用作副词 (adv.)

adv. (副词)

shortly, early, quick, soon: 这组词的共同意思是“不久”“即刻”“快”。其区别在于:early常指时间比原来或通常早些; quick含有匆忙、仓促之意; soon指在某一特定时间过现在之后不久,多用于将来时或过去时,通常放在句末或主要动词之前; shortly与soon同义,但比soon更郑重,常用于新闻报道等。例如:

You have to think quick with the mind and act quick with the body.你必须脑子转得快,行动也得快。

I came early, and had to wait for others, but soon after five o'clock they appeared.我来得早,得等其他人,可是刚过5点他们就都来了。

Shortly after that, the police arrived.那事情发生不久警察就到了。

shortly, short: 两者都是副词,但不同义:short的意思是“突然”“蓦然”; 而shortly则作“不久”“在短时期内”解,且多用于将来时态。例如:

The boss was driven to his wit's end short.

这个老板一下子被弄得一筹莫展。

I shall go on errands to Beijing shortly.

我不久就要出差去北京。

immediately，instantly，presently，directly，shortly，soon，at once，right away: 这些副词或副词词组均有“立刻、马上”之意。

immediately指做完一件事后，立即就做另一件事，中间一般没有明显的时间间隔。

instantly指恰恰就在此刻，一秒钟也没耽误。

presently指不久、即将。

directly和immediately同义，指毫无迟疑。

shortly和soon同义，指动作发生或完成的速度之快。

soon常用词，指行动快，完成速度快。

at once口语中常用，语气强烈，指时间紧迫，一刻也不能耽误。

right away主要用于美国英语，语气稍弱于at once，强调动作迅速。
