时间副词在句中的位置

一、表确定时间或非确定时间的副词

表确定时间的副词(如today, yesterday等)通常位于句末,有时也位于句首。如:

He went home yesterday. / Yesterday he went home. 他昨天回家了。

We have a very busy day ahead of us today. / Today we have a very busy day ahead of us. 今天迎接我们的将是非常忙碌的一天。

而那些表示非确定时间的副词(如 soon, recently, suddenly等)除可用于句末或句首外,还可位于句中(通常位于实意动词之前,动词be、助动词、情态动词之后):

He went to Paris recently. / He recently went to Paris. / Recently he went to Paris. 最近他去了巴黎。

 

二、still, already, just 等副词

still, already, just 等几个表示时间的副词通常位于句中(实意动词之前,动词be、助动词、情态动词之后)。如:

He’s just left for school. 他刚刚去学校。

I have already finished my work. 我已经做完了工作。

当要表示强调时,still和already也可位于动词be、助动词等之前。如:

She was still [still was] beautiful at the age of forty. 她到了40岁仍然很美。

I already have told him about it. 我已经把情况告诉他了。

still若用于否定句,则总是位于助动词之前:

I still don’t understand what you mean. 我还是不明白你的意思。

另外,still 和already 还可位于句末,表示惊奇:

Are you on page one still? 你还在看第1页?

Is your mother back already? 你妈妈就已经回来了?
