Earlier

“Earlier”是一个形容词或副词,主要有两个含义:

  1. 作为形容词:更早的,在时间上更早的
  2. 作为副词:更早地,在更早的时间
  1. The earlier meeting was cancelled. (更早的会议被取消了。)
  2. She arrived earlier than expected. (她比预期更早到达。)
  3. The earlier version was different. (更早的版本是不同的。)

“Earlier”来自形容词 “early”(早的),加上后缀 “-er”(比较级后缀)。

  • 词根:early(早的)
  • 后缀:-er(比较级后缀)

“Earlier”常用于描述在时间上更早的事物,在正式和日常语境中经常使用。

  • 形容词形式:early(早的)
  • 最高级:earliest(最早的)

可以将 “earlier” 与 “early”(早的)联系起来,“-er” 后缀表示”更早的”。

When I realized I had forgotten something at home, I had to go back earlier than planned - it made me late for my appointment. The earlier I leave, the more time I have, so I try to plan ahead. Using “earlier” helps you compare times and understand when something happened relative to something else.

当我意识到我忘记了一些东西在家里时,我必须比计划更早回去——这让我约会迟到了。我越早离开,我有越多的时间,所以我试图提前计划。使用”更早”帮助你比较时间并理解某事相对于其他事情何时发生。
