本单元的语言点是时间表达,请看下面的解释和例句
Time expressions
Background 背景 There are a great variety of expressions that are used to refer to time: a selection is presented here. Most of them function as adverbials or prepositional phrases.
Referring to the past 描述过去时间
a short time ago: this means something was recent. Example: I've already heard the news. She told me a short time ago.
the other day: this means that something was recent, without saying exactly which day. Example: I went shopping the other day.
ages and ages ago: this means something was not recent; it happened a long time ago. Example: I've known about it for a very long time. She told me ages and ages ago.
many moons ago : this means something was not recent; it happened a long time ago. Example: Many moons ago, he told me the story of his life.
Referring to the present 描述现在
for the time being: at the moment, until something changes. Example: For the time b being, I'm catching the bus to work, but I hope to get a bicycle soon.
these days: the current period of time. NOTE: we don't usually say 'in these days'. Example: These days I'm happy at work, but there were times in the past when I was unhappy.
in this day and age: the present era; the current period of time in history. Example: In this day and age it is nomp3al for women to be senior managers, but it wasn't always like that.
Very soon or immediately 马上或立刻会发生的事
as soon as possible: this is often a polite way to ask someone to do something soon. Example: Could you please return the books to me as soon as possible?
straight away: immediately. Example: Let's call him straight away.
in a minute or two / in a second or two: shortly; very soon. It is common to be a little vague when talking about time, so we use 'or two'. Example: Sorry to keep you waiting. I'll be with you in a minute or two.
Referring to the future 描述未来的事
by the end of the month: something will happen before this current month finishes. Example: The new restaurant will be open by the end of the month.
this time next year: about one year from now. Example: This time next year, we'll be millionaires!
in the not too distant future: fairly soon. Example: I'll be seeing my sister in the not too distant future.
Duration (a length of time) 描述一段时间
Not much longer / not any more / not any longer: these all mean that a period of time for something needs to end soon. Example: I can't wait any longer, I'll have to leave in a minute or two.
For the foreseeable future: a period of time from now into the future, a future that is near enough to be reasonably sure what will happen. Example: I'm going to continue working here for the foreseeable future. I have no plans to change my career and my school is happy with my work.
For as long as anyone can remember: this means that no-one can remember a time when this thing did not exist or happen. This expression is not always used literally: it simply means a period of time that started a long time ago. Example: For as long as anyone can remember, fish and chips has been the national food of Britain. [ 结 束 ]
