I'm going to do my exams, and afterwards I'm going to study medicine.
- after, at, by, for, from, over, with, through
-
- 这两个词都可表示“按照”“根据”“依照”“依从”。其区别在于:
- 1.at多接抽象名词; 而by多接具体名词。
- 2.这两个词都有“按…计算”的意思,不过by用于英式英语; at用于美式英语。
- after, behind
-
- 这两个介词都可表示“在…之后”。其区别是:
- after往往表示时间的先后; behind多表示位置或方向的先后,与动态动词连用时表示运动方向。
- after, beyond
-
- 这两个词都可表示时间上“晚于”“在…之后”。作“晚于”解时两者常可互换使用。其区别在于:
- 1.after表示发生在某事或某时〔点,段〕之后,可以是紧接,也可以是不紧接; 而beyond有发生于原定的或惯常的时间之后的意味。
- 2.在美国, after可表示“已过几点”或“几点以后”; 而beyond没有这种用法。
- after, despite, for, notwithstanding, with
-
- 这几个词均可表示“让步”。after表示“让步”时在大多数情况下要和all连用,意思是“经过一切…之后,仍然…”; despite和in spite of具有相同的意思,但despite是正式用语,且语气较强; for表示“让步”时,其意思和用法与with基本相同,表示有保留的或未起作用的理由、原因,有“虽然…还是…”“尽管…仍然…”的意思,它们一般用于口语中,而且都必须和all连用,出现在句首; notwithstanding是正式用语,表示“让步”的语气较弱,其宾语往往是表示难度较小的障碍的名词,它引导的短语可以置于句首,亦可置于句中或句末,有时还可置于它引导的短语之后。
- after, in, since
-
- 这三个介词都可指示时间关系,表示“在…之后”。其区别是:
- after可表示从过去时间算起的一段时间之后,往往与过去时态连用(若接表示时间点的词,也可与将来时态连用); in则表示从现在时间算起推移到将来的一段时间之后,一般与将来时态连用; since所表示的时间往往是从过去某一点时间一直延续到说话的时间,因而一般与完成时态连用。
- after, past, to
-
- 这三个词均可表示钟点。表示在30分钟之内时可以用after或past,但前者一般用于美式英语,而后者在美式英语和英式英语中通用; 在表示超过30分钟时要用to,其后接下一个钟点。
- after time, after a time
-
- after time的意思是“迟到”“超过规定时间”,而after a time的意思则是“过了一段时间”。
- after,behind,at the back of
-
- 这些词均有“在……后面”之意。
- after强调的是顺序的先后。
- behind在表示地点时侧重方向和位置的前后关系,在表示时间时侧重“落后……”或“迟于……”的概念。
- at the back of这个前置词短语既可指具体的位置的先后,又可用于指抽象的概念。
