conj.(连词)

1. after可用作连词连接一个时间状语从句,从句中一般用现在时表示将来。

adv.(副词)

1. after用作副词时常与soon, ever搭配,通常用于表示时间的名词后。
2. after用作副词时不用于比较等级。

1. 注意after和in的使用：从某时说到多少时间以后，不用after，而用in。如果指“某个时刻，日期或事件以后”，用after。

   He will/would arrive in four weeks.

   He will(或would)arrive after four o'clock /5 July/the ceremony.

2. 表达“某事件的若干时间以后”时，应是“若干时间after事件”，而不是“after若干时间of事件”。可说two hours after his arrival，不可说after two hours of his arrival。在“two hours after his arrival”前加不同的介词，有不同的意思:“two hours after his arrival”单用时指“他到达两小时以后”。若前面加the，如the two hours after his arrival指“他到达以后的两小时”，加for指“在他到达以后的两小时全段时间里”，加in 跟没有in意思相同，加within指“在他到达以后的两小时中的某时刻”；
3. 指“若干时间after日期或月份”时，常把当天的日期或当月除外。如five days after 3 July，指从7月4日算起的5天以后，也就是7月9日。但有例外，five days after I July可能指7月8日，months after July可能指11月，注意避免这种结构产生误解；
4. 指“从过去的某时或某事说到现在”时，不用after，用since，所以可说Since his graduation he has been abroad.（since不可改成after）一定要改的话，可表示为after his graduation he went abroad. 这里的after是介词，用作连接词时用法一样。

   He went abroad after he graduated.
   不可说 He has been abroad after he graduated.

5. half after four，five minutes after eight等是美国英语，相当于英国英语half past four，five minutes past eight等，英国方言中也有half after four等表达方式；
6. after引导的状语从句，用现在时态，不用将来时态。

   I shall start after he comes.

7. after常指时间先后的次序，而behind常指位置，如August comes after July，用after,，而A garden lies behind the house，用behind。不过有时after和behind可以通用。

   Please shut the door after/behind you.
   He came in after/behind her.

8. be after指“追求，要求”，

   He is after you.
   他正在追求你。

   He is always after me to teach him the violin.
   他老是要我教他小提琴。

9. after all有时指“虽然这样”，

   In coming home we got caught in the rain and became wet through and through, after all I don't mind as we had a fine time.

10. 不可说be after doing …，这里不是指想要做什么，或是将要做什么，而是已经做了什么。但是可以用after doing…的结构。

    after completing this form, give it to the secretary.

11. after作为副词时，通常不单用，而是以其他形式出现，如afterwards，then或after that。

    I'm going to do my exams, and afterwards I'm going to study medicine.

prep.(介词)

after, at, by, for, from, over, with, through

这两个词都可表示“按照”“根据”“依照”“依从”。其区别在于:

1.at多接抽象名词; 而by多接具体名词。

2.这两个词都有“按…计算”的意思,不过by用于英式英语; at用于美式英语。

after, behind

这两个介词都可表示“在…之后”。其区别是：

after往往表示时间的先后; behind多表示位置或方向的先后,与动态动词连用时表示运动方向。

after, beyond

这两个词都可表示时间上“晚于”“在…之后”。作“晚于”解时两者常可互换使用。其区别在于:

1.after表示发生在某事或某时〔点,段〕之后,可以是紧接,也可以是不紧接; 而beyond有发生于原定的或惯常的时间之后的意味。

2.在美国, after可表示“已过几点”或“几点以后”; 而beyond没有这种用法。

after, despite, for, notwithstanding, with

这几个词均可表示“让步”。after表示“让步”时在大多数情况下要和all连用,意思是“经过一切…之后,仍然…”; despite和in spite of具有相同的意思,但despite是正式用语,且语气较强; for表示“让步”时,其意思和用法与with基本相同,表示有保留的或未起作用的理由、原因,有“虽然…还是…”“尽管…仍然…”的意思,它们一般用于口语中,而且都必须和all连用,出现在句首; notwithstanding是正式用语,表示“让步”的语气较弱,其宾语往往是表示难度较小的障碍的名词,它引导的短语可以置于句首,亦可置于句中或句末,有时还可置于它引导的短语之后。

after, in, since

这三个介词都可指示时间关系,表示“在…之后”。其区别是：

after可表示从过去时间算起的一段时间之后,往往与过去时态连用（若接表示时间点的词，也可与将来时态连用）; in则表示从现在时间算起推移到将来的一段时间之后,一般与将来时态连用; since所表示的时间往往是从过去某一点时间一直延续到说话的时间,因而一般与完成时态连用。

after, past, to

这三个词均可表示钟点。表示在30分钟之内时可以用after或past,但前者一般用于美式英语,而后者在美式英语和英式英语中通用; 在表示超过30分钟时要用to,其后接下一个钟点。

after time, after a time

after time的意思是“迟到”“超过规定时间”，而after a time的意思则是“过了一段时间”。

after，behind，at the back of

这些词均有“在……后面”之意。

after强调的是顺序的先后。

behind在表示地点时侧重方向和位置的前后关系，在表示时间时侧重“落后……”或“迟于……”的概念。

at the back of这个前置词短语既可指具体的位置的先后，又可用于指抽象的概念。

• ☆ 直接源自古英语的of，意为离开。
