ever的用法
ever用作副詞,意為“曾經(jīng)、以前、無論何時、總是”等.其用法比較靈活,現(xiàn)歸納如下：
一、用于一般疑問句,意為“曾經(jīng)、這以前”現(xiàn)代漢語中一般不譯出.
Does she ever go out at night?她通常晚上外出嗎?
Have you ever been to Beijing?你曾去過北京嗎?
When you were working there,did you ever meet a foreigner?你在那里工作時曾見過外國人嗎?
注意1．ever用于疑問句時,其答語中不用ever,若否定則用never.如：Have you ever heardthe song sung?Yes,Ihave．（No,Never．）
注意2．“Did you ever．．．?”有時單獨使用或用于反問句,表“驚訝、憤怒、懷疑”等.如：
Did you ever hear such nonsense?你真的聽到過如此胡言亂語?
Did you ever see the UFO?你還見到過飛碟?
二、用于否定句,意為“無論何時都不……,至今不曾……”.
Nothing ever happens in the lonely vil-lage．這個遙遠(yuǎn)的小村子至今未出過事.
We hardly ever go shopping there．我們至今未在那里買過東西.
Ihave not ever been there alone．我從未單獨去過那里.
注意：ever雖可與not連用,但通常習(xí)慣用never代替.
三、用于條件句,譯為“曾經(jīng)、有機(jī)會”.
If you ever come to Beijing,please letme know．如果有機(jī)會來北京,請告訴我.
If you ever have any problems,pleasecall me．你若有問題,請打電話.
四、與比較級連用,譯為“以前、以往、任何時候”.

Who ever disagreed with you?究竟是誰不同意你?
七、口語中,用于帶有be的疑問句加重語氣,表感嘆.
