词语用法

adv. (副词)

1. far的基本意思是“远”,可指距离的远,也可指时间的远。指距离时,一般用于否定句或疑问句,在肯定句中,多用a long way代替far。但far如位于too或so之后,则可以用于肯定句; 与其他副词或介词连用时,也可以用于肯定句。far不与kilometre等表示确切距离的词语连用。
2. far可用在比较级前,表示“过于…”“…得多”。
3. far作“太,极”解时,无比较级和最高级。
4. far可以修饰原级的形容词或副词,语义上含有比较的意味。far和by far都可以修饰形容词或副词的比较级或最高级, far修饰最高级形式和by far修饰比较级和最高级形式时,该最高级和比较级形式前须加定冠词the。
5. far from意思是“远非,不但不…”,后可接名词、代词、形容词、副词、过去分词或动名词。接形容词时,可以看作是省略了being。

adj. (形容词)

1. far的基本意思是“远”,可指距离的远,也可指时间的久远。引申也可表示人“有远见”。
2. far在句中可作定语或表语,作表语时,常与from连用。

词义辨析

adv. (副词)

as far as, so far as

• 这两个短语的共同意思是“直到…为止”。其区别是：
• as far as既可用于肯定句,也可用于否定句; 而so far as只能用于否定句;当表示“据…，就…”时可以换用。例如：
• So far as I know〔As far as I can see〕,that is highly unlike.就我所知〔依我看〕，那是极不可能的。

far and near, far and wide

• 这两个短语的共同意思是“到处”。其区别是：
• far and near含有远近各处的意思; far and wide含有四面八方的意思。例如:
• His good name is known far and near.远近都知道他是个好人。
• People searched far and wide for the missing child.人们到处寻找丢失的孩子。

as far as, until

• 这两个词(组)的共同意思是“一直到…”。其区别是：
• 1.until只能指时间“一直到…”。指距离“一直到…”时,必须用as far as。例如:
• He walked as far as the post office.他一直走到了邮局。
• I'll wait until I hear from you.我将一直等到你来信。
• 2.as far as除表示“一直到…”,还可作“就…而言,只要”解。

far, by far

• 1.修饰形容词或副词的比较级时,只能用far,语义上有比较意味。
• 2.far和by far均可修饰形容词或副词的比较级,比较级前不带冠词the时用far,带the时用by far。
• 3.by far可置于形容词〔副词〕的比较级之后,而far不可。

go too far, go far

• 这两个短语的意思不同。go too far意思是“(做得)太过分”; go far意思是“大有前途(指人)”“大有作用(多指事物)”。例如:
• She really went too far when she called me an ugly old cow.她骂我是丑陋的老母牛,真是太过分了。
• That child will go far, he's only 16, and he already has a place at Oxford University.那个孩子前途远大,他才16岁就已经进了牛津大学。

adj. (形容词)

far, distant, remote

• 这三个词的共同意思是“远的”“遥远的”。其区别是：
• distant指时间上、空间上的遥远,也可指亲属关系上的疏远; 而far除表示实际距离的远和时间的遥远外,还可指程度上的“远”; remote指时间或距离上是遥远的,也指在感情、兴趣等方面距离很大的,还指关系方面疏远的或淡薄的。另外, distant常用于比喻; far通常用于文学语体,用来描写异国风光或景色等。 例如:
• She is always distant with strangers.她对陌生人总是很冷漠。
• He is a distant uncle of mine.他是我的一位远房叔叔。
• My school is far from the town.我的学校离城很远。
• My hometown is remote from sea.我的家乡离海很远。

下面两个句子的意思相同:

• The town is far.
• The town is a long way off.
• 那座城镇离得很远。
• 注意far在肯定句中,多用a long way代替。

distant，far，remote

• 这些形容词都含有“远的”之意。
• distant语意最强，强调距离。
• far除特殊情况外，侧重长距离。也可用作引申意义。
• remote侧重指偏离中心地带。

常见错误

adv. (副词)

1. 我们走了很远。

   误 We walked far.

   正 We walked a long way.

   析 在肯定句中一般不宜单独用far作状语,而多用a long way来代替。

2. 他的最后一部小说是他所有作品中最好的。

   误 The last novel of his is far the best he has written.

   正 The last novel of his is by far the best he has written.

   析 far单独作程度状语一般用来修饰形容词或副词的比较级; 形容词或副词的最高级通常用by far来修饰。

3. 他比我宽容多了。

   误 He is very more tolerant that I.

   正 He is far more tolerant that I.

   析 very不能与形容词、副词的比较级连用。程度状语的修饰语常用far或much。

4. 至于他,一切都很顺利。

   误 As far as he concerned, things were going well.

   正 As far as he was concerned, things were going well.

   析 as far as...be concerned为固定结构,表示“就…而论(来说)”“至于…”, be不能省略。

5. 从电影院到火车站有多远?

   误 How long is it from the cinema to the railway station?

   正 How far is it from the cinema to the railway station?

6. 他们一直走到教堂。

   误 They walked as long as the church.

   正 They walked as far as the church.

   析 far一般表距离远近; long一般指时间长短。

7. 据我所知,他只有一个妹妹。

   误 She has only one younger sister so long as I know.

   正 She has only one younger sister so far as I know.

   析 as〔so〕 far as是一个合成连词,引导状语从句,意为“就…而论”,其中far不可换为long。
