Lindsay: 我认为"at some point"指的是某个不确定的时间点,并非具体的时间。它可以用来表示将来某个不确定的时间,而不必限定具体的时间。使用"at some point"可以避免给对方施压,也给自己留有余地,因为它并不承诺具体的行动时间。 此外,"someday"、"sometime"和"somehow"都表达了不确定的时间或方式,它们都与"some point"表达类似的意思,只是侧重点略有不同。"someday"侧重于将来某一天,"sometime"侧重于将来某个时间段,而"somehow"则侧重于某种不确定的方式。 最后,我还想谈谈"some"在强调语气中的用法。例如,"She's some good singer",这句话就比"She's a good singer"更强调歌手的优秀程度。这种用法比较口语化,更能体现说话人的个性和情感。 总而言之,"some"在英语中有很多种用法,掌握这些用法可以使我们的英语表达更加丰富多彩。 Michelle: 我同意Lindsay的观点。"at some point"的确表示在某个不确定的时间点,它可以是很快,也可以是稍晚一些。它更侧重于表达一种意愿或可能性,而不是具体的计划。 "somewhere"、"someone"和"something"都表示不确定的事物或人,它们都属于泛指,而不是特指。"someone"虽然指的是特定的人,但由于缺乏具体的描述,仍然带有一定的不确定性。 "some"还可以与形容词连用,用于强调语气,这是一种比较口语化的用法,更能体现说话人的个性和情感。例如,"That was some argument they had",这句话就比"That was a strong argument"更强调争论的激烈程度。 总的来说,"some"的用法非常灵活,可以根据不同的语境和表达需要进行选择。熟练掌握"some"的各种用法,可以使我们的英语表达更加准确、生动和自然。
