词源解说
- 直接源自古英語的sona，意爲馬上。
用法辨析
- soon用作副詞,意思是“不久”,可指“將來”,表示“預期的時刻不久就會到來”,用以談論不久將來的事或在過去某時間以後不久所發生的事,強調兩個時間的接續關系。soon引申還可作“早”“快”解,強調行爲的快捷,毫不遲延。
- soon還可作“甯可”“甯願”解,通常與would等連用,搆成would (just), as soon...(as), would sooner...than的句型。
- soon可放置於句末,有時也可放在句首,也常置於動詞短語的第一個助動詞後麪,如果沒有助動詞,就置於實義動詞前。但如果動詞是be,則位於be的後麪。如加quite, very或too脩飾, soon則須置於句末。
- no sooner...than...意思是“一…就”,特別用於書麪語中,表示一件事情緊接著另一件事情發生, no sooner通常位於第一個從句的主要動詞前麪,第二個從句than開始。在故事中,有時用倒裝語序,將no sooner放於句首,後麪緊跟主語。
- soon前可有very, pretty, quite, rather等脩飾。
