lately ： recently — 509
这两个副词可以当作同义词来看待，都作“不久”和“近来”讲，不同在于：前者多半用于否定和疑问两种结构（参见词目 507 ）；肯定结构，就得改用后者；而且，改用 a short timeago 、 a few days ago 等一类状语也可以（参见词目 715 ）。
例如：
Have you seen him lately? 你近来见到他吗？
I haven't seen him lately. 我近来没有见到他。
比较：
I haven't seen him lately. 我近来没有见到他。（否定句要用 lately ）
I have seen him recently. 我近来曾见到过他。（肯定句要用 recently ）
I saw him a short time ago. 我刚才已见到他了。（一般过去时态，不能用 recently ）
I saw him a few days ago. 我几天前已见到过他了。（同上）
