can ever be用法
我们来看两个句子
- can the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity of an object ever be greater than the magnitude of its average velocity?
- can it always be greater?
这里can ... ever be是疑问句,表示经验性询问。即,是否存在这种可能,是否可能存在某一刻瞬时速度大于平均速度
always表示一直,整个过程中瞬时速度一直大于平均速度
我在这里吐槽下自己,居然误解can ever be为一直,瞬时速度一直大于平均速度。
面壁思过。。。
ever 用法
根据doctionary.cambridge.org的解释
every,adverb,意思是at any time
疑问句例句:
表达存在可能性
- has he ever scored a goal before? 他之前是否进过球(表达存在性,并不要求一直进球,只是是否进过)
- do you ever dream about winning the lottery? 你是否梦见过中彩票(表达存在性,是否做过中彩票的梦)
- have you ever heard the Ivy restaurant? 你是否听说过Ivy餐厅(表达存在性,听过一次也是听过)
否定句
表示从来没有
我们可以在否定句中使用not ... ever,但是更常见的情况是我们会用never
- Tom doesn't ever call me at weekends. 或者 Tom never calls me at weekends.
- We haven't ever had a problem with noise in the neighborhood before. 或者We have never had a problem with noise in the neighborhood
否定句中与no one, nobody, hardly联用
- No one ever told me what had happened
- We have hardly ever eaten Vietnamese food. (我们几乎没有吃过越南菜)
if .. ever用法
表示假设条件
-

-

ever so和ever such
表示强调语气

- He was ever such a kind man. 他【TMD】(这里不是在叫大家说脏话,只是强调一下语气)曾经是个很好的人
ever since用法
我们在since前面加上ever来强调从某一刻起某一事实成立
- ever since we met, we have been such great friends. 从我们见面那天起,我们就已经是很好的朋友了

as .... as ever用法
表示比较
- it's as busy as ever. 和往常一样忙

ever表达always
在非常正式的场合,ever联用形容词可以表达always的意思
- the company cannot sustain ever-decreasing profits. 公司无法在一直亏损的情况下支撑下去
- Tom was ever available to help the family. Tom一直有空去帮助邻居
一些说不清楚的情况,lol,毕竟现有语言后有语法
- happily ever after. 这里ever就表达always
