- 词义辨析
presently, at once, directly, immediately, instantly, right away
这组词(组)共同的意思是“立即”“马上”。它们的区别在于:1.at once主要指动作迅速,但中间多有一段距离,且at once比immediately意味更强。例如:I'm leaving for Rome at once.我马上去罗马。He gave orders for the work to be started at once.他下令立即开始那项工作。2.immediately侧重指时间“紧接着”。例如:I came immediately after I'd eaten.吃过饭我立即就来了。Please close your books immediately and answer these questions.请立即合上书,回答这些问题。I left immediately when the clock struck twelve.钟刚打12点我就离去了。3.right away经常出现在美式英语中。例如:I'll do it right away.我立即去办。He had written down a list of things to do right away.他已写下须立即做的事情。Don't expect them to approve of the design right away.不能期望他们马上批准这项设计。4.instantly也是指动作迅速,但它更强调的是同时发生,中间有很短的距离或无距离。例如:The electrician went instantly in answer to the phone call.电工师傅一接到电话马上就去了。He was killed instantly in a car accident.在车祸中,他当场死亡。5.directly强调“直接地”,多与“迂回绕过”相对。例如:Whether he sailed directly across the bay or coasted round it is uncertain.他是径直驶过海湾,还是沿海岸迂回绕过的,现在还无法确知。6.presently强调过一会再去做某事。例如:I will do the dishes presently, but I want to finish the story first.我过一会去洗碟子,不过我想得先看完这篇故事。
