immediately, at once与right away之间的区别
immediately, at once和right away / right now都有“立即,马上,立刻”之意,但它们的用法却稍有差异,现在对它们之间的差异加以分析和说明如下。
“right away / right now”强调“现在(就得做)”(at this very moment)。例如:
The teacher asked the student to go back home for his homework
right away / right now. (老师要那位学生立即回家去拿家庭作业。)
immediately 常和其它状语连用,这时,它并不含有“现在(就做)”的意思。例如:
(1)You must do it immediately after supper. (你要在晚饭后立刻去做这件事。)(不是现在,而是在晚饭后立刻去做。)
(2)He wanted you to come to see him immediately after school. (他要你放学后马上来见他。)(不是现在,而是一放学就去。)
“at once”在意义和用法上与“right away / right now”大体接近。如第一个例句也可说成:
The teacher asked the student to go back home for his homework at once. (老师要那位学生立即回家去拿家庭作业。)
但“at once”除了有“立刻,马上”的意思外,还有“同时”之意。而immediately和right away / right now则没有这个意思。例如:
(1)Few people can do two things at once. (很少有人能够同时做两件事。)
(2)The TV play is at once interesting and instructive. (那部电视剧不但有趣,而且具有教育意义。)(两种性质同时存在)
all和“at once”构成的短语表示几件事同时发生,或几个人同时做一件事。例如:
(1)Don’t talk all at once. (大家不要同时讲话。)
(2)Do not boil all the dumplings at once, thirty at a time at the most.
(别把饺子一次煮完,一次最多煮30个。)
此外,有时“all at once”还含有“突然”之意,相当于suddenly 。例如:
(1)The boy ran away all at once. (那个男孩突然跑开了。)
(2)All at once we heard a shot and the soldier fell to the ground. (突然,我们听到一声枪响,那个士兵就倒在了地上。)
immediately除了有“立即,马上”之意外,还有“紧接,直接,紧靠”的意思,可以指时间,也可以指空间。例如:
(1)In a period immediately before the Spring Festival, all the department stores were full of
people. (临近春节前的一段时间里,所有的商店里都挤满了人。)
(2)They live in a house immediately behind a row of modern shops. (他们住在紧挨着一排新式店铺的后面的房子里。)
