Not yet 是什么意思?为什么“还没有”不能说 no yet

Not yet 是“还没有”,但仍预计会发生。说到一条迟迟未到的回复时,换一个小词,平静的陈述就可能听出不耐烦。

Not yet 表示截至目前还没有:某件事尚未发生,但仍然预计会发生。别人问一件事是否已经完成,而你之后才会做时,这是常见的简短回答。在完整句子中,yet 通常放在句末:I haven't decided yet。

想在对话中用 not yet 吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

Not yet.; Not yet, but + plan; haven't/hasn't + past participle + yet; not yet + adjective (not yet available)

  • Have you booked the hotel for our trip? — Not yet, I'm still comparing prices.
  • I haven't finished the report yet, but I'll send it to you before lunch.
  • The exam results are not yet available on the university website.

修改原因

修改前Have you paid the electricity bill? — No yet, I'll do it tonight.

修改后Have you paid the electricity bill? — Not yet, I'll do it tonight.

No 本身可以独立作答,后面不能直接接 yet。在这个回答中,yet 与 not 搭配,所以应说 Not yet。如果想用 no 开头,可以完整地说 No, not yet。

Cambridge Dictionary

Still 与否定形式搭配时,意思接近 not yet,但往往多了一点不耐烦或意外:已经等得比预想更久。He still hasn't replied, and I wrote to him a week ago. Not yet 的语气比较平静:目前还没有回复,但仍然预计会有。

动手练习

Is Anna back from her holiday? — ___. She's flying home on Sunday.

(Not yet / Not anymore)

查看答案

Not yet — Anna 要到星期日才回来,她的返程仍在之后,所以选 Not yet。Not anymore 表示“不再”,描述以前成立、现在已经结束的情况,例如一个人已经辞去的工作。

写一段简短对话:认识的人问你是否完成了某项任务。用 not yet 回答,并说明什么时候会完成。

Have you finished your essay? — Not yet, but I'll finish it by Thursday evening.
