long, a long time

1.这两者都用作表示时间的状语,用于疑问句中可互换。例如:

“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。”

下面两句话意思相同:

It will not take long to finish the work.

不久我就会完成这项工作。

long before, before long

before long的意思是“不久之后”,相当于soon,其中before是介词, long是名词; long before的意思是“很久以前”,相当于a long time earlier,long与before都是副词, long说明before的程度。试比较:

It happened before long.

不久就发生了。

It happened long before.

很久以前就已发生了。

2.这组短语都可以人作主语; ache for和thirst for还可用表示身体某部位的名词作主语。

3.这组短语都可以物作宾语; ache for, long for和sigh for还可以人作宾语。

4.ache for和die for多用于进行时态; hunger for和thirst for多用于一般时态; 而long for则可用于各种时态。

5.除starve for可用于被动语态作“缺乏”解外,其他6个短语极少用于被动语态。

6.die for表示的是极端渴望; ache for和long for表示的是强烈的渴望; 其他4个短语所表示的语气则相对较轻。

7.ache for和long for是口语用法; sigh for是文学用语; 其他4个短语则属于比喻用法。

long, pine, yearn

这组词的共同意思是“渴望”。其区别在于:

1.pine暗示苦苦思念不可能得到的事物; long暗示有强烈的愿望并付诸努力; yearn则暗示不安地或痛苦地渴望做到某事或得到某物。

2.long和yearn后均可跟for短语或不定式,但long是一般用语,用于褒义或贬义均可;而yearn则通常用于高尚的感情或用于诗歌中。例如:
