never ☞neveradv. [′nevǝ]
双解释义 从不,永不,从来没有 not ever, not at any time基本要点 1. never作“永不,绝不”解,表示全部否定,一般指经常性的状态,不用于修饰一次性的具体动作。2. never一般位于系动词及助动词之后,实义动词之前;如修饰动词不定式或分词,则要放在不定式或分词前。3. never可用于句首以加强语气,其后的句子要主谓倒装。never所处的位置不同时,句意也会有所不同。句型例句 I can never understand why Mary said nothing about her wrongs. 我毫不理解玛丽说她什么也没有做错。 Neighbors are said never to agree. 据说,邻居们永远不会同意。 He never intended to use this method. 他从来没想使用这种方法。 Never having seen him before, I did not know what he looked like. 我从来没见过他,不知道他长得怎样。 I hope never to see him again. 我希望再不要见到他。 Never have I seen such a strange person. 我从来没见过这样的怪人。 There is never a friend but he remembers the birthday of. 他记得每个朋友的生日。 I have never been abroad, neither〔nor〕 have I ever wished to go. 我从未去过国外,我也从未想去。 He never behaves honestly, nor wisely. 他的行为既不诚实,也不聪明。 You can tell him now, remember better late than never. 你现在可以告诉他,要记得“晚做总比不做好”。 Never mind the expense! 不用担心费用! Let me carry it for you.—Never mind. 我替你拿吧。——不用啦。常用短语 ♣ never so much as 甚至不,甚至没有 do not even He never so much as said "Thanks". 他甚至连谢都不谢一声。词语辨异 ♣ Never mind, You are welcome 参见welcome条。 补充资料 [同义词] at no time, not at all, on no account [反义词] always, forever [词源]古英语næfre(绝不,从不) |
