备考雅思,需要积累大量的词汇作为基础,今天前程百利雅思小编为大家整理的是雅思词汇之英语常用词already和although惯用法,希望大家能够认真看看。
◆already adv.
1. 表示“已经”,通常用于肯定句,不用于否定句或疑问句(此时要用 yet)。如:
He has already read the book. 他已经读过这本书。
Has he read the book? 他已经读过这本书吗?
He hasn’t yet read the book. /He hasn’t read the book yet.
他还没有读这本书。
2. 有时也用于疑问句,但往往含有问话人希望得到一个肯定回答或含有惊讶之意。如:
Is he back already? 他就已经回来了?
Has she gone to bed already? 她就上床睡了?
3. 一般说来,already 不用于否定句,但它有时可用于否定的条件状语从句中。如:
If he hasn’t seen the film already, he may get the ticket.
假若他还未看过这电影,他可以弄到票的。
4. 与 already 连用的时态:
(1) 与行为动词的完成体连用。如:
He has left already. 他已离去了。
By this time tomorrow I’ll have finished the job already.
到明天这个时候,我将已做完这工作。
(2) 与行为动词的进行体连用。如:
They are already working. 他们已经在工作了。
When I came in, he was already laying the table. 我进来时,他已在摆桌子了。
(3) 与持续性动词或状态动词的一般现在时或一般过去时连用。如:
It’s already late. 已经迟了。
He already knew about it. 那时他已知道此事了。
◆although conj.
不要按汉语“虽然……但是……”的表达习惯,在 although 后连用 but。如:
虽然天很冷,但我们还是去了那儿。
正:Although it was cold, we went there.
误:Although it was cold, but we went there.
但是在强调时,although 可与 yet, still 等副词连用。如:
Though he seems happy, yet he is worried. 虽然他看起来很幸福,但他实际上很烦恼。
值得一提的是,在某些特定的语境中,although 与 but 连用的句子是可能的(注:but 引出的句子在 although 从句之前)。如:
But I didn’t know that then, although I learned it later. 但我当时的确不知道此事,尽管后来还是知道了。
He wanted to go abroad, but although he had some money he
couldn’t afford it. 他想出国,尽管他有些钱,但还是负担不起。
