三、用法
● 一般放在實(shí)義動(dòng)詞之前,系動(dòng)詞、第一助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞之后,例如:
We usually go to the movies on Sundays.Bethany always runs late for work in the morning.We seldom see her anymore.系動(dòng)詞、第一助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞之后:This class is always a bore!She was never very friendly.I have rarely seen the sun rise.She will occasionally go for walks alone.
她偶爾會(huì)獨(dú)自去散步。
You can seldom see very far because of the fog.
因?yàn)橛徐F,你看不到很遠(yuǎn)的地方。
如果有兩個(gè)助動(dòng)詞,頻度副詞通常放在第一個(gè)助動(dòng)詞后面。如:I will never be an actor!We have never been invited to one of their parties. 他們聚會(huì),一次也沒邀請(qǐng)過我們。She must sometimes have wanted to run away. 為了表示強(qiáng)調(diào),頻度副詞有時(shí)也可位于動(dòng)詞 be 態(tài)動(dòng)詞之前,例如:
I never was fond of his writing.
我從不喜歡他的寫作。
解析:雖然頻度副詞 never 放在 be 動(dòng)詞之前,但實(shí)際上它修飾的還是形容詞 fond.You occasionally are a nit-picker.解析:此句中頻度副詞 occasionally 修飾的是 be 動(dòng)詞。在簡(jiǎn)略答語中,當(dāng)頻度副詞與動(dòng)詞 be、助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞位于句末時(shí),頻度副詞必須前置,例如:-----------------------------
-----------------------------
— Can you park your car near the shops?● 有些頻度副詞如:usually, sometimes, normally, occasionally, often 和 frequently 還可以放在句首或句尾,而且出現(xiàn)在句首時(shí),通常但并不總是以逗號(hào)隔開,例如:He travels to Europe frequently.We’ve been there quite often.
我們經(jīng)常去那里。
He comes up to visit sometimes.Usually, the work is boring.Occasionally I have to go and ask the boss for a rise. ● 除非是為了強(qiáng)調(diào),否則有些頻度副詞如:always, seldom, rarely, hardly ever 和 never 不出現(xiàn)在句首, 但它們也可以出現(xiàn)在一個(gè)句子或是從句的后面,例如:
當(dāng)頻度副詞放在句首表示強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí),句子的結(jié)構(gòu)就發(fā)生變化了,變成部分倒裝,例如:Never have I felt so insulted!Rarely does she leave the house unattended.
她很少會(huì)讓房子無人看管。
Seldom has there been such a happy meeting. ● 頻度副詞經(jīng)常用于一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),用來談?wù)摿?xí)慣、一般情況和時(shí)間表,但它們也可以用于其他時(shí)態(tài),例如:
一般過去時(shí):
She often traveled when she lived in Spain.
她住在西班牙時(shí)經(jīng)常旅行。
現(xiàn)在完成時(shí):
I have never witnessed such a wonder child as he.
我從來沒有見過像他那樣的神童。
2、修飾形容詞,此時(shí)放在系動(dòng)詞之后,例如:I am always late for work.The trains are occasionally late, but they are generally on time.火車偶爾晚點(diǎn),但基本上是準(zhǔn)時(shí)的。She is often alone, but I don’t think she minds.她經(jīng)常一個(gè)人,但我想她不介意。
