你可能會(huì)注意到,這三個(gè)句子中,副詞的位置都不相同。英語中副詞的位置有時(shí)候會(huì)讓人摸不著頭腦。一般來說,只有具體到某一種副詞時(shí),我們才會(huì)講解其位置。頻率副詞的位置是直接放在主要?jiǎng)釉~前面。因此,它們位于句子。這被稱為副詞位置的“中間位置”。下面是關(guān)于英語中副詞位置的一般說明:
Adverb Placement - Initial Position
副詞位置——初始位置
位于從句或句子前的副詞位置被稱為“初始位置”。
1.Connecting Adverbs
連接副詞
當(dāng)我們使用連接副詞將一段陳述與之前的從句或句子連接起來時(shí),就是用到副詞的初始位置。
你一定要記住,連接副詞位于句子的開頭,以便于和之前的句子連接在一起。連接副詞后經(jīng)常會(huì)跟有逗號。連接副詞數(shù)量繁多,下面是一些最常使用的:
However
但是
Consequently
最終
Then
然后
Next
接下來
Still
仍然
Examples:
例子
Life is hard. However, life can be fun.
生活充滿艱辛,卻又不乏樂趣。
The market is very difficult these days. Consequently, we need to focus on what works best for our customers.
這段時(shí)間市場很不景氣。所以,我們要將重點(diǎn)放在那些最能為顧客提供優(yōu)質(zhì)服務(wù)的事情上。
My friend Mark doesn't enjoy school. Still, he's working hard at getting good grades.
我朋友馬克不喜歡上學(xué)。但他仍然為了考高分而努力學(xué)習(xí)。
2.Time Adverbs
時(shí)間副詞
時(shí)間副詞也會(huì)用在句首,用來表示某事發(fā)生的時(shí)間。值得注意的是時(shí)間副詞的位置是多變的。在所有的副詞中,時(shí)間副詞的位置是最為靈活的。
Examples:
例子:
Tomorrow Peter is going to visit his mother in Chicago.
皮特明天要去芝加哥看望媽媽。
Sundays I like playing golf with my friends.
我喜歡在周日和朋友一起打高爾夫。
Sometimes Jennifer enjoys a relaxing day at the beach.
有時(shí)候,珍妮弗會(huì)在海邊度過輕松的一天。
Adverb Placement - Middle Position
副詞位置——中間位置
1.Focusing Adverbs
焦點(diǎn)副詞
焦點(diǎn)副詞的位置一般位于句子中,或者說是“中間位置”。焦點(diǎn)副詞會(huì)對句子中的一個(gè)部分進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào),以便對其修飾、限制或補(bǔ)充額外信息。頻率副詞(sometimes、usually、never等),表可能性的副詞(probably、certainly等)以及評論性副詞(表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)的副詞,例如intelligently、expertly等)都可以用作焦點(diǎn)副詞。
Examples:
例子:
She often forgets to take her umbrella to work.
她經(jīng)常上班忘了帶傘。
Sam stupidly left his computer at home instead of taking it with him to the conference.
薩姆笨拙地把電腦忘在家了,而不是把它帶到會(huì)議上。
I'll certainly buy a copy of his book.
我一定會(huì)帶上他書籍的復(fù)印本。
NOTE: Remember that adverbs of frequency are always placed before the main verb, rather than the auxiliary verb. (I don't often go to San Francisco. NOT I often don't go to San Francisco.)
注意:機(jī)制頻率副詞總是位于主要?jiǎng)釉~前面,而不是助動(dòng)詞前面。(是I don't often go to San Francisco.而不是I often don't go to San Francisco.)
Adverb Placement - End Position
副詞位置——句末
副詞位置經(jīng)常是在句子或短語的末尾。副詞可以位于句首或句子,頁可以位于句子或短語的末尾。下面是最常見位于句子或短語末尾的副詞。
1.Adverbs of Manner
方式副詞
Adverb placement of adverbs of manner usually occurs at the end of a sentence or clause.
表方式的副詞經(jīng)常位于句子或從句的末尾。
Adverbs of manner tell us 'how' something is done.
方式副詞告訴我們某事完成的方式。
Examples:
例子:
Susan hasn't done this report accurately.
蘇珊沒有準(zhǔn)確地完成這個(gè)報(bào)告。

2.Adverbs of Place
地點(diǎn)副詞
表地點(diǎn)的副詞經(jīng)常位于句子或從句的末尾。地點(diǎn)副詞告訴我們某事完成的地點(diǎn)。
Examples:
例子:
Barbara is cooking pasta downstairs.
芭芭拉在樓下做意大利面。
I'm working in the garden outside.
我在外面的花園里工作。
They will investigate the crime downtown.
他們會(huì)調(diào)查這起發(fā)生在市中心的案件。
3.Adverbs of Time
時(shí)間副詞
時(shí)間副詞的位置經(jīng)常位于句子或從句的末尾。時(shí)間副詞告訴我們某事完成的時(shí)間。
