词语用法

1. always指“每次，无例外的”，

   Rain and storm always comes with typhoon.
   always指得是百分百，如果十次中有八九次一样，不能说always，只能说almost always。

2. 在进行时态中，always指“时常，往往”。always还常有“令人不耐烦”的含义。

   He is always asking questions.
   他常提问。

   You are always finding fault with me.
   你老找我茬，真烦。

3. always在不定时态和进行时态的句子中，含不同意思。

   She always dreams of him.
   两句都指“她老梦到他”，但前者是她未必时常梦到他，而后者是她时常梦到她。

4. 表示反义“常常不”的时候，不能说always not，而是用never。

   She never laughs.(NOT She always does not laugh.)

5. always不可以与whenever等已经表示“任何的，任一一次的”词连用。

   Whenever he meets me he always speaks of his father.
   句中，whenever已表示任何时候，就不需再加always去强调每次，删掉always或者改whenever成when。

6. He always is here!指“他的确常在这（不要认为他不在这）”，强调is，需重读，注意句末习惯用感叹号。

adv. (副词)

1. always是含有肯定意义的程度副词,其基本意思是指某个行为发生频率的百分之百或某种状态存在的自始至终。
2. always作“总是,永远,始终”解时只与一般时连用,不与进行时连用。用于进行时或口语中表示再三的、多次的重复行为,常指令人不快或讨人嫌的事情,不表示某时刻正在发生的动作。always有时可用于现在完成时,常译为“一直〔向〕”“早已”。always有时还与can, could连用表示“无论如何”“实在不行的话”“当然,肯定”等。always用在口语中还有“厌烦”“气愤”“不满”“责备”“惊奇”“赞许”等意思。
3. always在句中的位置比较固定,即总是在实义动词之前,动词be、助动词或情态动词之后。但在强调时, always也可放在动词be、助动词或情态动词之前(这时动词be、助动词或情态动词要重读)。有时为表达感情, always也可放在句首或句末(这时always要重读),在祈使句中, always可置于句首。
4. always不能修饰not,但可被not修饰,即不说always not,只说not always表示部分否定。但always可修饰由表示否定意义的前后缀构成的形容词,意为“总是不”。
5. always不可用very或how修饰,因为其表示的频率已经是100%,故不必再强调或询问。
6. always可用almost或nearly修饰,但不可用hardly修饰。
7. always不用于比较等级。

词义辨析

adv. (副词)

always, all ways

• always是由all ways演变而来的,它们形、音相近,但含义不同。前者是副词,后者是由两个词组成的名词性短语,表示“(尽可能用)各种方法”,含有未达到预想结果的意味。例如：
• He boasts that he can do it all ways.他吹嘘自己能用各种方法做这件事。
• We have tried all ways to get the information, but without success.我们想尽一切办法去弄清情况,但没有成功。
• All ways to cure him have been tried.为了抢救他,所有办法都试过了。
• The carpenter tried all ways of fixing the shelf to the wall, but always without success.木匠千方百计想把这个架子固定在墙上,可总不成功。
• He always teaches his students in all ways.他总是用各种方法教学生。

always, often, usually, sometimes

• 这四个词意思相近。其区别是：
• 1.表示的频率不同。例如：
• He comes to school on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday and even on Sunday.我们可说：He always goes to school.always表示的频率是100%。
• He comes to school on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday and Friday.我们可说：He usually goes to school.usually表示的频率是90%。
• He comes to school on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday.我们可说：He often goes to school.often表示的频率是60%。
• He comes to school on Monday and Thursday.我们可以说He sometimes goes to school.sometimes表示的频率是20%。
• 2.always的反义词是never; often的反义词是seldom; usually的反义词是occasionally, sometimes的反义词是always。

always，often，usually，frequently，repeatedly，regularly

• 这些副词均表示频度。
• always总是，永远。语气最强，指在一切时候，没有例外。
• often经常，语气弱于always,侧重动作发生的次数具有经常性，具体时间意味不强。
• usually通常，通例地，指习惯性动作，频度仅次于always，较often大，偶尔有间隔。
• frequently时常，经常，与often同义，可通用，但较正式，强调次数频繁。
• repeatedly屡次，强调次数多，但反复的频率不一定均匀。
• regularly用于修饰经常而有规律性的动作。

常见错误

adv. (副词)

1. 我值班时从来不发生什么事。

   误 Always nothing happens when I am on duty.

   正 Nothing ever happens when I am on duty.

2. 我在那儿时,从来没有人打扰我。

   误 During my staying there, always nobody disturbed me.

   正 During my staying there, nobody ever disturbed me.

   析 always不与nothing, nobody用在一起表示全部否定。

3. 他从不提问。

   误 He doesn't always ask questions.

   正 He never asks questions.

   析 always被not修饰时表示部分否定,若要表示完全否定,须用always的反义词never。
