用法辨析
- only用作形容詞表示“唯一的,僅有的”,可修飾單數(shù)名詞,也可修飾復數(shù)名詞。前面常加定冠詞the或形容詞性物主代詞。
- 當only與另一個形容詞或數(shù)詞連用時, only要放在它們前面。
- only除用于表示“獨生子女”外,一般不用在不定冠詞an之后。
- only用作副詞時,意思是“只,僅僅,才”。only還常用在名詞短語之前,尤其是用在以數(shù)量詞或數(shù)字起始的名詞短語之前,起強調(diào)作用。
- only后可加動詞不定式結(jié)構(gòu)作結(jié)果狀語,表示“不料,結(jié)果卻”,多用于意外和不幸的場合。如果“only+動詞不定式”的結(jié)構(gòu)較長,可用逗號與前面的成分隔開。
- “only+ v -ing”結(jié)構(gòu)也可用作結(jié)果狀語,通常表示一個自然的或意料之中的結(jié)果,意為“結(jié)果(只)是”,其前一般用逗號與前面的成分隔開。
- only位于句首并修飾句子的狀語時,后面的句子要倒裝。
- only用于將來時常常預示著不好的或不如意的事情發(fā)生。
