vocabulary扩展 | Yet is often used like but when connecting two ideas that contrast — as in, "I love apples, yet I hate applesauce." When yet is not being used as a contrast, it means "more" or "in the future" (which is really just more time). If you've been rehearsing for the school play for weeks, but still don't know your lines, you'll need yet more rehearsals if it's going to be a success. |
柯林斯解释 | 1 [ADV 副词](用于否定句中表示某事尚未发生但有可能发生,在疑问句中用来询问某事是否已发生。英国英语中,表示此义时通常不与一般过去时连用)尚(未),还,仍 You use yet in negative statements to indicate that something has not happened up to the present time, although it probably will happen. You can also use yet in questions to ask if something has happened up to the present time. In British English the simple past tense is not normally used with this meaning of 'yet'. [usu with brd-neg]
2 [ADV 副词](与谈论过去的否定句连用,表示当时并非如此)还,尚(未) You use yet with a negative statement when you are talking about the past, to report something that was not the case then, although it became the case later. [usu with brd-neg]
Usage Note : In British English, yet and already are usually used with the present perfect tense. Have they said sorry or not yet?... I have already started knitting baby clothes. This usage is becoming more common in British English. In American English, a past tense is commonly used. I didn't get any sleep yet... She already told the neighbors not to come. 英国英语中,yet和already通常用于现在完成时。例如,Have they said sorry or not yet(他们是否已经道过歉了),I have already started knitting baby clothes(我已经开始织婴儿衣服了)。这种用法在英国英语中越来越普遍。在美国英语中,一般使用过去时:I didn't get any sleep yet(我还没合过眼),She already told the neighbors not to come(她已经告诉邻居们不要过来了)。 3 [ADV 副词](用于否定句,表示某事以后会做但现在不该或不能做)还,尚 If you say that something should not or cannot be done yet, you mean that it should not or cannot be done now, although it will have to be done at a later time.
