This week we answer a question we received from Nurfidhea in Indonesia. "What is the difference between "just" and "only"?
本周,我们回答印尼的努尔菲提亚提出的一个问题 。"just"和"only"的区别是什么?
How and when should I use them? Thank you" - Nurfidhea, Makassar, Indonesia Dear Nurfidhea, thank you for writing to us.
我应该如何以及何时使用它们?谢谢——印尼望加锡的努尔菲提亚 亲爱的努尔菲提亚,谢谢你写信给我们 。
This is an interesting set of words, because when used as adverbs, they seem to mean the same thing.
这是一组有趣的单词,因为当用作副词时,它们的意思似乎是一样的 。
Here are some examples: There is just enough time to listen to one more song.
这里有一些例子:我们仅有足够的时间再听一首歌 。
Or: There is only enough time to listen to one more song. She was just a baby when she came to America.
或者是:我们只有足够的时间再听一首歌 。她来美国时仅是个婴儿 。
Or: She was only a baby when she came to America. I have just one brother.
或者是:她来美国时只是个婴儿 。我仅有一个兄弟 。
Or: I have only one brother. But that is not always true.
或者是:我只有一个兄弟 。但那并不总是对的 。
We will look at the times when you must choose one and not the other. "Just" can mean "merely," "barely" or "exactly".
我们来看看什么时候你必须选择其中一个而不是另一个 。"Just"可以表示"仅仅"、"就"或"恰好" 。
It is also used to describe a time in the recent past, or a simple truth. Here are some examples where you can use "just" while "only" would be incorrect.
它也可以用来描述最近的一段时间,或者一个简单的事实 。在以下一些例子,你可以使用"just",而使用"only"则不正确 。
I just made tea. Would you like a cup?
我刚泡了茶 。你想喝一杯吗?
【Just 和 Only 的区别,你知道吗? only是什么意思】Here "just" means recently. When you want to say "recently" you should always use "just".
这里的"just"指的是最近 。当你想说"最近"的时候,你应该始终使用"just" 。
She lives just north of the city center. Here it means barely.
她就住在市中心的北边 。在这里它的意思是"就" 。
He just does not have enough talent to sing in the opera. Here it is a simple truth.
他只是没有足够的才能唱歌剧 。在这里它是一个简单事实 。
The adverb "only" comes from the word "one" and means "alone," or "with no others". A good way to think of this word is that it describes a unique, or singular, situation.
副词"only"来源于单词"one",意思是"单独的"或"没有其他的" 。理解这个单词的一个好方法是:它描述了一种独特或不一般的情况 。
Here are some sentences where you can only use the word "only". The gym is only for women.
在以下句子中你只能使用"only" 。健身房只供女性使用 。
We will go home only if it starts to rain. I love only you.
只有开始下雨了,我们才回家 。我只爱你 。
A good way to remember the difference is to use "only" for a special or single thing, and "just" for exact ideas and recent events.
记住区别的一个好方法是,表示特殊的或单一的事物用"only",表示确切的观点和最近发生的事用"just" 。
I hope this is just the answer you sought! And now, I have only one request.
我希望这就是你寻找的答案!现在我只有一个请求 。
