some time 英语
some time 的各种用法
Sometime是个时间副词,意思是“在某时期”。这个字通常 和“日期”或“时间”连用,出现在句子后半部, 用来固定本来不肯定的时间或日期。例如:
① The accident happened sometime last month
② Let us discuss the matter sometime next week.
Sometimes是个频率副词,意思和 “occasionally”,或“from time to time”甚接近,就是“有时候”或“偶尔”之意。 “Sometimes”和“sometime”不但意思不同, 所处的位置也不一样。
“Sometimes”可以在下列三处出现:
⒈句首,如:Sometimes, I didn't feel like working.
⒉接系动词“be”之后,如:The new manager was sometimes very hot-tempered.
⒊动词前,如:They sometimes stayed up until 2 o'clock.
从这三个例子看,“sometime”和“sometimes”不但意思不同 , 所处的位置也大相径庭。
就用途来说, “sometime”的用途广些。除了表示“在某时期 ”这意思之外,它也含有“任何时候”的意义,如:* Come over and see me sometime. 这里的“sometime”,可以用“anytime”代替,即: Come over and see me anytime.
此外,“sometime”可以当形容词用,意思是“以前的”,如:
* Dr Chen, a sometime lecturer of chemistry, is now a big company director.
这里的“sometime”不妨以另外一个形容词“former”或前缀“ ex-”来取代:
*Dr Chen, a former lecturer of chemistry, is now a big company director.
* Dr Chen, an ex-lecturer of chemistry, is now a big company director.
**另外,“sometime”和“some time"的意思不同。“Sometime”是“在某时期”;“some time” 是“一段时间”,如:
*All of us have studied English for some time.
* Betty has been grumbling for some time.
* Please give me some time to think over your proposal.
由于 sometimes, sometime和 some time 各有不同的意思,在同句里出现可以和平共处、相安无事:
* Sometimes, I spent some time reading a sometime English lecturer's novel written sometime in 1996.
我想你是要问这三个词组的问题:
some time 一些时间
sometimes 有时
sometime 某时
some time表示“一些时间”
sometime
可以作副词,常放在动词及宾语之后.含义是“在某一时候”、“日后”、有朝一日“,着重表示的是一个时间点.过去、现在、将来时均可使用.Sometime还可以用作形容词来修饰名词,其含义是:“以前的”.
如:
1.I saw your brother sometime last spring.去年春天不知哪一天我曾见过你兄弟.
2.You can become a famous doctor sometime if you work hard.只要你努力,总有一天会成为医的.
3.Now students will come to our school sometime next week.新生将于下周某日来校.
Some time与sometime的区别和用法:
它不过是由形容词some和名词time构成的一个短语,有其固定的含义.它的含义人们通常认为只表示一个时间段即“若干时间”.它除了含有此意外,还具有和sometime相同意思的含义,即“某时、某日.”sometime一般表示时间点,而some time 即可以表示时间段(若干时间),也可以表示时间点(某时).换句话说,若表示时间段,只能用some time; 若表示是间点是,sometime和some time可以互换使用,哪个都行.
如:
1.She stayed here for some time.她在此呆过一段时间.
2.He went some time last week.他上膨某日走的.
是some time 还是sometimes?
