副词
long
的若干用法限制
◆long用作副词时,原则上只用于肯定句和疑问句。如:http://yingyu.chazidian.com
—How long will it take to get there? 到那儿需要多长时间?
—It won’t take long. 没多长时间。
英语一般不说:It would take long. 可考虑改为将:
It would take a long time. 那样会需要很长时间。
在日常会话中 (for) a tong time常被 (for) ages替代。如:
I waited for ages. 我等了好长时间。
It took us ages to get there. 我们花了好长时间才到那儿。
◆但是,long的比较级和最高级longer和longest却可以不受限制地使用。如:
It took longer than I expected. 花得时间比我预料的长。
No one can say how much longer the strike will last. 谁也说不出罢工还会持续多久。
Women, generally speaking, live longer than men. 一般说来女人比男人活得长。
Which type of battery lasts longest? 哪一种电池使用寿命最长?
◆另外,带有修饰语的long,如too / so+long或long+enough结构可表示肯定语气。如:
Could she have been waiting so long? 她能等得这么久了吗?
Gone from home so long, they joyously embraced their mates of boyhood. 他们久离家乡,高兴地拥抱他们的儿时伙伴。
They might have found it impossible to have lived together so long, had not a particular circumstance occurred. 如不是情况特殊,他们是不可能长久住在一起的。
