before的用法

一、连词: 其基本含义是……之前,又可以根据不同语境灵活翻译成还没来得及就……”……”等。具体用法如下: )与情态动词can/could连用

这时候从句虽为肯定形式,根据汉语表达习惯译成还没来得及就,如: Before I could get in a wordhe had measured me. Before she could moveshe heard a loud noisewhich grew to a terrible roar. )用于肯定句中强调主句所表达的时间,距离长,或花费的精力大,译成 We had sailed four days and four nights before we saw lands. We waited a long time before the train arrived. )用于否定句中,强调主句所表达的时间,距离短,或花费的精力小,译成不到……如:

We hadn„t run a mile before he felt tired. 我们跑了还不到一英里他就累了。 )主句含有hardlyscarcely等半否定副词时可以译为……

这时候主句应用过去完成时态,从句用过去时,还可以用when替代before如: We had scarcely reached the school before/when the bell rang. )用于It+be/take+时间段+before句型

在这一句型中又可以根据主从句的时态分成两种情况。

若主句是一般时将来时态,从句是一般现在时.若主句是肯定句意思是要过多长时间;若主句是否定形式翻译成用不了多久就

It will be two weeks before everything returns to normal. It will be many years before the situation improves. It won„t be long before we meet again.用不了多久我们就会再见面的。

这时若主句是一般过去时从句也是一般过去时。若主句是肯定句翻译成多长时间之后


,若主句是否定形式翻译成没过多久就。如:

It was some time before I realized the truth. It wasn„t long before she became a brave solider. After that it still took seven years before they got married. 注意:当主句的谓语动词为延续性动词时,beforeuntil有时可以互换。It was an hour before/until the police arrived.
