在英语中,表示动作发生频率的副词称为频度副词。常见的频度副词有:always, usually, often, sometimes, seldom, never等。现将它们的用法阐述如下:

一、频度副词的含义

1. always表示动作呈连续状态,中间没有间断,意为“总是;一直”,其反义词为never。例如:

Wang Kai is very kind and he is always ready to help others.

王凯人很好,他总是乐意帮助别人。

2. usually意为“通常”,表示通常如此,很少有例外,一般位于句中,其反义词为unusually。例如:

My father usually gets up at six o’clock. 我父亲通常6点钟起床。

3. often意为“经常;常常”,强调经常性,表示动作重复,但中间有间断,其反义词为seldom。例如:

I often go to the cinema with my friends on weekends. 我周日经常和朋友们去看电影。

4. sometimes意为“有时;间或”,表示动作偶尔发生,中间间隔较大。例如:

Sometimes walking is even faster than driving during the busy traffic time.

在交通高峰期,有时走路甚至比开车还快。

5. hardly ever意为“几乎从不;很少”,相当于seldom。例如:

The old man hardly ever goes to bed before midnight these days.

这些天这位老人很少在午夜前就寝。

6. never意为“从不;绝不”,表示动作或状态从未发生。例如:

My sister never drinks coffee because she dislikes it.

我姐姐从不喝咖啡,因为她不喜欢咖啡。

二、频度副词的频率高低排序

按频率高低,常用频度副词的排列顺序为:always>usually>often>sometimes>hardly ever>never。

三、频度副词的位置

频度副词一般放在实义动词之前,be动词、助动词和情态动词之后。有时,也可放在句首或句尾。例如:

I can never understand the problem. 我永远都搞不懂这个問题。

How annoying! It rains very often. 多么讨厌啊!天经常下雨。

四、频度副词的用法

1. 频度副词常与一般现在时连用,表示现在经常或反复发生的动作。例如:

We usually take a walk after dinner. 我们晚饭后通常散步。

[always与现在进行时连用,并不强调正在进行的动作,而是表示说话人的赞扬、不满、厌烦等情绪,有强烈的感情色彩。例如:

She is always thinking of others. 她总是想着别人。][温馨提示]

2. 表示频率的短语有every day / week, once / twice a month, three times a week / month等。例如:

Most of people brush their teeth twice a day. 大多数人每天刷两次牙。

3. 对频度副词及表示时间发生频率的短语提问常用how often,表示“多久一次”。例如:

Mr Brown goes swimming every week. 布朗先生每个星期都去游泳。

→How often does Mr Brown go swimming? 布朗先生多久去游一次泳?
