already什么意思(Already 还有这样的意思?)

already

 

美 [ɔlˈrɛdi]

 

 

英英:before the present time

 

例句:I’ve already told him.

I’ve been waiting an hour already.

 

英汉:已经(adv)

 

但是,

 

already 还有更加地道,却不为人知的用法

 

假如:你在等待你的朋友,他却迟到了,那么你可能会给他打电话说:Where are you already?

 

再假如,你在拼命赶报告,还有一个小时就到截止日期了,你的老板看到说了一句:You should be done already.

 

你有没有发现,already是在强调 lateness. 当你已经太迟了,或者马上就要迟到了……更隐身的意思是:hurry、hurry…..

 

但是不要和你的老板、老师、长辈这样来使用。因为already 放在句末的感情基调类似于:what’s going on?

what’s the hell? 否则会使他们生气。

 

 

对话:

 

Where is my fried chicken already?I ordered 30 minutes ago.

 

Here is your order , sir.

 

I thougut you forgot about me.

 

With your beautiful voice? How could I?
