[正] Two weeks later he left.
[正] He left after two weeks.
[析] 要表达在多少时间之后,英语中有两种表达法,即:用later时,要时间在前,如three hours later; 而用after时要时间在后,如after three hours.
[误] My father will be back after a few hours.
[正] My father will be back in a few hours.
[析] 受中文的影响,这个介词常常被误用。当你要表达在一段时间内某个动作可以完成时,一定要用in,而不能用after,因为after是指在某一时间之后。例如:This work will be done in two days. 即表明在两天内这一工作一定会做完。而如用了after,即表示在两天之后,完成的时间是不确定的。
after behind
after多用于表示顺序的前后,如:She walked in the line after Tom. 或用来表示追赶,表示一种动态,如:He ran after Mary. 而behind多用于强调先进与落后,如:She is much behind the other girls in sewing. 或者用于表达迟于,如:The train was ten minutes behind the time table. 或者与表示静态的动词连用,如:She hid herself behind the flowers.
afternoon
[误] He worked very hard in a hot afternoon.
[正] He worked very hard on a hot afternoon.
[析] 习惯用的词组in the afternoon, 如果加入任何修饰词后其前面的介词in都要改为on,不论其修饰词在前还是在后,如:He swam in this river on the afternoon of June lst. 又如:Are you free on Sunday afternoon?
