adv.(副词)

soon用作副词,意思是“不久”,可指“将来”,表示“预期的时刻不久就会到来”,用以谈论不久将来的事或在过去某时间以后不久所发生的事,强调两个时间的接续关系。soon引申还可作“早”“快”解,强调行为的快捷,毫不迟延。

soon还可作“宁可”“宁愿”解,通常与would等连用,构成would (just), as soon...(as), would sooner...than的句型。

soon可放置于句末,有时也可放在句首,也常置于动词短语的第一个助动词后面,如果没有助动词,就置于实义动词前。但如果动词是be,则位于be的后面。如加quite, very或too修饰, soon则须置于句末。

no sooner...than...意思是“一…就”,特别用于书面语中,表示一件事情紧接着另一件事情发生, no sooner通常位于第一个从句的主要动词前面,第二个从句than开始。在故事中,有时用倒装语序,将no sooner放于句首,后面紧跟主语。

soon前可有very, pretty, quite, rather等修饰。
