"much"和"lately"作为英语中常见的副词组合,在语法结构和语义表达上具有特定用法。根据剑桥词典的权威解释,"much"作程度副词时表示"大量地;非常"(来源:Cambridge Dictionary),而"lately"指"最近,近来"(来源:Merriam-Webster)。二者组合使用时,常见于否定句和疑问句,构成"haven't done much lately"(最近没做太多事)等句式。
这种组合的语法结构遵循英语副词连用规则,程度副词"much"需置于频率副词"lately"之前。牛津英语语法指南指出,此类组合多用于口语交流,通过双重时间限定强调近期状态(来源:Oxford Learner's Dictionaries)。例如:"I haven't thought much about it lately"(我最近没怎么考虑这件事)既限定思考频率,又强调时间范围。
在语义层面,"much lately"常暗含对比意味。根据《朗文当代英语词典》的释义,该表达常用来对比过去与现在的状态差异(来源:Longman Dictionary)。如:"She hasn't traveled much lately, though she used to fly every month"(她最近旅行不多,尽管过去每月都乘机出行)。这种用法通过副词组合构建时间维度的比较框架。
“much lately”并不是一个固定搭配的短语,但可以拆解为“much”和“lately”两个词的独立含义及用法:
much
lately
虽然“much”和“lately”不直接构成固定搭配,但可在句子中分别发挥作用:
