詞源解說(shuō)
- 15世紀(jì)中期進(jìn)入英語(yǔ),直接源自古英語(yǔ)的sian,意爲(wèi)那時(shí)。
用法辨析
- since用作介詞的意思是“從…以來(lái),自從…之後”,其賓語(yǔ)常指過(guò)去的一個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn),其含意通常指持續(xù)到說(shuō)話時(shí)刻的動(dòng)作或情況開(kāi)始於什麼時(shí)候。
- since之後常接名詞、動(dòng)名詞作其賓語(yǔ), since then意爲(wèi)“從那以後”。
- since用作副詞表示“以前”時(shí)還可和long, ever連用。long since意爲(wèi)“好久以前”, not long since意爲(wèi)“就在不久前”, ever since意爲(wèi)“從那時(shí)起,此後一直”。
- since用作連詞作“自從…以來(lái)〔以後或,現(xiàn)在〕”解時(shí),引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,在主句是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的情況下,如果since從句中謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用一般過(guò)去時(shí),則表示動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)的完成,計(jì)時(shí)的起點(diǎn)是動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)完成的那一時(shí)刻,在語(yǔ)意上,非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞的句子與其詞意一致,含有肯定的意味,而延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞的句子與其詞意恰好相反,含有否定的意味; 如果since從句用延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),則表示該動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)一直延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在時(shí)刻,而且可以包括現(xiàn)在時(shí)刻在內(nèi),時(shí)間的起點(diǎn)應(yīng)從動(dòng)作發(fā)生之時(shí)算起,句子的意思和動(dòng)詞的詞意一致,具有肯定意味; 在現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)中,延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞的一般過(guò)去時(shí)有時(shí)也可表示動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在時(shí)刻,時(shí)間的起點(diǎn)從動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)發(fā)生之時(shí)算起,不過(guò)這類(lèi)句子多半要用ever來(lái)加強(qiáng)since的語(yǔ)意,然而, since從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞如果是非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞,即使用ever來(lái)加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)意,也絕不意味著從句動(dòng)作有什麼延續(xù)性。
- 在“it is+since從句”結(jié)搆中:since從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞多用一般過(guò)去時(shí),其時(shí)間起點(diǎn)的計(jì)算以及從句的含意和動(dòng)詞詞意的關(guān)系與1.中所述的相應(yīng)部分相同; since從句中的謂詞動(dòng)詞也可以用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),表示動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)的完成,時(shí)間的起點(diǎn)從動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)的完成之時(shí)算起,句子與動(dòng)詞的詞意相反,含有否定的意味; 在這種結(jié)搆中,如把is改成was,可用來(lái)表示某一過(guò)去動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)結(jié)束時(shí)起到另一過(guò)去時(shí)刻爲(wèi)止的這一段過(guò)去時(shí)間。
- since引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句時(shí),若主句表示目前的狀況是由於過(guò)去某一件事所造成的後果或影響時(shí),其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也可以用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí); 有時(shí)候,通過(guò)上下文,可以看出從句的動(dòng)作是延續(xù)到過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)間,這時(shí)主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用過(guò)去完成時(shí); 如果主句的動(dòng)作是從過(guò)去某時(shí)一直延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在,主句可用現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)。
- since作“因爲(wèi),既然,由於”解時(shí),引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句,用來(lái)說(shuō)明産生主句的原因,這種原因帶有分析後的推理性質(zhì)。
