英語(yǔ)常見副詞用法詳解

　　副詞(短語(yǔ))也可用在被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)中，位置在be和過(guò)去分詞之間：

　　It will be altogether forgotten.The workers were fully employed.It is earnestly hoped that… The war is need- lessly prolonged.

　　1677 4)如果有幾類副詞(短語(yǔ))一起用，它們的順序可安排如下：

　　肯定 地點(diǎn) 方式 頻度 時(shí)間

　　He probably went to Japan by air twice in 1962.

　　We met there unexpectedly last Monday.

　　He's certainly gone abroad with his wife recently.

　　I studied in London under Mr.A for a year.

　　1678 5)如果有兩個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，表示較小單位時(shí)間的狀語(yǔ)宜放在較大單位時(shí)間的前面：

　　I will meet you at three o'clock tomorrow.I saw the film on Tuesday evening last week.

　　如果較大單位時(shí)間比較重要，或較小單位時(shí)間是后來(lái)想起的，則其順序也可以顛倒：

　　I arrived yesterday afternoon，about five o'clock.She and I got married in 1968，in the month of July.

　　1679 6)有兩個(gè)地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)時(shí)，較小的單位一般放在前面，但有時(shí)也不如此，其順序往往根據(jù)文體或句子平衡的需要來(lái)安排：

　　He lived at a small village in a northern state.We spent the holidays at a cottage in the mountains.We spent the holidays in the mountains，at a cottage we rented from a friend.

　　1680 7)最好不要把所有的狀語(yǔ)放在一個(gè)地方：

　　I returned “to the village”“ by train”“before dark”“one day”.(不好)

　　“One day before dark” I returned “to the village”“ by train.”(較好)

　　1681 8)如果把幾個(gè)狀語(yǔ)放在一起，通常宜于把最短的放在前面，把最長(zhǎng)的放在最后：

　　He arrived“silently”“after all his companions”.He slept “soundly”“on a very large bed”.He sat“down”“by mistake”“on the back of a sleeping crocodile”.

　　“Tomorrow” “at five” “when it begins to dawn”， I shall go to a distant city. I shall stay “here”“for three days ” “while the festival is going on”.“Yesterday”“just before breakfast”“when I was writing a letter”， Mr.A called at my house.(先是單詞，然后是短語(yǔ)，最后是從句。)

　　1682 9)像refer to，insist on， beware of;play hell with，take care of，lay stress on;live up to，put up with， look down on;line up，get along，fool about，carry on， give forth，gamble away這樣的成語(yǔ)最好不要分開：

　　He has always firmly and passionately believed in manners.(比 believed firmly and passionately in manners.好)

　　He depends upon his uncle for his education.(比depends for his education upon his uncle好)

　　she looks patiently after the baby.(中間有時(shí)可插入短的狀語(yǔ))

　　1683 10)包含 this，that， like， such， so， thus， the這類詞的狀語(yǔ)，和其他與前面句子或段落有關(guān)的狀語(yǔ)，最好放在主語(yǔ)前面：

　　Just at that moment，a man came.At such a sight，they all shuddered.In this manner he died.So they said.So I do.So do I.Thus they started the rebellion.Here he stopped.After the war， many were starved.In like manner they were killed.From what has been said，this theory is very easy to understand.

　　1684 11)放在動(dòng)詞前的狀語(yǔ)帶有裝飾性，有時(shí)可以省掉，而放在動(dòng)詞后面的狀語(yǔ)比較強(qiáng)調(diào)，更為重要：

　　They suddeny attacked us.They attacked us suddenly.

　　We quietly went away.We went away quietly.

　　I immediately corrected it.I corrected it immediately.

　　I often go to the pictures.I go to the pictures very often.

　　1685 12)一個(gè)狀語(yǔ)，為了強(qiáng)調(diào)而加以重復(fù)時(shí)，必須放在句子前面：

　　She decides to go tomorrow，and tomorrow she must go.

　　She cried sorrowfully，and sorrowfully everyone sighed.

　　John learned Chinese with difficulty，and with difficulty he had learned everything.

　　(Cf.He is as happy as happy(形容詞)can be.If moth- er thinks I must have a wife，wife(名詞)I must have.)

　　1686 13)最好不要把狀語(yǔ)放在兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞之間，以免意思含糊不清。下面句子都不妥當(dāng)，需要改正。例如在第一個(gè)句子中，如果immediately修飾第一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，那它應(yīng)當(dāng)放在wrote的前面，反之，如果它修飾第二個(gè)動(dòng)詞，它就應(yīng)當(dāng)放在 tell the news后面：

　　I wrote immediately to tell him the news.

　　I have telephoned to him three times to come.(最好說(shuō) I have three times telephoned to him to come.或是說(shuō) I have telephoned to him to come three times.)

　　To inform him immediately I rang him up.(在 immediately之后應(yīng)加一逗號(hào))

　　下面例句是正確的：

　　My son now and then asked(×) to follow me to the cinema.He earnestly hoped(×) to see me.John kindly suggested(×) taking care of my little girl.She candidly admitted(×) having gone out with her boyfriend.(“×”表示狀語(yǔ)不宜放的位置。)

　　1687 14)如果主要?jiǎng)釉~前有兩個(gè)助動(dòng)詞，修飾整個(gè)句子的副詞(特別是頻度及肯定副詞)要放在兩個(gè)助動(dòng)詞之間，而修飾主要?jiǎng)釉~的副詞(特別是方式副詞)應(yīng)放在這個(gè)動(dòng)詞的前面：

　　a) Tigers have often been discovered in this area.

　　You can never have seen such a beautiful place.

　　He will probably be made President of the Company.

　　He has surely been punished for his offence.

　　He may，unfortunately，be killed by robbers.

　　b) This decision will be publicly announced.

　　I would have carefully done it，if it had been useful.

　　He must have seriously considered this matter.

　　1688 15)要使副詞(短語(yǔ))盡可能靠近它修飾的動(dòng)詞：

　　We went to deserted village almost ten miles away from the capital yesterday.(不好)

　　We went yesterday to…capital.(較好)

　　Yesterday a guest who had come from a distant country called on me.(不好)

　　A guest…me yesterday.(較好)

　　Immediately，he told me to leave his house.(不好)

　　He told me to leave his house immediately.(較好)

　　1689 16)某些副詞，如 only， alone， also， too， even，可能只與某個(gè)詞有關(guān)，應(yīng)盡量使之靠近這個(gè)詞：

　　Only John(n.)(Nobody else) saw Mary there two days ago.

　　John only saw(v.)Mary(did not talk with her) there two days ago.

　　John saw only Mary(n.)( not anybody else) there two days ago.

　　John saw Mary only there(adv.)(not in any other place) two days ago.

　　John saw Mary there only two days ago(adv-phrase) (not more than two days ago).

　　Her husband，too(not only she)，spends a lot of money.

　　Her husband spends a lot of money， too(not only earns so much).

　　Her husbnad spends a lot of money on dress too(not only on other things).

　　1690 17)一個(gè)包含否定詞(或有否定意義的詞)的副詞(短語(yǔ))可以放在“助動(dòng)詞+主語(yǔ)+主要?jiǎng)釉~”的前面來(lái)加以強(qiáng)調(diào)：

　　不過(guò)，要是一個(gè)短語(yǔ)，雖然包含否定詞，卻沒(méi)有否定意義，句子仍用正常語(yǔ)序：

　　Not long(= A short time)ago I still saw him.(不要說(shuō)did I still see him.)

　　Not infrequently(=Often) he told me the same story.

　　(也可說(shuō) did he tell…)
