词组 often
释义

■ often

1) often 的“常常”,是断断续续的,不是一直延续不断的,而且还是在先后不同场合的。所以,

a) 同一个场合屡次发生的事件不能用 often。

  • *I often fell yesterday when I was skiing.

要改为:

  • I fell many times yesterday when I was skiing.我昨天溜冰时常常摔倒。

b) 按其本性不会断断续续的延续状态不能用 often。

  • *I often knew what he was like. *我常常知道他是个怎么样的人。

要改为:

  • I knew always what he was like.

2) often 放在句首或句中间时可以单独使用。

  • Often he walked.他常步行。
  • He often visits me.他常来访问我。

但是放在句末时很少单独使用,通常前面要加上 very 或 quite(参照中文不常说“这件衣服贵”而说“这件衣服很贵”)。

  • He walked quite often.
  • I haven't been there very often.我不常到那边去。
