 Already and Yet - Used with the Present Perfect already和yet——用于现在完成时态

 

 Both already and yet refer activities around the present moment in time.[/en ]二者指的都是现在某个活动。

[en]I have already finished my lunch. 我已经吃完午饭了。

 Have you seen Tom yet? 你看到汤姆了吗？

They haven't visited Rome yet. 他们没有去罗马。

 Already - Referring To a Past Event 指过去的事件

Already is used to something that happened before the moment of speaking. However, it refers to something that affects the present moment in time. Let's take a look at a few examples: already用来指发生于说话之前的事件。但是，它指代的是对现在产生影响的事件。

 

下面我们看看几个例子;

 

 I have already finished the report.

我已经完成报告了。

This sentence could be used to express the idea that I finished the report and it is ready to read now.

该句话可以用来表示，我完成了报告，现在可以看了。

 

 She has already seen that film.

她已经看过那个电影了。

 This sentence might express that the woman saw the film in the past, so she has no desire in the present moment to see the film.

该句话可以用来表示，这位女士之前看过这场电影，所以她现在不想再看了。

 

They have already eaten.

他们已经吃完了。

This sentence would probably be used to state that they are no longer hungry in the present moment.

该句话可以用来表示，他们现在不饿了的意思。

 

The key to using 'already' is to remember that an action that has happened in the past - often in the recent past - affects the present moment or a decision about the present moment in time and therefore is used with the present perfect tense.

 already用法的关键所在就是，记住这个动作是发生在过去——通常是最近——对现在或现在的决定产生影响，因此要用现在完成时态。 Already - Sentence Placement 句中的位置

Already is placed between the auxiliary verb 'have' and the participle form of the verb. It is used in the positive form and should not be used in the negative. Already位于助动词have和动词的分词形式之间。它用于主动语态，而非被动语态。

 

Subject + have / has + already + past participle + objects 主语+have/has+already+过去分词+宾语

 

 I have already seen that film. 我已经看过这个电影了。

 

 Mary has already been to Seattle. 玛丽已经去过西雅图了。
