at once, immediately, right now, right away
这四个短语常可互换,只是说话角度上有细微区别。
1.at once等于now, without delay。如:
Do it at once.立刻就做。
at once 也有“at the same time,together”的意思。如:
Don’t all speak at once! 不要全体同时说话!
注意:all at once=suddenly
2.immediately和at once相同,但语意上侧重于“紧接着”。如:
She answered almost immediately.她几乎立刻作了回答。(紧接着问,立刻作答)
He will be ready immediately.他马上就会准备好。(暗指还需几分钟)
注意:immediately还可做连词,等于as soon as。如:
I told him immediately he came.他一来我就告诉他了。
3.right now指at this moment, right away指毫不犹豫或毫不耽误的“立即”。如:
If you get the address, let me know right away.你看到地址,请立即告诉我。
Shall we begin right now? 我们现在就开始吗?
