【词义辨析】

ago before
ago: 指从现在起往前推算一段时间,始终置于所修饰的词之后,与一般过去时连用。
before: 或指从过去某一时间起向前推算的若干时间的以前,通常与过去完成时连用;或泛指以前,并不具体指若干时间以前,可使用现在完成的或过去时;还可指从将来某一时间起的若干时间以前。

【词语用法】

  1. ago所适用的时态:
    通常来说,ago用于过去时态,不能用于完成时态,如不能说She has seen him a week ago,只能说She saw him a week ago
    ago只有在有助动词或分词、动名词或不定式的形式中才能用完成时态。
    • She must have seen him a week ago.
      She cannot have seen him a week ago.
      Having seen him a week ago, she is always thinking of him.
      She seems to have seen him a week ago.
    有时当语气强调“早已……”时,也可用完成时态。
    • I have long ago given up that habit.
  2. ago与before的比较:
    表示“早于现在多少时间前”,用ago
    • He started five minutes ago.
    表示“早于过去某时多少时间前”,通常用before。不过英美人也有用ago,觉得语气比较生动。
    • He told me he had seen her a few minutes before.
    表示“早于将来某时多少时间前”,也用before。
    • When you call at the shop again this afternoon, you may be told that the book has been sold only a few minutes before.
    表示“早于任何某时(不是现在、过去或将来的某时)多少时间前”,仍用before。
    • He often forgets what he has heard only a few minutes before.
  3. ago后面带从句时,可以接that 引导的从句,而不可以用since。
    • He died 20years ago.(不带从句)
      It is 20 years since he died.(not ago)
      It was 20 years ago that he died.(带从句)
  4. 注意在as long ago as 1864等表达方式中,第二个as后面没有in。通常说as long as forty years,不说as long ago as forty years;
  5. 句子She died three years ago next Monday指“她在3年前的下周一去世”,而句子It happened a fortnight ago tomorrow指“这事发生在13天以前”。“刚过去的第二个晚上”常用 two evenings ago来表示。
