 一、ago的基本用法ago表示多久时间“以前”这一意义时,注意:


(1) 只能与一段时间连用,不与一点时间连用;(2) 只能放在时间段之后,不能置于其前;(3) 通常只与过去时连用,不与现在完成时连用。
He left here five years ago. 他五年前就离开这儿了。
但是若用于表示推测的句子,或因为行文的需要而使句子生动等,ago 有时也可与完成式连用。如:
He may have been there a month ago. 他也许一个星期以前就去过那儿。
He told me he had seen her a few days ago. 他告诉我他几天前见到过她。
二、两条易忽略用法1. 汉语中的“多久以前的今天(明天)”,英语一般用“一段时间+ago today (tomorrow)”来表示。如:
He died ten years ago today. 他是10年前的今天去世的。
The meeting took place a fortnight 1 ago tomorrow. 会议在两个星期以前的明天举行。
2. 含有 ago 的短语通常用作状语,有时也用作表语。如:
A: How long ago did you go there? 你多久以前去过那儿?
B: It was ten years ago—a long time ago. 10年前——很久以前了。
It was nine years and two American Presidents 2 ago. 那是九年前的事了,其间换过两任美国总统。

n.两星期,十四天
  • A fortnight passed in a flash.一晃半个月过去了。
  • My daughter comes to visit me once every fortnight.我女儿每两周来看我一次。
n.总统;(大学)校长( president的名词复数 );会长;[P-]总统;银行行长
  • Several presidents attended the funeral. 好几位总统参加了葬礼。
  • The Roosevelt family produced two presidents: Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt. 罗斯福家族出过两个总统:西奥多·罗斯福和弗兰克林·罗斯福。 来自《现代汉英综合大词典》
