有一读者问: 如何做这道题:
(1)If you keep on, you'll succeed.
A. in time B. at one time C. at the same time D. on time
首先我们应弄清上述四种选择的意义。第一种选择是 in time,通常有两个意义。一是“及时”,如:
(2)I got there just in time .
二是“终将,到时候”如:
(3)That boy will learn that in time .
第二种选择是 at one time 通常也有两层意思。一是“曾经,一度”,如:
(4)You worked for them, didn't you, at one time ?
二是“同时”,如:
(5)Let's start the dance again, at one time .
第三种选择是 at the same time ,通常意谓“同时”,如:
(6)The two runners reached the finish line at the same time .
第四种选择是 on time ,常意谓“按时”或“准时”,如:
(7)The train arrived at the station on time .
(8)He's always on time .
基于上述分析,这一道题的答案自然应选A,即 in time (作“终将”解)。
