adv.(副词)

1. soon用作副词,意思是“不久”,可指“将来”,表示“预期的时刻不久就会到来”,用以谈论不久将来的事或在过去某时间以后不久所发生的事,强调两个时间的接续关系。soon引申还可作“早”“快”解,强调行为的快捷,毫不迟延。
2. soon还可作“宁可”“宁愿”解,通常与would等连用,构成would (just), as soon...(as), would sooner...than的句型。
3. soon可放置于句末,有时也可放在句首,也常置于动词短语的第一个助动词后面,如果没有助动词,就置于实义动词前。但如果动词是be,则位于be的后面。如加quite, very或too修饰, soon则须置于句末。
4. no sooner...than...意思是“一…就”,特别用于书面语中,表示一件事情紧接着另一件事情发生, no sooner通常位于第一个从句的主要动词前面,第二个从句than开始。在故事中,有时用倒装语序,将no sooner放于句首,后面紧跟主语。
5. soon前可有very, pretty, quite, rather等修饰。

adv.(副词)

soon, at once

这两个词(组)的区别是:soon表示“不久”“很快”,强调时间很短; at once表示“马上”“立刻”,强调动作随即发生。例如:

He soon became active in the class.他在班上很快就变得活跃起来。

When I heard the knock,I opened the door of the room at once.我听到敲门声马上就把房门打开了。

as soon as, no sooner...than, hardly...when

这三个短语都可表示“一…就…”。其区别是：

1.as soon as可转化为no sooner...than或hardly...when结构。例如:

As soon as I heard the knock I opened the door.

No sooner had I heard the knock than I opened the door.

Hardly had I heard the knock when I opened the door.

当我听到敲门声,我马上就开门了。

2.as soon as通常用于一般时态, no hardly...than和hardly...when通常用于过去完成时。例如:

As soon as you finish your job, let me know.你一完成工作就告诉我一声。

No sooner had the doctor arrived than he began treating the sick.医生一到马上就抢救病人。

I had hardly started when it began to rain.我刚动身就下起雨来了。

soon, fast, quickly

这三个词都可表示“很快”。其区别是：

soon强调的是预期的时刻不久就会到来, fast和quickly强调的是动作进行的速度快。例如:

Their population is growing fast.他们的人口增长得很快。

Come quickly, he's drowning!快来,他溺水了。

soon, early, quick, shortly

这组词的共同意思是“不久”“即刻”“快”。其区别在于:early常指时间比原来或通常早些; quick含有匆忙、仓促之意; soon指在某一特定时间过现在之后不久,多用于将来时或过去时,通常放在句末或主要动词之前; shortly与soon同义,但比soon更郑重,常用于新闻报道等。例如:

You have to think quick with the mind and act quick with the body.你必须脑子转得快,行动也得快。

I came early, and had to wait for others, but soon after five o'clock they appeared.我来得早,得等其他人,可是刚过5点他们就都来了。

Shortly after that, the police arrived.那事情发生不久警察就到了。

how soon, how long

这两个短语的区别是:how soon的意思是“多久”,当我们就陈述句中的“过多少时间(就能…)”这一部分提问时,只能用how soon不能用how long; how long的意思是“多长”,当我们就陈述的“一段时间的长短”提问时,要用how long,不能用how soon。试比较:

“How soon will he be here?”“In two hours.” “再过多久他就在这里了?”“两个小时。” “How long will he be here?”“For two hours.” “他要在这里呆多长时间?”“两个小时。”

immediately，instantly，presently，directly，shortly，soon，at once，right away

这些副词或副词词组均有“立刻、马上”之意。

immediately指做完一件事后，立即就做另一件事，中间一般没有明显的时间间隔。

instantly指恰恰就在此刻，一秒钟也没耽误。

presently指不久、即将。

directly和immediately同义，指毫无迟疑。

shortly和soon同义，指动作发生或完成的速度之快。

soon常用词，指行动快，完成速度快。

at once口语中常用，语气强烈，指时间紧迫，一刻也不能耽误。

right away主要用于美国英语，语气稍弱于at once，强调动作迅速。

adv.(副词)

他要多久才来?

误 How long is he coming?

正 How soon is he coming?

析 当表示“(在某事发生之前)将有多长时间”时,要用how soon,不可用how long。

她听到敲门时,很快就打开了门。

误 When she heard the knock, she opened the door soon.

正 When she heard the knock, she opened the door immediately.

析 soon的意思是“不久之后”,不是“立刻”的意思。

误 Lunch was ready soon before he came back.

正 Lunch was ready shortly before he came back.

析 表示“在…前不久”,可说shortly before...,不可说soon before。

他说他宁愿死也不愿背叛自己的朋友。

误 He said he'd sooner die than to betray his friend.

正 He said he'd sooner die than betray his friend.

析 would sooner...than...表示“宁愿…而不愿…”, would sooner和than后面都可接不带to的动词不定式。

误 He will phone me as soon as he will arrive.

正 He will phone me as soon as he arrives.

我一有空就会再写的。

误 I will write again as soon as I shall be free.

正 I will write again as soon as I am free.

析 as soon as引导的状语从句中的谓语动词,只能用现在时来表示将来的时间。
