HQ07mf240916:1.slient quite still三詞的具體區(qū)別是什么?請您舉例講解。
2.ever和since的區(qū)別?
3.before作為“才”的意思有哪些例子?

老師回復(fù):silent主要指人“沉默的”、“不出聲的”,但不一定無活動。
quiet意為“安靜的”、“寧靜的”,指人時表示生性安靜,不易激動;用于自然環(huán)境時,指沒有干擾活動、沒有喧鬧聲的寂靜狀態(tài)。
still意為“安靜的”、“不動的”,不指心理狀態(tài),而是指環(huán)境和人“靜的,靜止的”狀態(tài)。
另外還有calm意為“鎮(zhèn)靜的,平靜的”,主要指人“沉著鎮(zhèn)定”,指自然“無風(fēng)無浪”。noiseless意為“聲音很輕的”、“無聲的”,常用來形容機(jī)器。
試著做下面的練習(xí)

2 ever 和since 沒有什么區(qū)別, ever since,和 since卻有些區(qū)別
一:1ever since you left me自從你離開了我
i've been try to hide the pain.我一直在掩飾內(nèi)心的傷痛
用法,一般就是可用在句首,自從的意思.
2主句用現(xiàn)在完成時,從句用一般過去時
eg. Ever since he moved to London, i haven`t seen him.
ever since用在句尾時,所表達(dá)的時間應(yīng)在上文中交待出來或是聽話者知道的那個時間:"就從那時起,一直到現(xiàn)在"
二:since的用法主要有兩點:一是表示“自從……以來”,二是表示“既然”之意。但如果只了解詞的含義,而不了解其用法,在使用時就會造成錯誤。例如:I have not heard from him since I lived in Shanghai.
不少人會望文生義,將該句譯為:“自從我住在上海以來,就再也沒有收到他的信了�!倍鴮嶋H上這個句子的譯文并非如此,那么正確的含義是什么呢?
下面談?wù)剆ince作連詞引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句的用法。
一、若since引導(dǎo)的狀語從句的謂語動詞是終止性的過去時,則從句表示的時間是“從動作開始的那一時刻起”。如:
He has studied very hard since he came to our school.自從他來到我們學(xué)校,他學(xué)習(xí)就非常努力。
We have been missing them since they left here自從他們離開這里,我們就一直很想念他們。
這是最常見的一種用法,此處不再多述。
二、若since引導(dǎo)的狀語從句的謂語動詞是持續(xù)性動詞或表示狀態(tài)的動詞的過去時時,則從句表示的時間是“從那持續(xù)動作或狀態(tài)結(jié)束時算起”。如:
I haven’t heard any noise since I slept. Sleep 為持續(xù)性動詞,sleep的動作結(jié)束時,即“醒來”時,這句應(yīng)譯為“我醒后還未聽到任何聲音”。
John is now with his parents in New York, it is already three years since he was a teacher約翰現(xiàn)在和父母一起住在紐約,他不當(dāng)老師已經(jīng)三年了。
本文開始出現(xiàn)的那個句子就可以譯為“自從我離開上海,就再也沒有收到他的信�!边@種譯法常被人們誤用,我們不妨再多舉幾個例子看看:
How long is it since you lived in Shanghai?你離開(沒住在)上海多久了?
It is half a month since he was a League member.他退團(tuán)(不當(dāng)團(tuán)員)半個月了。
It’s been quite some time since I was last in London我離開倫敦已很長時間了。
比較:He has written to me frequently since I was ill.自從我病愈以來,他屢次給我寫信。(從句謂語為狀態(tài)動詞)
He has written to me frequently since I fell ill.自從我生病以來,他就屢次給我寫信。(從句謂語為終止性動詞)
三、若since引導(dǎo)的狀語從句的謂語為持續(xù)性動詞的現(xiàn)在完成時,則表示動作和狀態(tài)延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在(說話時刻),其表示的時間的起點應(yīng)從動作發(fā)生之時算起。如:
I haven’t heard from him since he has lived there。
這里has lived表示動作的持續(xù)性,時間的起點應(yīng)從:“開始居住”時算起。因此此句可理解為“自從他(開始)住在那兒起,我就一直沒收到他的來信”。
Since we have owned a car, we have gone camping every year。自從我們自己有了汽車,我們每年都去野營。
試比較:1. Since I’ve been at this school, we have had three headmasters.自從我到這所學(xué)校,我們已換了三個校長了。
Since I was at this school, they have had three headmasters.自從我離開這所學(xué)校,他們已換了三個校長了。
2.He has never been to see me since I have been ill. 自從我生病以來,他從未來看過我。
He has never been to see me since I was ill. 自從我病愈以來,他從未來看過我。
由此可見,since引導(dǎo)的從句持續(xù)動詞的一般過去時和現(xiàn)在完成時所表示的意思恰好相反。換言之,前者以肯定的語法形式反映著否定的邏輯內(nèi)容,而后者的形式與內(nèi)容是一致的。
至于It is +一段時間+since…的句型與It has been +一段時間+since…意思相同。前者是規(guī)范說法,后者是口語說法。
應(yīng)注意的是,在這種結(jié)構(gòu)中,since引導(dǎo)的從句絕對不能用否定式的謂語動詞來表示否定意義,下面兩句都錯了:
It is a long time since he didn’t study English.
It’s two months since you didn’t come to see me.
正確的說法為:
It’s a long time since he studied English 他好久沒學(xué)英語了。
You haven’t come to see me for two months. 你有兩個月沒來看我了
