for the first
time(“第一次”,与“从未”对立),
是一个表时间的介词短语,在句子中做时间状语,常用于完成时。如:
I've been here for the
first time.我是第一次来这里。
the first time
(“第一次”,与“第二次、第三次......”对立),相当于一个从属连词,常用于过去式或现在时。根据上下文具体情况,可以用as soon as/when来解释。如:
I loved this picture the
first time I saw
it.我第一次到这幅画就喜欢上它了。
例:The man's behaviour gave him a good impression
_____ she saw him.
A. the first time
答案是:A
看下面的两个例句:
He was a school teacher
the first
time I saw him.
当我第一次见到他的时候,那时他是一名学校的老师。
I met him for the first
time.
我第一次见到了他。
此外,在考核the first
time时,还要经常考核它的另外的句式结构:
It is the first time
+从句(从句中通常使用现在完成时态)
It was the first time
+从句(从句中通常使用过去完成时态)
It is the first time
he has been in China.
It was the first time
he had been in China.
