still的用法:
still强调过去发生的事情及存在的状况目前还在延续。在现在完成时的否定句中,still表示吃惊或不耐烦的语气;但在现在进行时中,still
只表示动作正在持续,不带有感情色彩。例如:
My neighbour hit my car last week and he still hasn't apologised.
我的邻居上周撞了我的车,可他到现在还没有道歉呢。
He's still living with his mother.
他仍与母亲住在一起。
still还可以用来修饰比较级,相当于even,可译为“更”、“还要”、“甚”。例句:
(1) We must study still harder. 我们必须更加努力地学习。
(2) It was cold yesterday, but today it is still colder. 昨天天气很冷,可今天却更冷。
(3) Her sister is still taller. 她妹妹个子还要高。
(4) They came still earlier. 他们来得更早。
