首先用英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)?有哪幾種說(shuō)法,它們的區(qū)別在哪里?下面就由少兒英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)部的Lucky老師為大家進(jìn)行分享。
首先一種不正式的英語(yǔ)說(shuō)法是for a start,for a start的意思是首先,相當(dāng)于first 或 firstly。
例句:
Well ,for a start , it isn't Michael's house . It belongs to his parents .
恩,首先,這不是邁克爾的房子,這房子屬于他父母。
You can clear up this mess ,for a start . Then you can help me with the cooking
你可以先收拾這堆亂七八糟的東西,飯后再幫我做飯。
情景模擬:
parcel for Mrs Johnson . Sign here , please .
Well, for a start . I'm not Mrs Johnson …
And , for another thing ,this isn't 33 park Road .
This is 33 park Street . I'm afraid you're in the wrong part of town .
首先除了for a start,也可以用first of all或first and foremost,那么下面就講講first of all與first and foremost的區(qū)別。
first of all 指首先,強(qiáng)調(diào)排在一切事情的前面。
例句:
First of all,I'd like to thank my parents for their love and support .
首先,我要感謝我父母給予我的關(guān)愛(ài)和支持。
Let us , first of all , stand and sing the national anthem .
首先,讓我們起立唱國(guó)歌。
Tips:
有時(shí)first of all 與 first and foremost 意思相同。
例句:
This play is about family relationships first of all . It's not really about politics .
這部戲首先是關(guān)于家庭關(guān)系,與政治不太相關(guān)。
first and foremost 表示首要的是,首先。
例句:
Barbara is a journalist first and foremost . Painting is only her hobby.
芭芭拉首先是個(gè)新聞工作者,繪畫(huà)只不過(guò)是她的業(yè)余愛(ài)好。
This is first and foremost a business trip , not a holiday.
這首先是出差,而不是度假。
情景模擬:
There's no sign of a break-in ,sir.
The windows were all locked and none of them have been broken .
The back door was bolted from the inside .
In that case , what we need to know first and foremost , sergeant , is how many people had a key to the front door .
