   alone,lone 1


  这一对词都有“单独”、“孤单”(having no other person or thing nearby)之意,但用法有所不同。
  就词性而言,alone既可作形容词,又可作副词;而lone只能作形容词,不能作副词。例如:
  He is alone.(adj.)
  He live alone.(adv.)
  A lone bird flew past.(adj.)
  用作形容词时,alone只能作表语;而lone一般只能作定语。例:
  I am alone.(不能说: I am an alone person)
  我独居。
  She wants to make a lone flight.
  她想单独飞行。
  在现代英语里,alone和lone跟lonely涵义不同,前二者只表示“单独”,没有感情色彩,但后者则表示“孤单、寂寞”的感受。例:
  Though I was alone in Hong Kong,I did not feel lonely.
  虽然我独居香港,但是我并不感到寂寞。
  The lone traveller 2 led a lonely life.
  那独行客过着寂寞的人生。
  关于alone一词,在使用时要注意几点:
  (一)alone是表语形容词,因此,我们不能说:very alone,只可以说much alone或very much alone。
  (二)alone虽然作“单独”、“孤单”解,但它并不一定用于表示贬义的场合,因为有些人生来就喜欢“孤单”和“清静”,例如下句中的alone就是反映这个涵义:
  Leave me alone.
  不要打扰我。
  (三)alone用在名词或代词之后可以表示“唯有”、“唯独”之意。例:
  Jackson alone knows what happened.
  唯有杰克逊一个人知道出了什么事。
  You alone can help me in this task.
  只有你才能在这件事中帮助我。
  (四)let alone是固定词组,其义为“更不用说”、“不在话下”。例:
  He can speak Spanish,let alone English.
  他能说西班牙文,英语就更不在话下了。
  He can't drive a car,let alone a truck.
  他连小汽车都不会开,更不用说开卡车了。
  由例句可见,let alone与to say nothing of同义,它们可互换使用。
