二、词典解释
1.已经(用already时,英国英语中动词用完成时态,美国英语有时则用一般过去时)
You usealready to show that something has happened, or that something had happened before the moment you are referring to. Speakers of British English usealready with a verb in a perfect tense, putting it after 'have', 'has', or 'had', or at the end of a clause. Some speakers of American English usealready with the simple past tense of the verb instead of a perfect tense.
e.g. They hadalready voted for him at the first ballot...
在第一次投票选举时,他们已经投票给他了。
e.g. The group hasalready shed 10,000 jobs...
该集团已经裁去1万个工作岗位。
2.早已(用于be动词或助动词之后,或一般动词之前,表示强调时可置于句首)
You usealready to show that a situation exists at this present moment or that it exists at an earlier time than expected. You usealready after the verb 'be' or an auxiliary verb, or before a verb if there is no auxiliary. When you want add emphasis, you can putalready at the beginning of a sentence.
e.g. The authorities believe those security measures arealready paying off...

Already is often used to add emphasis or to suggest that it is surprising that something has happened so soon.

still happening or is
still the case, you are usually emphasising your surprise that it has been happening or has been the case for so long.

yet in negative sentences and in questions. It is often used to add emphasis, to suggest surprise that something has not happened, or to say that it will happen later.

already and
yet are usually used with the present perfect tense.
I have already started knitting baby clothes... Have they said sorry yet? In American English, a past tense is commonly used.
She already told the neighbors not to come... I didn't get any sleep yet. This usage is becoming more common in British English.
already常用于强调或暗示某件事的发生快得令人惊奇:They were already eating their lunch(他们已经在吃午饭了)。still可用来强调对某件事发生或持续如此长时间感到惊奇:She was still looking at me(她还在看着我),There are still plenty of horses round here(这附近还有很多匹马)。yet常用在否定句和疑问句中表示强调,或对某事还未发生表示惊奇,或表示某事将要发生:Have you seen it yet(你看过了吗),The troops could not yet see the shore(部队还是看不见海岸),It isn't dark yet(天色还没有暗下来)。英国英语中already和yet通常用于现在完成时:I have already started knitting baby clothes(我已经开始织婴儿衣服了),Have they said sorry yet(他们道过歉了吗)。美国英语中,常用于过去时:She already told the neighbors not to come(她已经告诉邻居们别来了),I didn't get any sleep yet(我还没合过眼)。这种用法在英国英语中也越来越普遍。

七、词义辨析
adv.(副词)- already, still
- 这两个词意思相近,但already指比预想的时间早, still指比预想的时间长。试比较以下两个句子:
- The coffee is cold already.
- 咖啡已经凉了。
- The coffee is still hot.
- 咖啡还热着。
- already, yet
- 这两个词意思相近,其区别是:
- 1.already多用于肯定句,而yet多用于疑问句或否定句。例如:
- The guests have already arrived.客人已经到了。
- Have the guests arrived yet?客人到了吗?
- The guests have not arrived yet.客人还没到。
- 2.already有时也可用于疑问句中表示惊讶、怀疑,或者表示期望〔预计〕有一个肯定的回答。试比较以下两个句子:
- Have you had your lunch yet?
- 你吃过午饭了吗?(一般疑问句)
- Have you had your lunch already?
- 你已经吃过午饭了?(表示惊讶)
- Have you received your invitation yet?
- 你收到邀请信了吗?(一般疑问句)
- Have you already received your invitation?
- 你已经收到邀请信了吧?
- (料想已收到,想证实)
- 3.yet有时也可用于肯定句中,意思与still相同(仍然,还; 迟早),而与already不同。
- already, all ready
- 这两者读起来音相同,但却绝非一回事。already是副词, ready是形容词; already的意思是“已经”, all ready的意思是“全准备好”, all用以表示程度。试比较:
- He is already there.
- 他已经在那儿了。
- He is all ready there.
- 他在那儿完全准备好了。
- The tea is already on the table.
- 茶已摆在茶几上了。
- The tea is all ready on the table.
- 茶已沏好,摆在茶几上了。
