關(guān)于since的用法及解釋
在學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的過(guò)程中我們會(huì)遇到許多大大小小的困難,如果來(lái)引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)since呢,接下來(lái)小編在這里給大家?guī)?lái)since的用法及解釋?zhuān)覀円黄饋?lái)看看吧!
since的用法
一.Since作為介詞,后接某一確定的時(shí)間點(diǎn),主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是持續(xù)性動(dòng)詞,常與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)、現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)或過(guò)去完成時(shí)態(tài)連用。例如:
1、He left the village in 1982 and I haven’t seen him since then.1982年他離開(kāi)這個(gè)村子,從那以后我再?zèng)]見(jiàn)過(guò)他。
2、She’s been working in a bank since leaving school.她中學(xué)畢業(yè)后就一直在一家銀行工作。
3.He had spoken to her only once since the party. 自從那次聚會(huì)以來(lái),他只跟她說(shuō)過(guò)一次話(huà)。
二.Since作為副詞,表示從過(guò)去以來(lái)、以后或到現(xiàn)在的情形或狀態(tài),常與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)連用。例如:
1.He left home two weeks ago and we haven’t heard from him since. 他兩周前離開(kāi)了家,到現(xiàn)在我們一直沒(méi)有他的消息。
2.He came to Zhenjiang 6 years ago and has lived here (ever) since.他6年前來(lái)到鎮(zhèn)江,從此便住在這里。
三.since引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句
作為連詞,since可引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句,表示因?yàn)?既然;鑒于:例如:
1. He didn’t come since he was busy.他因?yàn)槊?,所以沒(méi)有來(lái)。
2. Since this method doesn’t work, let’s try another.既然這種方法不行,我們就試用另一種吧。
四.Since引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句
1.若since引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)是終止性動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去時(shí),則從句表示的時(shí)間是“從動(dòng)作開(kāi)始的那一時(shí)刻起”。例如:
He has studied very hard since he came to our school.自從他來(lái)到我們學(xué)校,他學(xué)習(xí)就非常努力。
We have been missing them since they left here自從他們離開(kāi)這里,我們就一直很想念他們。
2.若since引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是持續(xù)性動(dòng)詞或表示狀態(tài)動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去時(shí)時(shí),則從句表示的時(shí)間是“從動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)結(jié)束時(shí)算起”。例如:
I haven’t heard any noise since I slept. Sleep 為持續(xù)性動(dòng)詞,sleep的動(dòng)作結(jié)束時(shí),即“醒來(lái)”時(shí),所以這句應(yīng)譯為“我醒后還未聽(tīng)到任何聲音”。
3.若since引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)為持續(xù)性動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),則表示動(dòng)作和狀態(tài)延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在(說(shuō)話(huà)時(shí)刻),其表示的時(shí)間的起點(diǎn)應(yīng)從動(dòng)作發(fā)生之時(shí)算起。例如:I haven’t heard from him since he has lived there。 這里has lived表示動(dòng)作的持續(xù)性,時(shí)間的起點(diǎn)應(yīng)從:“開(kāi)始居住”時(shí)算起。因此此句可理解為“自從他(開(kāi)始)住在那兒起,我就一直沒(méi)收到他的來(lái)信”。
五.Since在特殊句型中的應(yīng)用
句型I:“It is (has been)+時(shí)間+since+持續(xù)性動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去時(shí)”,表示“自從……以來(lái)到現(xiàn)在已有多久。”例如:
It has been quite some time since I was last in London.我上次離開(kāi)倫敦至今頗有一段時(shí)間了。
句型II:“It was+時(shí)間+since+持續(xù)性動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去完成時(shí)”,表示“從……到過(guò)去某時(shí)間點(diǎn)以來(lái)”,例如:It was three years since we had been here.那時(shí)我們?cè)谶@已呆了三年。

since的例句
1. In the dozen years since the publication of the first edition of this book, software and interactive products have certainly improved.
本書(shū)的第1版問(wèn)世以來(lái),12年間,軟件和交互產(chǎn)品的確有所進(jìn)步。
2. Texture is seldom useful for conveying differences or calling attention, since it requires a lot of attention to distinguish.
紋理很少被用來(lái)表達(dá)不同或者引起注意,因?yàn)榉直婕y理需要很強(qiáng)的注意力。
3. Expanding dialog boxes were big around 1990 but have declined in popularity since then, largely due to the ubiquity of toolbars and tabbed dialogs.
擴(kuò)展對(duì)話(huà)框大約在1990年左右非常流行,自那以后主要是因?yàn)楣ぞ邫诤蜆?biāo)簽對(duì)話(huà)框的無(wú)所不在而走向衰落。
4. It isn’t unreasonable to suspect a similar pattern in any kind of interface navigation, since this number is consistent with how much information we can hold in our short-term memories; when there are too many colors, we spend time trying to remember what the colors mean, so that slows us down.
這個(gè)數(shù)字同我們的短期記憶能力有關(guān),我們的短期記憶僅僅能存儲(chǔ)有限的信息。 因此當(dāng)有太多顏色時(shí),我們的大腦不得不花費(fèi)額外的時(shí)間記住每種顏色的意義,這樣便降低了我們的處理速度。 所以,在任何界面的導(dǎo)航中都是這樣的情況,我們毫無(wú)理由超過(guò)這個(gè)數(shù)字。
5. Ultimately, the use of folders or directories as a primary retrieval mechanism requires that users know where an item has been stored in order to locate it. This is unfortunate, since digital systems are capable of providing us with significantly better methods of finding information than those physically possible using mechanical systems.
所以作為主要檢索機(jī)制的文件夾或者目錄,最終需要使用者知道一個(gè)物品到底放在哪個(gè)位置,才可以找到它。 這就很不幸了,按道理講,和各種各樣的物理世界中的機(jī)械系統(tǒng)相比,數(shù)字世界應(yīng)該有能力提供給我們更加優(yōu)越的查找信息的手段,我們下面要談的是如何提高這種檢索能力。
6. The document that was current at the time of the version selection will be created as a version itself. Also, since disk space is hardly a scarce resource these days, it makes sense to create versions regularly, in case it doesn’t occur to your users.
這個(gè)文檔在這個(gè)時(shí)刻也應(yīng)該成為一個(gè)新版本。 另外,既然現(xiàn)在磁盤(pán)空間并不是什么稀缺資源,所以有規(guī)律地生成版本是有意義的,以防使用者自己沒(méi)有定時(shí)保存。
7. Also, we don’t want to rely on hue as the sole communication vector, since color-blindness is quite common.
還有由于存在著色盲現(xiàn)象,因此我們也不能依賴(lài)顏色,把它當(dāng)做是唯一的傳達(dá)矢量。
8. This behavior makes sense, since scrolling over long distances requires gross motor movements that make it difficult to stay within the bounds of the narrow scrollbar control.
這種行為很有道理,因?yàn)殚L(zhǎng)距離的滾動(dòng)需要粗略運(yùn)動(dòng)控制,使其難以保持在滾動(dòng)條控件的范圍內(nèi)。
9. While multiple Undo is certainly a very useful mechanism, there’s no reason not to finish the job and use our ample computing resources to allow users to Undo just the undesirable actions, instead of everything that has happened since them.
盡管多次撤銷(xiāo)顯然是很好的,但也沒(méi)有理由放著充裕的計(jì)算機(jī)處理能力不用,而讓使用者撤銷(xiāo)并不想撤銷(xiāo)的操作,最后還是撤銷(xiāo)了之前全部所有操作。
10. Of course, adjust these properties with restraint, since the most important element doesn’t need to be huge, red, and outdented—often, varying just one of these properties will do the trick.
當(dāng)然,因?yàn)樽钪匾脑匾矡o(wú)須同時(shí)是巨大且紅色,而且還是向外突出的,所以我們要謹(jǐn)慎使用這些屬性。 一般來(lái)說(shuō),調(diào)整其中一個(gè)屬性就可以了。
