校園英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)(MP3+字幕)第17期:as yet

字號(hào):

as yet 到這一時(shí)刻為止
    【講解】
    此語(yǔ)用于否定句或疑問(wèn)句中,表示“到這一時(shí)刻為止”,例如:As yet, there’s been no news.(到目前為止還沒(méi)有消息。)此語(yǔ)的反義語(yǔ)為not yet(尚未,還沒(méi)有),多用于對(duì)疑問(wèn)句的回答,例如:A: Would you care for something to eat? B: Not just yet, thank you. (A:你要不要吃些東西? B:謝謝你,這會(huì)兒還不餓。)在英語(yǔ)中也常用up to 一語(yǔ)來(lái)表示到什么時(shí)候?yàn)橹?例如:up to now (到現(xiàn)在為止)。
    【對(duì)話(huà)】
