BBC英语:一分钟搞懂Still, Already 和 Yet的用法
Hi! I'm Phil from BBC Learning English. Today, I'm going to tell you the difference between still, already and yet.
大家好!我是BBC英语学习频道的菲尔。今天我们来学习still, already 和 yet三个词的区别。
They all talk about things around the present, but they don't mean the same.
这三个词都可以表示一般现在时,但意思却不尽相同。
We use still to talk about something that hasn't finished. Are you still studying? Let's go out!
still用于表示尚未完成的某事。你还在学习?我们出去玩玩吧!
We use already to talk about something that has finished, and maybe we didn't think it would have by now. She's already finished work. She's gone home.
already则用来表示已经做完的或我们认为目前不会发生的事。她已经把工作做完并且回家了。
We use yet in questions and negatives to talk about things that haven't happened, but we think they will. Haven't you left yet? You'll be late!
yet用于疑问句或否定句中,表示尚未发生但我们认为会发生的事。你怎么还没走?你要迟到了!
So just remember: Things that are still happening, haven't finished. Things that have already happened, have finished and things that are yet to happen, haven't started.
所以,请记住:已发生但尚未完成用still;已发生且已完成用already;即将发生但尚未发生用yet。
Are you still watching? Have you learnt this yet? You remember it already? Fantastic!
还在看吗?学过了吗?记住了吗?太棒了!
连词“yet”的相关用法
1. yet用作连词时,与but一样也主要用于转折,意为“但是”“而”:
I have failed, yet I shall try again. 我失败了,但我还要尝试。
The judge was stern, yet completely fair. 法官很严峻,却完全公正。
They are the same, yet not the same. 它们又一样,又不一样。
It is strange, yet it is true. 那真是怪事,然而却是事实。
I've been away only for three years, yet I can hardly recognize my hometown.我仅在外三年,可我几乎认不出我自己的故乡了。
He said he was our friend, yet he wouldn’t help us. 他说他是我们的朋友,但却不肯帮助我们。
2. 有时用在句首。如:
Yet the house was cheerful. 但屋子里显得很欢快。
Yet its population has doubled. 但它的人口翻了一番。
3. yet有时可与并列连词and或but连用,构成习语and yet和but yet,意为“虽然如此”“可是”“然而”,与单独使用的yet意思相同。如:
He's not really nice-looking, and yet he has enormous charm. 他并不十分好看,可是他很有魅力。
She's a funny girl, but yet you can’t help liking her. 她是一个奇怪的姑娘,但你禁不住会喜欢她。
I gave him ten pounds (and) yet he was not satisfied. 我给了他十镑但他仍不满足。
She's vain and foolish, and yet people like her. 她很虚荣愚蠢,但人们却喜欢她。
She drove very fast to the airport, but [yet, and yet, but yet] she missed the plane.她开快车去机场,可还是误了飞机。
4. 根据英语习惯,although不能与连词but搭配使用,但是although可以与yet搭配连用(此时的yet可视为副词)。如:
Although we are poor, yet we are happy. 尽管我们穷,但我们很快活。
Although we have made some progress, yet we still have a long way to go.我们虽然取得了些进步,但还是远远不够的。
"Have yet to" 到底是有还是没有!
We have yet to receive any responses from the ...
So if someone asks you, "What does it mean? Have they got it no not?"
Answer: No, they haven't!"
This is formal English. It is used in formal situations and is much less common in casual spoken English.
The phrase ''have yet to'' can be confusing! The present perfect tense in English can be difficult at the best of times, and this phrase is another challenge for English learners.
英文的yet 用法有很多,大部分情况中文意思均为【迄今为止,直到】,以下整理归纳了一些yet的英文用法,例句和中文意思。
1. yet 尚、迄今、直到现在
