释义 | 〔anymore〕In standard American English the wordanymore is often found in negative sentences: They don't live here anymore. Butanymore is widely used in regional American English in positive sentences with the meaning "nowadays": "We use a gas stove anymore" (Oklahoma informant in DARE).Its use, which appears to be spreading,is centered in the South Midland and Midwestern states—Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Iowa—and the Western statesthat received settlers from those areas.The earliest recorded examples are from Northern Ireland,where the positive use ofanymore still occurs. 在标准美国英语里anymore 一词常出现于否定句里: 他们再也不在这儿住了。 但anymore 在地方美国英语里广泛用于肯定句中,意思是“如今”: “我们现如今使用煤气炉” (美国区域英语词典的俄克拉何马州情报提供者)。它的用法似乎还正扩展,主要集中于中南部和中西部各州--田纳西州,肯塔基州,印第安纳州,俄克拉何马州和依阿华州——以及接收了这些地区移民的西部各州。最早记载的例子来自北爱尔兰,在那里anymore 一词的肯定用法仍在使用 |
