副词
副词可以修饰动词、形容词、其他副词、介词短语等,具有对这些词进行补充说明的作用,如:
1 副词的常见构成形式
①“形容词+ly"是最常见的副词构成形式,如:patient——patiently,beautiful——beautifully,usual——usually,near——nearly,easy——easily,cheap——cheaply等。
但是也有例外,如:there(那里)、then(那时)、however(然而)、perhaps(也许)、fast(快)等。
②有些以-ly结尾的词,并不一定是副词。在名词后加-ly时,一般构成形容词,如:friendly(友好的)、monthly(每月的)、seasonly(每季的)、daily(每日的)、brotherly(兄弟般的)等。
Judy is a friendly girl.
The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden.
2 副词的比较等级
副词的比较等级与形容词的类似,由它构成的句型也大致相同,只是所修饰的对象不同,如:He is the fastest guy.(此处fastest为形容词的最高级)
He runs fastest .(此处fastest为副词的最高级,注意多数副词的最高级前不用the)
Jenny sings as sweetly as Linda.
He can't jump so high as Tom.
3 方式副词
方式副词的位置通常有三种:①句尾或宾语/动词之后,如:Jason watched the small monkey curiously.(在宾语之后)
It snowed heavily last night.(在动词之后)
②在主语和动词之间,如:Jenny angrily slammed the door behind her.
③用在句子开头,如:Normally,our papers are delivered every morning.
有些方式副词如:bravely,cleverly,cruelly,foolishly,generously、kindly,secretly,simply,badly,naturally等,当位置改变时,其强调的方面也随之变化,如:
He typed the letter very badly.他这封信打得很糟糕。(强调方式)
We badly need a new typewriter.我们非常需要一名新打字员。(强调程度)
You should always speak naturally.你应该一直自然地讲话。(强调方式)
Naturally,I'll accept the invitation.当然,我会接受邀请的。(强调态度)
4 时间副词
(1)时间副词可分为表确定时间的副词和表不确定副词两种。常见的表确定时间的副词有tomorrow、yesterday,last month等,表示明确的时间概念。表不定时间的副词非常多,如already,another day,at once,at last,early,eventually,immediately,just,late,lately,recently,now,nowadays,once,one day,some day,then,these days,suddenly等。
①表确定时间的副词位置一般在句首或句尾,如:This morning I had a telephone call from Jenny.
I heard from Jack this Monday/yesterday.
② 表不定时间的副词的位置一般放在句首、句尾、实义动词之前和助动词或系动词be之后。如:Recently I often walk to work.(句首)
By the way,have you seen Jack recently?(句尾)
I was recently in London.(系动词后)
(2)already和yet
①already一般不用在否定句和疑问句中,它的位置与非确定性频度副词相同,如:This style is already out of date.
This computer is out of date already.
I've already seen the report.
Jack already knows the truth.
为了特别强调,already也可放在助动词之前。放在句尾时,有时可以强调“比预料的要快些”之意。如:Don't tell me you've eaten it already.
②yet一般用于疑问句和否定句中,通常放在句尾。如:Haven't the new petrol price come into force yet?
The new petrol prices haven't yet come into force.
在否定简略答语中yet常常用在not的后面,如:Has the meeting began?——No,not yet.
5 程度副词
(1)常见的程度副词有quite、almost、altogether、barely、a bit、enough、fairly、hardly、nearly、rather、somewhat、too等。这些词大部分用在所修饰的词语前面,如:
修饰形容词:quite good
修饰副词:quite quickly
修饰动词:I quite like him.
修饰名词:quite an experience (一段颇不寻常的经历)
(2)fairly与rather
fairly通常表示褒义,描述主语所期望的和具有积极意义的情况,表示事物处于好的状态,如:The lecture was fairly good.
rather与quite和fairly语气更强,往往含有“过分”的意思,通常用于描述主语所不愿意或消极的内容,如:She is clever but rather lazy.
This dress is rather old.
I did rather badly in the competition.
rather可与比较级连用,fairly则不能。如:Tom earns rather more than his brother.
My mother is rather better today.
rather可与too连用,强调“过分”的意思,如:This book is rather too easy for the college students.
当与褒义形容词连用时,rather含有“惊人地”的意思,如:I did rather well in the test ,better than I had expected.
rather在与名词连用时,位置很灵活,放在不定冠词前或不定冠词后都行,而fairly只能放在不定冠词后。如:
As there were not enough lifeboats for everybody,1500 lives on the Titanic were lost.It's a rather sad story.(=It's rather a sad story.)
It's a fairly good car.
