Just和Only是英語中特別常見的兩個詞

他們倆表示的意思也差不多，所以常常容易混淆。小編這一次就給大家分享一下Just和Only都有什么異同吧!

1.Just的定義

①Recently

Just可以用在動詞之前，表示剛做過某件事，比如：

Be careful— I just washed the floor, and it’s still wet.

( I washed the floor a few minutes ago.)

小心點，我剛剛才拖了地，還是濕的。

He just finished a big project.

(He finished the project very recently.)

他剛剛才完成了一個大項目。②只，僅僅

I have just one brother.

我只有一個哥哥。

I thought you were hungry, but you ate just half of your sandwich.

我以為你餓了，結果你只吃了半個三明治。

2.Only

Only在大多數情況下可以和Just互換。

Only two students came to class on the day before Christmas.

= Just two students came…

My kids only use the internet for schoolwork, not for playing games.

= My kids just use…

如果Just表示“剛剛”，它們就不能互換。注意在不同語境下的just：

*--- Did you clean the whole house?

--- No, I just washed the floor.(I only washed the floor.)

*---Why is the floor wet?

--- Because I just washed it.(不能用only替代)

注意在不同位置中的just：

I just ate two pieces of pizza.

我剛吃了兩塊披薩。

I ate just two pieces of pizza.

我只吃了兩塊披薩。
