immediately 是一个常用的英语副词,核心含义指“在时间或空间上毫无延迟地发生或存在”,强调动作或状态的直接性与即时性。其具体用法和含义可细分为以下几个方面:
时间上的“立刻、马上”
表示某个动作在另一事件之后或某个时间点之后瞬间发生,中间没有间隔。
例句: 收到警报后,消防队员immediately 出动。 (Upon receiving the alarm, the firefighters set outimmediately.)
例句: 请immediately 联系技术支持。 (Please contact technical supportimmediately.)
逻辑或顺序上的“紧接着、直接地”
表示一件事是另一件事的直接结果或紧随其后发生,强调紧密的因果或时间顺序关系。
例句: 他认出了我,immediately 叫出了我的名字。 (He recognized me andimmediately called out my name.)
例句: 问题immediately 引起了管理层的关注。 (The issueimmediately drew the attention of management.)
空间上的“紧挨着、紧邻”
表示位置非常接近,中间没有其他事物阻隔(此用法相对时间用法较少见)。
例句: 我的座位immediately 在讲台前面。 (My seat isimmediately in front of the podium.)
例句: 住在我们immediately 隔壁的邻居很友好。 (The neighbors livingimmediately next to us are very friendly.)
作为连词使用 (相当于 “as soon as”)
在非正式英语(尤其是英式英语)中,immediately
可用作连词,引导时间状语从句,意为“一…就…”。
例句:Immediately 他离开,电话就响了。 (Immediately he left, the phone rang.)
例句: 请通知我immediately 你收到回复。 (Please inform meimmediately you receive a reply.)
作为“directly”的同义词
在某些语境下,特别是在表示空间接近或直接关系时,可与 directly
互换。
例句: 他immediately 向我汇报。 (He reportsimmediately to me. / He reportsdirectly to me.)
语用提示:
immediately
会传达强烈的紧迫感和重要性,要求对方优先处理(如:医疗急救、安全警报、关键业务决策等场景)。immediately
可能显得过于强势或要求苛刻,需根据语境和对象调整措辞。权威参考来源:
immediately
定义为:“Without any intervening time or space; directly, instantly; at once.” 来源:牛津英语词典 - immediately (注:OED为订阅资源,此为官方链接)Immediately 是英语中高频使用的副词和连词,其含义及用法如下:
副词(adv.):
连词(conj.):
一……就……:引导时间状语从句,表示前后动作紧密衔接。
词汇 | 核心区别 | 例句 |
---|---|---|
instantly | 强调“瞬间完成” | The app responds instantly.(应用瞬间响应) |
right away | 口语化,多用于美式英语 | Call me right away!(马上打给我!) |
at once | 正式,侧重“同时性” | All guests stood up at once.(客人全体起立) |
directly | 隐含“无中间环节” | Report directly to the manager.(直接向经理汇报) |
Immediately 从时间、空间到逻辑层面均表达“无间隔”的核心概念,需结合语境判断具体含义。掌握其副词与连词的双重功能,并注意与近义词的细微差异,可显著提升语言使用的精准度。
