用法辨析

conj. (連詞)

• after可用作連詞連接一個時間狀語從句,從句中一般用現(xiàn)在時表示將來。

adv. (副詞)

• after用作副詞時常與soon, ever搭配,通常用于表示時間的名詞后。
• after用作副詞時不用于比較等級。
• 注意after和in的使用：從某時說到多少時間以后，不用after，而用in。如果指“某個時刻，日期或事件以后”，用after。He will/would arrive in four weeks.He will(或would)arrive after four o'clock /5 July/the ceremony.
• 表達“某事件的若干時間以后”時，應是“若干時間after事件”，而不是“after若干時間of事件”?？烧ftwo hours after his arrival，不可說after two hours of his arrival。在“two hours after his arrival”前加不同的介詞，有不同的意思:“two hours after his arrival”單用時指“他到達兩小時以后”。若前面加the，如the two hours after his arrival指“他到達以后的兩小時”，加for指“在他到達以后的兩小時全段時間里”，加in 跟沒有in意思相同，加within指“在他到達以后的兩小時中的某時刻”；
• 指“若干時間after日期或月份”時，常把當天的日期或當月除外。如five days after 3 July，指從7月4日算起的5天以后，也就是7月9日。但有例外，five days after I July可能指7月8日，months after July可能指11月，注意避免這種結構產(chǎn)生誤解；
• 指“從過去的某時或某事說到現(xiàn)在”時，不用after，用since，所以可說Since his graduation he has been abroad.（since不可改成after）一定要改的話，可表示為After his graduation he went abroad. 這里的after是介詞，用作連接詞時用法一樣。He went abroad after he graduated. 不可說 He has been abroad after he graduated.
• half after four，five minutes after eight等是美國英語，相當于英國英語half past four，five minutes past eight等，英國方言中也有half after four等表達方式；
• after引導的狀語從句，用現(xiàn)在時態(tài)，不用將來時態(tài)。I shall start after he comes.
