词组 already/yet
释义
already/yet1     

【问】 1. I’ve____answered that question.
 A. already B. still
 C. yet D. no longer (Nelson,300A)
 2. Have you been to the museum?____.
 A. Not yet B. Not already
 C. Not ever D. Not still(Nelson,150D)

 (TOEFL,83.1)
 我对于already与yet的用法区别总是昏昏然,因此对于做上面的考题没有把握。
 【答】 already大都用在肯定句中。如果用在疑问句和否定句中则具有特殊的修辞意义(见already/yet2)。其次,already在多数情况下占据不确定频率副词(见often,always,sometimes等)的位置,但是有时也可搁在句尾。
 1. When I called,Tom was already dressed. (ALD)
 我去他家的时候,汤姆已穿戴完毕。
 2. I’ve already seen the report. (LED)
 我已经看到报告了。
 3. I’ve done enough harm to her already. (Macaulay)
 我给她的伤害已够她受的了。
 yet主要用于否定句与疑问句(用于肯定句中则另有含义),通常位于句尾,在否定句中还可位于主要动词之前。在否定句中,其词义为:“迄今尚”(常见的简略答语not yet——还没有);在疑问句中其词义为:“已经”。例如:
 1. I haven't enough data yet. (Cronin)
 我(迄今)还没有足够的资料。
 2. Have you had your lunch yet?
 你(已经)吃午饭了吗?
 3. “Has he come yet?” “No,not yet.”
 “他来了吗?”“还没有。”
