用法辨析

prep. (介詞)

• before可用于表示時(shí)間。首先，可以表示“先于，在…以前”，其后可以跟表示具體日期、時(shí)間等的名詞或數(shù)詞，也可以跟表示時(shí)間或動(dòng)作的名詞。其次，可以表示“在做…之前”，后接 v -ing。再次，可以表示“緊接在…之前”。before用于否定句還可表示“直到…為止”。注意before之后只能接表示時(shí)間點(diǎn)的名詞，而不能接表示時(shí)間段的名詞。
• before可用于表示動(dòng)態(tài)或靜態(tài)的位置，意思是“在…之前”，與behind相對。
• before可用于表示順序或排列上的“在…之前”或“居于…之前”，與after相對。引申可用于表示比較，即在等級、價(jià)值、重要性、能力等方面的“在先”“優(yōu)于”“重于”。再引申則可用于表示對某事物的優(yōu)先選擇，即“寧可”或“與其…寧可”。
• before還可表示“面對，在…眼前，在…面前”“有待于去完成”“在審理中，由…考慮”“在…壓力下”等。

conj. (連詞)

• before主要引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句，意為“先于”“…之后才”“(不多久)就…”。當(dāng)主句是將來時(shí)時(shí)，從句謂語動(dòng)詞須用現(xiàn)在時(shí)；當(dāng)主句是一般過去時(shí)或過去完成時(shí)時(shí)，從句常用過去時(shí)。before引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句不能用于否定式。
• before還可用于barely〔scarcely〕...before結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“剛…就…”。
• before還可引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，意思是“寧愿…也不…”。
• before引導(dǎo)的從句常用省略句型。

adv. (副詞)

• before用作副詞時(shí),意思是“以前,在前面”,表示從較近的過去至較遠(yuǎn)的過去。用作時(shí)間狀語泛指以前、不與具體時(shí)間連用時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞可以用一般過去時(shí),也可用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),前者只表示“過去發(fā)生過”,后者則強(qiáng)調(diào)“對現(xiàn)在有影響”。
• before與具體時(shí)間連用時(shí),一般置于其后，謂語動(dòng)詞通常用過去完成時(shí)。
