2. 表示“公职”、“职务”、“职责”等,通常为可数名词。如:

注:在某些短语中,可是不可数的。如:in office(执政,当权),out of office(不执政,不当权),take office(就职,上任),come
into office(上任,就职),leave office(离职)等。
◆often adv.
1. 表示“经常”,通常放在行为动词之前,特殊动词(助动词、情态动词以及动词 be)之后。如:
He was often late for class. 他上课经常迟到。
He often goes out with her. 他经常同她一起出去。
The boys have often been there. 孩子们经常去那儿。
有时为了强调,也可放在特殊动词之前,甚至句首或句末。如:
He was often ill. /He often was ill. 他经常生病。
He often writes to me. /He writes to me often. 他经常给我写信。
若受副词修饰(加强语气或强调),也通常位于句末或句首。如:
We go to the cinema quite [very] often. / Very [Quite]
often we go to the cinema. 我们经常去看电影。
2. 用于 as often as, 起连词作用,相当于whenever, 意为“每当”。如:
As often as I tried to ring him, the line was engaged. 每次我给他打电话都占线。
◆once adv. & conj.
1. 用作副词,表示“一次”,是频度状语,通常放在句末;表示“曾经”、“一度”,是表示不确定时间的副词,通常放在行为动词之前,特殊动词(助动词、情态动词、动词 be)之后,有时也可放在句首。如:
I’ll help you once but then you must do it by yourself. 我只帮你一次,但以后你就得自己做了。
This novel was once very popular but nobody reads it today. 这本小说曾经很受欢迎,但现在没有人读了。
注:表示“一次”的 once 还经常与 a, every 等连用。如:
We have a meeting once a week. 我们每周开会一次。
He goes home once every six months. 他每半年回家一次。
2. 用作连词,引导时间状语从句,注意从句要用现在时表示将来意义。如:
Once you begin, you must continue. 你一旦开始,就必须进行下去。
Once you talk to him, you’ll know he’s a good person. 你只要同他谈谈,你就会知道他是个好人。
所引导从句的主语若与主句主语一致,有时也可用其省略结构,被省略部分通常(并不总是)包括有动词 be。如:
Once (it is) printed, the book will be very popular. 一旦出版,这本书会大受欢迎。
Once having made a promise, you should keep it. 你一旦许下诺言,就该遵守。
3. 比较 at once 与 all at once: 前者表示“马上”或“同时”;后者表示“突然”。如:
Come here at once. 马上过来。
Don’t all speak at once. 不要一起说。
All at once we heard a loud noise. 突然我们听到一声巨响。
