The word “really”can also have another different meaning which is “真的”。The context of the sentence in any given situation should tell you which meaning “really”has . Example: Mike:“I don’t believe that you passed the computer test。” Derek:“I really passed it!I swear!I’ll show you the report.” Example 7: “Later”and “before”(。。。后/。。。前) 学生们经常误用“later”和“before”,让我们先看“later”。 My students often use the words “later”and “before”incorrectly。Let’s start by looking at“later”: 我很饿,我们五分钟后吃饭吧。 Incorrect English: “I’m really hungry.Let’ s eat lunch five minutes later。” Correct English: “I’m really hungry.Let’s eat lunch in five minutes。” 解释: 表达“从现在开始的某段时间以后”时,我们必须用“In +某段时间”,而不能把“以后”译成“later”。在英语里,我们不能用“某段时间+later”。要表达“从现在开始的五分钟以后”。应该说“in five minutes”。在下面的例子里,这种说法适于表达任何长度的时间。 Explanation: |
